Machete Designs Valentine’s Day Collection

tia — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 01:22:09 +0000

Montreal-based Machete Designs has recently released their 2011 Valentine’s Day collection. I know what you’re thinking. Most “his and hers” jewelry designs, especially Valentine’s Day collections, tend to be packed with frills, hearts, cupids and other tacky clichés, but don’t expect any of that from Machete Designs. Each matching set is one-of-a-kind and includes nonpareil trinkets like vintage keys and gorilla pendants. For more photos, check out Machete Design’s website. Spread the love.

INTERVIEW: Q&A with Montreal’s Braids

Igloofest 2011 Preview

liamokeefe — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 20:13:26 +0000

A common rebuttal by those fatigued and jealous of Montrealer’s constant evangelizing on the vibrancy and community of their home is the assertion that the island goes dead during the brutal winter months. If that’s truly how the rest of the world sees the city, consider Igloofest Montreal’s extended middle finger, an outdoors electronic music fest that shows a joie de vivre in subzero temperatures most cities couldn’t manage in perfect conditions. With too many acts to count packed into the fest’s three weekends, here’s our guide to what’s worth seeing.

Week 1

Thursday, Jan. 13:

Start the fest off easy and pace it right by checking out Rilly Guilty at the Virgin Mobile Igloo at 8.

Saturday, Jan. 15:

Saturday night definitely has the heaviest concentration of Montreal’s own sons and daughters and it’s probably the night we’re most excited about. For a constant stream of Montreal’s best artists, start the night at the Main Stage to catch the Night Trackin DJs‘ 6:30 set, then head over to the Igloo for SHAYdakiss & A-Rock‘s set at 8, before sprinting back to the Main Stage at 9 for Lunice‘s epic swagfest.

Egyptrixx

Week 2

Thursday, Jan. 20:

The smart move is to sharpen your elbows and mob the Main Stage for all the night’s best shows. Kid Sister, Terror Danjah, and Eskmo will definitely be worth staking out some valuable territory.

Friday, Jan. 21:

One of Igloofest’s absolute-can’t-miss-shows is Toronto native and Night Slugs warrior Egyptrixx. Do whatever you can to be front and center at his 8:00 Main Stage set.

Saturday, Jan. 22:

The shows at Igloofest don’t run too late, but MTL native Hatchmatik‘s 10:00 Igloo set ought to capture the late night loft aesthetic to a T.

Ikonika

Week 3

Thursday, Jan. 27:

The safe bet for a great show is to stake out the Main Stage all night for Jordan Dare and the legend Carl Craig. Those more daring, or perhaps desperate for a change of scenery, might take a chance on venturing to Robyn‘s 10:00 show at Metropolis. Either way, there are no losers at Igloofest.

Friday, Jan. 28:

Let it never be said that fest isn’t going out swinging. Once again, stake out the Main Stage all night for climactic sets by Ikonika and MTL’s natural born riddim killer, Poirier. Miss any part of the night at your own peril.

Machete Designs Contest

tia — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 00:24:13 +0000

Machete Designs is a Montreal-based custom jewelry company that takes old trinkets and random objects – think broken antique chandeliers and nostalgic Jurassic Park figurines – and transforms them into fresh-to-death accessories. They’re currently running a Facebook contest called “Rock What You Got” that invites users to upload a photograph of an object from their own treasure chest, and the person with the most votes gets a custom-made necklace by Machete designer Avril-Maud herself that incorporates the creative pendant into the designs. For more about the contest visit the Machete Designs Facebook page.
