DJ Phenomenon Jeremy De Koste Exclusive ManChic Interview

By know you are aware how much we are obsessed with British culture. And for Jeremy De Koste an amazing DJ originally from France that has successfully transplanted his career to Los Angeles, British music producers are big inspiration.

ManChic: Besides France, UK is the the most prolific market for Music and Fashion, how much the sound from UK has influenced your style ?

Jeremy: Dance music style from UK has always been very inspiring to me. I remember when I started to Dj, I was going to London to select and buy some vinyls for my shows.

ManChic: Who would be your #1 choice to work with in UK, and why ?

Jeremy: It would be Calvin Harris for sure! He is the kind of artist who always surprises you with his production. He is very gifted and an inspiration for me as producer. He is a good example of what successful music career should look like.

ManChic: You have over 15 years of experience in Music Production as DJ, what is the most effective lesson you have learned while growing your business?

Jeremy: Keep working and keep working every day. Never be ashamed to fail as sometime that is the best way learn. Also never take anything for granted.

ManChic: Collaborations are al the rage right now, anything cooking on that front?

Jeremy: I recently met a major artist at one of my gigs and we decided to work together on a new EP. I am really happy about that collaboration unfortunately I can not say more about it at this time. You are up for a big surprise. 

ManChic: What was the experience working with Julian McDonald on his fashion show?

Jeremy: He is one of the biggest stylists in the world, and it was such a pleasure to be in charge of the music for his fashion show. The vibe was amazing and the fashion show was on an another level.

ManChic: You were DJ at the birthday party of Paul Kemsley for the Americas most watched reality TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . How was the experience of being filmed for reality show while DJ-ing?

Jeremy: It was a great experience, it is something completely different than DJing in a night club, as every detail counts. You need to play only cleared music when they record (which was not a problem as I am also a producer). And to be honest Paul and his family are adorable so it was so easy and such a pleasure to play for them.

ManChic: Where can we see you next behind the DJ booth ?

Jeremy: I am going to conclude this year by DJing at the biggest New Year Party in Los angeles at Unici casa.

 

ManChic: Thank you Jeremy. We suggest that you all check Jeremy De Cost page on APPLE Music for some latest and hottest beats around.

Inject Games into Your Wardrobe with Cool Tips

You can tell a lot about a person by how they dress. Fashion should be an extension of your personality. It should make you feel comfortable and is a great mode of non-verbal communication. Yet so many forget to have fun with fashion. The only time many of us feel bold enough to do so is at a theme night or a Halloween party. It doesn’t have to be this way! Take control of your clothing and don’t be afraid to take your own cues. Think about your interests and how you can incorporate these into your wardrobe. Since we know many of you out there are avid gamers, we’ve decided to focus on gaming to show how even the most unlikely of past times can take boost your chic factor.

One of the easiest ways to incorporate gaming into your fashion is by wearing a themed t shirt. These can be worn oversized with skinny jeans for a grungy look or fitted with baggier jeans and trainers for a more preppy take on the look. It’s so easy to source many of your favourite video game memorabilia that finding a t shirt need never be a problem. If it has a huge cult following or enjoys mainstream success then you should be able to find a t shirt on the games main webstore. If not there are a variety of reputable high quality t shirt web companies such as Teefury. If you’re looking for some kick ass Borderlands designs then head on over to TeePublic to see some of their great looks.

Video games are not the only types of games which can easily incorporated into your fashion. It might seem crazy but even casino games and bingo could be woven into your look. You could take the same approach as the video games and look to t shirts to jazz up your look. Although these tees may be harder to source, they can still be found. With so many online printing stores now available you could even create your own. If you’re looking for inspiration for your graphic then your best bet would be to hit up a bingo site. Within many of them, like in here, is a wealth of traditional graphics that you can recreate on your tee.

Adding some traditional bingo or casino feels to your look doesn’t have to be as bold as using a tee. You can even bring this theme in through accessories. Accessories are a great way to add some personality to an outfit. Outside of casino cities such as Las Vegas, it may be hard to pick these up in your local shops. However as in many cases the interest is a treasure trove. You could pick up readymade accessories at a host of online stores. Or if you want to really up your creativity; try buying jewellery components to make your own cool accessories. This way you know you’re guaranteed to have a unique piece!

It’s really easy to let your creativity flow in fashion. Don’t be stifled. Let the world see who you are!

Urban Adventurer Fashion Trend

It is summer and during this hot season most of you may have your mind set on travelling to various part of the world. When travelling as an urban adventurer, you will most probably need to dress as one! The easiest way to dress smart is by creating a story that goes with your look, and it should be an adventurous one. Safari and military are the keywords when trying to get the correct outfit that you can wear to explore the world. And fashion trend followers are heading into the wild this season with an African Twist.

