Brought to you by local lads BOSS Night, RUBIX is back with aplomb. This is the third RUBIX event BOSS Night have put on and it's their biggest one yet. Previously RUBIX brought you Marc Fanculli to a full Haus. This time high profile headliner Sébastien Léger comes to Liverpool. Léger has a collection of worldwide devootes to his work in the Underground Tech scene. 

Despite originating from the French Filter House which saw the likes of Daft Punk, Laurent Garnier and Etienne De Crecy flourish. Léger's main inspiration came across the pond, featuring sounds your more likely to hear in Detroit and Chicago dance scenes. 

BOSS Night's Tom Ledson tells us, "This is a massive coup not only for us, but for Liverpool. DJs such as Seb command arena crowds that draw tens of thousands of people to listen to this man play from Germany to Japan, the UK to Ibiza, and the US to Asia. His worldwide reputation precedes him because this guy has been at the forefront of modern dance music, taking his music to wherever dance culture shines brightest. This event is going to be something special, something intimate, something that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who believes in good music.”

Joining Léger on BOSS Night's biggest night yet is RUBIX residents Lee Charnock, hot prospect Kydus, Chris McGee & Phil Fearon. 

We'll be there and we can't wait. Don't miss out on Liverpool's biggest night of the year to date.

After bringing together our group of highly talented contributors and several weeks of long hard work, we are pleased to bring to you the third issue of the Weavers Door Journal. Our latest and, dare we say it, greatest issue see's us welcome some new contributors including photographers Jonathan Cox, Michael Gannon and Ged Sullivan, alongside the return of some creative talents such as Mina Bihi and Oliver Smith.

 

 

 

 

The third issue see's us collaborate with menswear online bloggers 'The Decorum', interview Liverpool photographer Mark McNulty, Thom Barnett of Mamnick and watchmakers Oli Fowles and Patrick Bek of Uniform Wares. We are always keen to offer insight into some of the great independent places the Weavers Door team often visit, be it for food/drink, art/culture or nightlife. This issue see's us visit Salt Dog Slims, a 'steins and brines' bar just on Seel St, and in conjunction with them celebrating their 1st birthday we have produced our very own hotdog, 'The Weavers Dog', available for a limited time in collaboration with the Journal's release, it's a messy must try. Also, journal contributor Jordan Taylor Jones visits the Clovehitch on Hope St for a beer tasting session with the nice folk behind the Liverpool Craft Beer brewery.

 

On the photography front, we're privileged to present features such as 'Twisted Vines' by Mina Bihi, 'Another Place' by Michael Gannon and 'The Docks' by Jonathan Cox. Alongside styling by the Weavers Door team our photographers take on journeys to some amazing locations in and around Liverpool to showcase our Spring/Summer collection including Norse Projects, Folk, Our Legacy, Barbour, Grenson and many more. We retained our unbeaten streak in our football match against The Beautiful North, though it didn't go without consequences, safe to say there was some sore, achy bodies the day after.

 

Editorial's 'Mirror Mirror on the Wall' Neil Young by Tim Keating and the history of the T-Shirt by myself see's a flick through full of editorial features accompanied by various photography styles. It's this balanced mix of contribution we are always proud to present in every issue of the Journal, composed through the labour of love, with like minded creative individuals who support what we do and for that we thank everyone for their help, skills and passion.

 

We hope you enjoy reading the third issue of the Weavers Door Journal.

Anyone familiar with the store will recognise our iconic wallpaper made up of musicians that we love. Following on from our love of all good music, we bring you a new feature the 'Weavers Door Playlist'.

The Weavers Door Playlist is a new feature in which members of the store team, and our good friends from around the country, will put together their own playlists and have them posted on Mixcloud for the whole world to listen.

Showing his love for all things Hip Hop, Will has picked a number of fantastic tracks ranging from the classic sounds of Wu Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah to the neuvo Hip Hop themes of MF DOOM. As a big fan of EDM and Instrumentals, Will has also included a number of brilliant tracks from artists around the world, including Japan's Nujabes - an artist heralded as one of the most influential producers of recent years. As well as tracks from the likes of Shlohmo, Tokimonsta and Nosaj Thing. Including the incredible collaboration, entitled 'Try', that Nosaj Thing did with Toro Y Moi on his latest album 'Home'.

Next month sees the release of the much anticipated Almighty Sion EP - 'The Beat Generation'.

For those of you unfamiliar with Almighty Sion; it is a duo made up of Weavers Door regulars Bolts (Luke Bolton) and fellow beatmaker SetrtOne (Bosco McAlinden). Their upcoming EP is going to be released on Original Cultures, a UK based non-profit record label which has already housed a number of brilliant releases from the likes of Daisuke Tanabe and Lewis James.

With both artists drawing significant influence from the ever-growing 'beat scene'; it is safe to say that 'The Beat Generation' should be a fantastic release.

This weekend sees the boys from Madnice Marauders return for the second half of their birthday. After a number of fantastic parties this year Madnice have really outdone themselves this time. After bringing a huge number of British rappers and West Coast beatmakers to the sunny shore of Liverpool. Madnice have shown their exquisite taste in Hip Hop once again and booked Maseo - one third of the famous rap trio De La Soul.

De La Soul were one of the most prominent rap groups of the 90's, and are an absolute favourite here at Weavers Door. With their distinct style and unrivaled quality it is easy to see why De La Soul are widely renowned as one of the most influential rap groups of recent years.

So to be sure of your place in the crowd head up to RAN on Bold Street, Lost Art on Slater Street or head over to Skiddle and pick up your ticket as this one is definitely going to be a sell out, and is bound to be one of the best nights Liverpool has ever beared witness to!

For those of you feeling a little bit lucky why not check out Madnice's Facebook and Twitter for the chance to win a guestlist spot for you and a friend.

Birthdays tend to come around fast, but not many like this one. Madnice is 1 and it certainly doesn't feel like a year since it first kicked off. The brain child of friends of the store Macca, Paddy and a tight-knit group of hip-hop savvy individuals, Liverpool hasn't seen anything like it for years. DJs have flocked from all over the globe for the event so be sure not to miss it. 

February 1 2013, Tickets available from; Lost Art, Ran Shop & www.skiddle.com

Yesterday, a monumental step towards justice for the victims of the HIllsborough Disaster took place at the High Court where the original inquest veridicts were quashed. So regardless whether you are a red, blue, football fan or not, do your bit this week and buy The Justice Collective’s Hillsborough Disaster single. Your support contributes to towards helping to raise money to help the families below up and coming legal battles and also keeping the issue in the public eye.


The single features a range of well recognised past and current pop stars including store favourites John Power (The La’s), Paul Heaton (The Housemartins/Beautiful South), Dave McCabe (The Zutons) and long serving Hillsborough campaigner and one of the organisers behind the single, Peter Hooton (The Farm).

The aim is the No. 1 spot in the single charts this coming weekend, going against this years X-Factor winner, if you ever did need any extra incentives to buy the single.



Once you’ve bought one, then buy another, ideal stocking fillers and you'll be adding more towards the cause. You can purchase the single from expected retailers such as HMV in Liverpool One, and also download it using the links at the bottom of this post. 

Buy the single, spread the word, and lets continue the superb work together done already, for the fight for justice.
