CR004: Partisan

The label I co-founded in 2013 and run - Circadian Rhythms - have released its fourth major release: CR004 Partisan. A multi-artist album tracing the lineage of jungle and rave. Physical products and clothing made with used and up-cycled materials. The Partisan collection represents a collective of artists and designers engaging with repurposing, recycled materials and small scale local production. It does not represent a solution, rather an attempt to question the very idea of “sustainable production” within our practice and to understand its limitations.⁣ More info at www.circadian-rhythms.com/cr004 Music by: Sully, Thugwidow, Shell, Impey, Grade 10, Hyph11E, Acre, Ausschuss, Flora Yin-Wong, Clouds, Filter Dread, Ytem, Sense Fracture and Time Reaper.

Borrowing the utilitarian design functionalities from used military surplus and sailing materials, while subverting the aggressive connotations of camouflage and fabrication, the collection is both conceptual and practical, designed to protect anyone operating in our current unpredictable climate.⁣ ⁣ Credits:⁣ Clothing: Ausschuss Graphics: Eric Hu Production and Photography: Infraviolet Productions Models: @akinvctr and Matilda Bah⁣ Styling: @Erosandphilia⁣ Creative Direction: Blackwax Hair and makeup: @phi.la⁣ Special Thanks to @Karlhoess @stph.lng