You can look fierce in any city apart from the jungles by wearing urban safari clothes, and modern style and designs of famous fashion and designer brands are continuously getting inspired by the urban adventurer trend. The boundary of urban safari fashion is limitless and it has even reached the online gaming world with slots such as Aztec Idols and Pearls of India featuring the fashion trend setter and uncompromising hero Riche Wild at Magical Vegas, the mobile slots casino. This unique gaming character is the best example of how to dress to look smart in urban safari wears. This character wears body hugging white safari shirt, a chiffon red scarf, khaki denim jeans, huge brown leather belt, worn out leather Suede Boots, and camo bag to give him the perfect urban adventurer style.

The Urban Safari style is not only for men but for the ladies as well. This fashion gives any women the wild factor and makes them stand out as an individual. The urban adventurer is also comfortable, giving you bold yet simple shapes, where you do not look like a squeezed lemon. This style is associated with animal prints, hints of tribal, earthy and wild tones, and geometric patterns. Bold jewelleries, and a floppy sun hat are some of the accessories that could go with your wild look of green coloured shirt tucked into your dark blue denim short, and lightweight leopard print vest. This wild safari style will no doubt make you stand out in urban settings, making you look adventurous and sophisticated at the same time.

Colours that you may implement for this fashion trend are hues of earth colours, shades of khaki, camel, ochre, beige, and olive green. Raffia, silk and cotton can be some of the natural fabrics to make you look more natural in your wild look. If you are looking for a scarf with an animal print, you could go for a giraffe, zebra, snake, or leopard print. Sometimes only one piece of clothing added to your style is enough to make yourself look like an authentic safari girl or boy. It can simply be a khaki jacket that could reveal the adventure seeker in you. A military touch could add some sexiness if worn correctly. There are numerous trend mix and match combinations that include Bohemian Chic, Urban Chic, Military Touch. It can be difficult to get the correct urban adventurer look unless if you are an adventurer in your heart and you know how to explore new styles just as Indiana Jones! 

Top 5 James Bond Outfits

Renowned as a style icon, James Bond has been the most fashionable man on the silver screen for the last 60 years. 007 attire choices are always a hit, be it smart casual, he is always the best dressed man in the room. Here a few of the best outfits he has showcased:

Safari-style Bond
First seen in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me, Sir Roger Moore pulls off this tan colour suit with ease. Rumoured to have been made by Gucci, the jacket has fantastic breast and hip pockets, the perfect place for a secret agent to hide his weapon of choice.

To top off an iconic look, Bond supports a pair of suede brown moccasins with a slight heel, making Moore the trendiest 007 of them all.

Cashmere Bond
Although many regard Pierce Bronson’s films as the weakest out of all the Bonds, there is no denying is a suave specimen. In his final outing as 007 in Die Another Day, the setting is an ice hotel in the Arctic Circle – the perfect place for James to bring his own style. The turtle-neck cashmere jumper provides not only warmth, but an après-ski touch of class.

Grey Three-Piece Suit Bond
< This suit is so iconic, Leonardo Di Caprio’s character in Catch Me If You Can order the exact same on in the film. The original Bond Sean Connery wears this number in the ever popular Goldfinger as he visits the title characters horse racing track. Its besom pockets and breast pocket make it an iconic Savile Row number.

Sandown Hat Bond
Popular in the films between 1962 and1964, Bond always supporting his favourite Sandown Hat. Lindy Hemming, former wardrobe assistant for the Bond films states “His is a capsule wardrobe, vaguely aristocratic, with many items that his creator Ian Fleming would have had himself”, making it an essential piece of 007 clothing.

Bow-Tie Bond
Bond’s black bow tie turns up in almost every film as he sits in a casino with a glamorous assistant on this arm, although you would expect the new 007 to do this with a tablet device and simply try his luck at iPadcasino.co.nz. Facing off in blackjack and poker against his villainous counterparts, Bond was the epitome of cool as he usually came out on top.

Electronic cigarettes 'could save millions of lives'

"Scientists say that if all smokers in the world switched from cigarettes to electronic cigarettes, it could save millions of lives." accordion to BBC News. This got me thinking.

Why people are having such a hard time making a decision that completely makes sense ?

Rather than inhaling the toxic substances found in tobacco, e-cigarette users inhale vaporised liquid nicotine.

And since the arrival of Vapourlites , I see even more reasons to make a switch. And not to mention the smell or actually thee lack of it. The vapour is odourless and dissipates within seconds. It doesn't linger unlike cigarette smoke. It doesn't give you 'smokers breath' or leave your hands and clothes smelling of cigarettes either.

Check out the BBC News article here for more information.
