Black Scale – CVNVDV

0
0

We stumbled upon this really nice photo shoot by our friend Paul Labonté featuring the half-French half-Madagascarian beauty Coco Baudelle for Black Scale - CVNVDV edition. Black Scale is a USA based streetwear brand operating from San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles, that defines itself by a strong creative lead and balanced aesthetic. We thought it was really cool that the brand turned out to some Montreal makers and shakers to unveil their CVNVDV collection, and according to the pictures below, they did great!

You can shop the collection online HERE

FOOD TRUCK : LANDRY & FILLES

Finally! Food Trucks are taking the Montreal streets by storm this year! For the occasion, we thought we’d post one Food Truck per week on the blog! Stay tuned for your weekly updates on our delicious finds all around the city!

Third Stop : Landry & Filles. This “Snack Bar” was full of delicious surprises, serving some Canadian traditional meals but with a twist. We tried their New Brunswick inspired pancake called “Ploye”, which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served with Matane shrimps, spicy mayonnaise, and lettuce. It was a delight! They also make a super refreshing strawberry lemonade, perfect for a sunny day!

Eat/Drink : Kem Coba Ice Cream

0
0

Let’s admit it : Summers only exist to make us crave Ice Cream… or almost! This refreshing, cold, sweet, and melting delight has this magical power that can turn a bad day into a wonderful day in just seconds. This is why we highly recommend you to try Kem Coba, a small but delicious Ice Cream shop opened by a nice franco-asian couple. Here are a few reasons why you should reach Kem Coba rather than your usual joint : they change their flavours every week, they make a special “Ice Cream of the Day” mixed up of two flavours, Ice cream and creativity are one with very original flavours like Masala Tchaï, Peanut Butter, Passion Fruit Sorbet, Coconut, etc., and it is rumoured that Jay-Z and Beyoncé tried it during a small trip to Montreal.

Not enough to convince you? The owners, Vincent & Ngoc,  are also super nice and the prices are very affordable.

Kem Coba - 60, Fairmount W. (Corner Clark). Cash Only.

Here’s to you, some great after party and club vibes with a selection of underground house tracks by amazing upcoming artists and labels including Ninetoes, Stefano Ritteri, Robosonic, Manaré, Guti, Congaloid, and more.

Easy Sundays – Tommy Kruise For Dime

Easy Sundays, our dedicated day to music and sounds. Everything you need to keep the good vibes going and the soul grooving.

On this beautiful Sunday we are sharing a new mix made by Montreal’s own famous DJ Tommy Kruise. “Porn for the blind” mix is a collaboration between Tommy and Dimea skate crew gathering members mostly from Montreal. Since 2009 they have gradually built a brand with their skate films and their recent t-shirts and caps collection. You should definitely keep an eye on them, and don’t get fooled by their motto “Dime Ruined my Life”!

The mix almost gets you in an hypnotizing mood, with some slowed songs and constant beats. Its a dark mix but don’t worry, it’ll just make you want to puff & sip!

Have a great Sunday
