  • Davide Squillace mixes Cavo Paradiso 11, Reconstructions

    Summer must be almost in full bloom as the next instalment of Cavo Paradiso’s compilations has landed on my desk. Each year, the Mykonos-based club have a knack for releasing their disc ahead of the silly season, a wise move, though not as wise as choosing a hot property star to mix it. This year…

  • Zoo Look – Holdin’ On

    Alexander Warren, Samson King and Craig Watkins are the trio of talented boys behind UK-based ‘Zoo Look’. A friend over at Defected Records was kind enough to send me their most recent EP this morning, released on Tenth Circle. It’s a cool little track with a clap of the hands-style bassline and you can’t help…

  • The Papered Parlour presents: It’s Your Write!

    I went to the writing event last night which turned out to be a silly amount of fun. It actually wasn’t a writing event at all; more a creative gathering of minds, so-to-speak. It was called ‘It’s Your Write!’ and run by The Papered Parlour. Alongside live screen-printing (supply your own slogan, they’ll do the…

  • What’s Vijai wearing today?

    Meet Vijai. He’s the Eco Office’s planner who’s just as flamboyant as his clothes are. From now on, we’ll share his outfit with you daily…stay tuned!

  • A lesson on the classics

    On a dark Sunday night in the deepest depths of suburban London, something completely untowards occurred—Soldiersailor, for a good couple of hours, swapped techno for classical music. You heard it here first! I’m a little red-faced to say that it was the This Is England television series that brought the phenomenal Nightbook, by Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi,…

  • Plug in and go: how to write like a hippy on speed

    It’s been rather crazy in both the Eco Office and at home of late so to make sure everything gets done by its deadline, I’ve been using my usual trick of plugging myself into my earphones and typing like a hippy on speed. Along the way I’ve made a few discoveries that are simply too…

  • Oscar’s Wild day out

    Here at the eco office we’ve been inundated of late by our US counterparts visiting us from across the pond. However, as lovely as each of our guests have been, they’ve all had their thunder tremendously stolen  by the lovable little pug Oscar. Thanks to dad Alex, Oscar now has an array of groupies in the form of the Anthro EU…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Holiday Songs

    Seems this week The Fashion Office team are down on numbers so with only three of us lovely ladies selecting our tracks, we’ve chosen Holiday Songs. Might as well dream of escaping if everyone else has huh?  It’s officially Summer too (and raining, of course) so here’s what we’ve picked to get us into the…

  • Music makes the world go round – week 2

    Not to be confused with the recently launched ‘The Fashion Office Recommends’ feature (available each Friday), this is week two of soldiersailor’s top weekly tracks.  All fantastic five of them. Get to it  – do your ears a favour and banish the Tuesday blues with this week’s top 5: 1. De’Lacy – Hideaway 2. Ben Watt – Lone Cat (Justin…

  • From the horses mouth; top tips on credit crunch interviewing

    I’ve recently been lucky enough to become a victim of the credit crunch and found myself back in the interviewee’s seat.    Having had a couple of interviews, it would appear (as expected during economical decline) companies are experiencing a sea of candidates for few roles and are using it to their advantage.  Wouldn’t you? …
