    Three, is the magic number according to De La Soul, but what about The Fashion Office? Best prepare yourself, it seems this week there are some risky (but still rather good) recommendations.  Without further adieu, here they are… A Work in Progress picks: Prince – 1999. Good call. Ellie from Notes on the High street…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs about Food

    Anyone else feeling the need to eat up and hibernate? Well, this week’s The Fashion Office Recommends, all about Food, probably isn’t going to help. Sorry. However fear not, what we can promise you is a fabulous selection of lip-smacking tracks to get your taste-buds tingling and your toes tapping. Here’s what the girls have…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Girl Bands

    Girl bands, how could we ever have forgotten them? This week, The Fashion Office are standing firm for feminism and picking their recommended tracks from some of the world’s most unforgettable, ladies-only groups. In the immortal words of the women once known as Ginger, Posh, Sporty, Baby and Scary, prepare yourself for some ‘girl power!’…

  • Cocoon at Amnesia Ibiza 2010

    For those of you as partial to Sven Väth’s Cocoon club and recordings as I am, you’ll be pleased to know the dates for this year’s Ibiza parties at Amnesia have been announced. Hopefully the lineups won’t be too far behind… Let the flight booking commence! Opening party – Monday June 14th. With 2009’s incredible laser-strewn…

  • Robert Babicz – Sonntag

    By total coincidence I stumbled upon Polish-born Germany-based tech producer Robert Babicz and his track Sonntag this evening, indeed on a Sunday. Released way back in 2005 on his Mister Head vinyl, it’s one of those timeless tunes that still sounds as fresh now as it did then. This cool little track owns a bit of…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Motivational Songs

    We’re feeling the burn this week so what better than a good old motivational song to get The Fashion Office and the rest of you kick-started? From classic Candi Staton to disco diva Donna Summer, we’ve picked all the tracks you need to stop procrastinating and help you realise the world really is at your…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs About Cities

    After three weeks off stuffing our faces with turkey, Quality Street and mince pies, we’re back!  This time, we’re dreaming of escaping the big freeze and prolonging the holiday period with Songs About Cities.  What better than a cool song inspired by a far flung destination to take your mind off the chill factor? Sartoriology recommends:…

  • Soldiersailor’s Sounds Of 2009

    Not only is it the end of the year, but the end of a decade. Can you believe it? Over the last year, (and the other nine plus) there’s been some amazing tracks and artists that have graced our radio stations plus topped both popular and dance charts. For me, there’s a collection of tunes…

  • Paul Ritch – Split The Line Dubfire Mega Remix

    Sometimes there really is nothing quite like a crescendo building house track to lift the spirits. Thanks to Paul Ritch and Dubfire, that’s exactly what Split The Line delivers. My lovely friends at CR2 Records sent over their Space Around The World release that introduced me to the mix. Funny how the things work sometimes…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs About Money

    Seeing as its pay day (and we’ve all been surprise with a little extra by way of Christmas Spirit) it seems only fitting to theme this week’s Fashion Office Recommends to, well, Money!  Surrounded daily by Miu Miu, Stella McCartney and Christian Louboutin to name a few, we know what we’ll be spending ours on,…

  • Chuckie & That Bass

    Quite frankly, if you haven’t heard it, where have you been? DJ Chuckie (aka Clyde Narain) and duo LMFAO seem intent on taking the world by storm with their super catchy Let The Bass Kick In. Originally released in Italy in 2008, ‘Part 2’ officially hit the UK shelves last Monday. Chris Moyles and the…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Christmas Songs!

    Ok, so we had to do a festive theme sooner or later! With workloads relentlessly on the up before St. Nicholas parks his sleigh to make those all important deliveries, it seemed only natural to inspire a bit of festive cheer in The Fashion Office. So from the ever-popular Wham to classic Bing Crosby, here’s our hit list…

  • Paul Kalkbrenner- Atzepeng

    Time to come clean, I have an unhealthy addiction. Ok, so there are worse things to be hooked on but I can’t quite get enough of Paul Kalkbrenner. From his amazing mix from this summer’s Chateau Click Clack festival in Germany and his performance in Berlin Calling (finally winging it’s way to me as we…

  • Radio One Live Lounge: The Script – Times Like These

    Every now and then there’s a Radio One Live Lounge cover that totally blows me away.  This time, it’s The Script’s turn with Foo Fighter’s Times Like These. Ok, so I’m a huge Foo Fighters fan but this track sheds new light on The Script for me as it showcases lead singer Danny O’Donaghue’s amazing vocals,…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs About Friends

    This week, we’re devoting The Fashion Office Recommends to those lovely people we call Friends. Where would we be without them?

A Work In Progress picks: James Taylor – You’ve…

  • MYNC Are Back, Bigger & Better Than Ever Before

    About three years ago I discovered an amazing track called Something On Your Mind by MYNC Project, aka CR2 Records owner Mark Brown and Nick Corelli. Since then, the duo parted ways temporarily to invest time on their solo projects and now they’re back and after enlisting producer Harry ‘Choo Choo’ Romero and Jose Nunez…

  • Say Hello To Dadahack’s Debut

    Between working with the We Fear Silence boys and a few other projects, I’ve been inundated with a plethora of reviewing and the virtual postbag (or six, or seven) has been filled with all sorts of new music. With so much to plough through and listen to, it’s refreshing when something pretty awesome like Dadahack’s Hellos EP jumps up…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs Inspired By Love

    Due to the powers that be (aka work), I sadly had to abandon, or at least postpone my Bonfire night plans last night. Not one to miss out, this simply meant moving my celebrations to Saturday where I’ll be drinking mulled wine, snapping pics and singeing my fingertips on sparklers to the ‘Love’ themed display…
