Wednesday night, Nas’ and Damian Marley’s »Distant Relatives« tour took them to Tollwood Festival in Munich and the show was epic.
Not only did they perform a brilliant 2-hours-live-set including most – if not all – of the tunes from their Grammy-deserving collaborative studio album as well as their biggest solo joints, Nas also happened to wear our »Words, Power & Sound« T-shirt throughout the second half of the gig.
It’s hard to describe how it feels to have one of the biggest rappers this planet has ever seen representing in seen. – it’s probably the easiest to say pretty damn good and we definitely count our blessings…
Thanks a million, Max and Julian, for making this happen!
Hey ladies: seen. Summer 2010 shirts are finally available for you.
But as we need a little bit more time to get the ladies shirts in our online shop, I’ll just explain how to pre-order them even without using the shop:
1) Check the lookbook above.
2) Choose your favourite shirts and note down their IDs.
3) Send an email with the IDs, your size, name and address to shop@seen-site.com.
We will then get in touch to provide you with details about payment.
All ladies shirts are 29,99 EUR (incl. shipping costs) and are available in sizes S and M. As all ladies shirts are custom made, delivery will take about 4 weeks from the day of order.
Thanks for your pre-orders already – they can be placed until Sunday, August 8th.
This week’s episode of the Tropical Heat podcast is once again presented by King Kong Disco out of Hamburg city, Germany.
After they took us on a fantastic journey to Studio 1 universe last time, they have a look at what has become of those classic riddims 20 years after their release today: their new mix »DJ Unity«,
is a mix dedicated to the versatile reggae deejay styles of the 90s. During the 2-hour jugglings, we meet dancehall producers like e.g. Bobby Digital or Donovan Germain who started their legendary careers in that decade. On top of the productions, we get a completely new generation of deejays who couldn’t sound more different than their 70s predecessors did: artists like Shabba Ranks, Tony Rebel, Terror Fabulous, or Terry Ganzie had a major influence on what is known as dancehall ragga today.
Enjoy!

»Innermann« is a book prototype with about 230 pages featuring a decade of black and white portraits of Jamaican reggae, ska and dancehall artists such as Alton Ellis, Sugar Minnot or Beres Hammond – just to name a few.
The layout of the book is already completey finished but to get »Innermann« produced, Holger, the photographer, needs financial support. Therefore, he is looking for either one exclusive sponsor financing the project or multiple limited sponsors joining forces to finally get »Innermann« from screen to print.
Unfortunately, we are not in the situation to back him up with euro dollars ourselves, but – like our friend Kai – we are happy to help Holger find the people who are. So in case you’re reading this and would like to sponsor »Innermann«, please get in touch with Holger here.
Make sure to show up at Puerto Giesing on Friday. Besides Schlachthofbronx (w/ live appearance by Ron Foto), Malente, Tim Turbo and Daladala will be at the controls. The first 25 guests will receive a seen. shirt for free.
