DJ Sneaks #1

This is the first in a series of mixes we want to keep rolling on here as regular as possible.
"DJ Sneaks" will feature mixes from some of our favorite DJs as well as a bit about their kicks of the moment. Why? Because i like Kicks and i like mixes.

To open up the series we have a fresh mix from Playdoh resident and writer DJ Huakai. As expected from Huakai this mix is an exceptionally tight well though out selection with a number of subtle gems in there. Perfect warming vibes to get you in the mood for a Friday night.



Huakai's Kicks - A nice pair of semi well worn but well looked after Adidas Forum OT-Tech mids here (excuse the grimy 93 feet East back room floorage as the back drop).

The original Forums, one of Adidas's most popular basketball shoes were first released in 1984 and were apparently Adidas's first shoe to be produced in a high , low and mid version. Check out C.L. Smooth on the sleeve of "They Reminisce Over You" for their Hip Hop credentials.

This version The OT-Tech were part of the Adidas originals collection and were released in late Summer 2010 and purchased by Mr Huakai in one of the London Size? stores. Inspired by the classic saw-tooth three stripes, these kicks are pretty smooth. Liking the colour scheme too although Huakai says he's not sure he'll go for a cream or white sneaker again due to the state of club floors in London these days. He also states that although he's more of an Air Max kind of guy he will always be a big fan of all Adidas high tops for their durability and classic looks. This pair get an 8 out of 10 from him.

Any way. Make sure you get a listen to his latest mix effort on the Soundcloud player below, definitely worth the download as well. I've also cracked in the video to Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth's "They Reminisce Over You" below as i've just remembered what a massive tune it is. Another one that's got me wishing summer would hurry up again.
