Petite Noir Takes Pitchfork By Storm!

Sean Shuter — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 12:58:47 +0000

Unknown Union couldn’t be more proud of original member Yannick Ilunga, better known as Petite Noir. We’ve posted this video for “Till We Ghosts” before but today it was named Best New Track by Pitchfork.

The Guardian UK raved “The first three words he sings are “Oh my God”, which is exactly how we felt when we heard this.”

The downside of all this success is that we don’t see Yannick as much we used to: he just returned from Senegal and he’s leaving for London soon to prepare for his live debut at the Old Blue Last on September 13th. When he is in Cape Town, you will most likely find him in the UU office using our wi-fi to further the Noir Wave revolution.

While working hard to get the Topshop and Topman pop-up shop ready for next week, we got a pleasant surprise yesterday with the arrival of Levi’s new premium Commuter line. Designed with the urban cyclist in mind, this is the nicest range of product we’ve seen from Levi’s in a very long time and is only available at a handful of select retailers.

Clams Casino – Instrumental Mixtape 2

Sean Shuter — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:35:57 +0000

One of our favorite beat makers to emerge in the last few years has dropped his second instrumental mixtape. You may know many of the beats from tracks by A$AP Rocky, Lil B, The Weeknd – even Lana Del Rey – but it’s amazing how great they sound without the vocals. Nutley, New Jersey’s finest has been kind enough to make this mix available for free. Don’t miss it!
