Porter Yoshida, Laurent Garnier and randomness
When shopping in Tokyo over the New Year sale period, we came across some Porter wallets and bags on sale. Remembering the Porter shop that had opened in Wisma and the crazy prices for their products, we wanted to get some of the stuff. But at the same time, we were not entirely sure which Porter we were buying. No, we were not looking for those found in Wisma. We were looking for Porter (Yoshida) not Porter International.
In 1989, a Taiwanese firm by the name Gallant Company obtained a written agreement from Yoshida Company to be registered to operate Porter and its related trademark outside Japan. Hence Porter International originates from Yoshida Company, Japan. The international version created under the Yoshida Company, was launched as an international brand in 2001. Two companies respectively develop their own brand, one does not relate to the other.
Last night met yf and fsr at the Laurent Garnier set. Fantastic night. Met lots of former colleagues (steve, edward) and present fellow wharf occupant (xiaowan) amongst others. Former Session-ist, Leon was there too. Yf was talking about Porter bags and stuff. So yeah, wanted to share this nugget of information with all about Porter.
Back to Garnier. When he started he was doing some techy, glitchy housey thing having to pick up where DJb had left off. He probably went through all genres of house and techno and when fsr and I returned from the winebar at 4am, he was doing drum and bass, whipping out a wicked mix of These Boots Are Made For Walkin'. By then I was super tired and had to leave. I bet there is nothing Garnier can't mix. Give him the teletubby theme song and akufen's deck the house, he can probably contort them together and still manage to put some breakbeats in there. But....having so many alliance francaise smell house in the main room....was off-putting. Hahaha....ok, silly joke. Not all who smell were french. I didn't start this "french people don't shower" thing. Read here: link.
Was offered $3000 to do something ridiculously obscene. I'm not shameless. Yet. hahaha.
Jados is in da house!
