The Creative Class: RAC
Jul 18, 2017
Tall with a boyish look and bright blue eyes, André Allen Anjos is exactly what you might expect when meeting a DJ and producer responsible for some of the best nuanced remixes of indie songs. He’s charmingly unassuming and authentic; a self-proclaimed introvert whose passion for his craft is clearly palpable. Originally from Portugal, Anjos moved to Illinois for college and soon after founded RAC, otherwise known as Remix Artist Collective. He began offering up his services - cold call style - to various independent artists and bands. His first big break? A remix of The Shins’ “Sleeping Lessons” off their 2007 album Australia. After a decade of hard work, Anjos won his first Grammy for Best Remixed Recording, becoming the first Portuguese artist to solidify a spot in music history.

How to 'Distill' Your Style: Creating a Men's Capsule Wardrobe
Jan 28, 2016
Ever wonder how some guys look like their style is so unique yet bold? Yes, some may have endless funds to keep their closet items revolving, but others have the right weapons in their arsenal to keep it fresh and locked in. Once you have a solid foundation of basics - a few pairs of denim, some tee’s and shirts - you can pair them with different shoes, jackets, and hoodies to make endless possibilities. Starting with denim, a pair of black jeans is a must for both dressing up and dressing down, followed by a darker blue (whiskering optional), as well as a lighter blue or even grey.

Here are some of our tried and true travel staples to help you streamline the holiday packing process so you can focus on the important things…like holiday punch, friend reunions, and trying to explain to your grandparents what it is you’re even *doing* with your life.
