Sure, we here at JUICE take a lot of pride in our cover designs (tirelessly crafted with tender loving care month after month by our resident vector vigilante Davis Kam), but we admit that some other mags have neat fronts too. The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) compiled 40 of the best covers of […]
If you can’t afford the threads there’s always Bape Cafe. The location of Bathing Ape parties and launches, the food is averagely priced for Tokyo but apart from being a little like heaven for Bape junkies – the ceiling and tables are ape shaped, the stools are decorated with the trademark camo-ape – it’s no […]
Right about now, the lomocam freaks are cradling their Holgas in awe-stricken denial. This digital camera right here just ripped the quirky cool throne from all those 9-frames-at-a-time plastic playthings. The Seitz 6×17 Digital does’t just look weird, get this: it takes panoramic photos measuring 6cm x 17cm (hence its name, duh) in staggering 160 […]
Oh come now. You go clubbing four times a week and you’re telling me you can’t form an opinion on the DJs you pay 50 bucks a head to go see spin? They’re pretty good, right? The local ones can hold their own, no? You’d tell that to other people, yes? “Malaysian DJs rock shows […]
Recently, I got into a very enlightening conversation on Malaysian lifestyle habits, and one thing that kept cropping up were shopping malls. The average urban Malaysian frequents the mall, well… frequently. The multi purpose mall caters to a wide range of needs – cinemas, supermarkets, retail shops, food courts and other distractions all in air-conditioned […]
I was at The Loft in Zouk last night covering Sessions, The Loft’s weekly showcase of some of the best local DJs. Last year’s JUICE DJ Quest winners Assault & Battery were spinning their last set for the foreseeable future, what with one half of them, DJ Assault aka Aiman, leaving for the UK this Sunday. I […]
As someone who went to design school, I’m a little ashamed to admit that I had never heard of Vaughn Bode ’til about an hour ago. From his birth in 1941 to his untimely death only 34 years later, Bode was part of the spearhead of the underground comic, avant garde graphic design and graffiti […]
Chill, I’m not telling you to buck the Government. But with last week’s budget presentation, the same social scourge has gotten its fair whipping – that’s right, cigarette prices have gone up again. I’m not saying I smoke (*blatantly fake halo*), but for those of you who do, this might be a good time to […]
Wa-hey! Merdeka has come and gone and the feeling of patriotism I had in my fingers and toes, that I mistook for early warning signs of stroke, is still tingling. Despite the overcrowding, I enjoyed myself tremendously at Laundry where Madison Flynt was playing. Amidst the Merdeka revellers – snarling city-wide jams and the elbowing […]
By tomorrow, Malaysia will be 49 years old, and many of us will be scraping ourselves off the carpet in a hungover stupor, trying to make sense of the universe again after a night of hardcore partying. Nothing wrong with partying, of course. Go ahead and knock yourself out. But maybe the festive mood would […]
