THE DEEPREAL ISSUE — GLAMCULT #143 STARRING EARL SWEATSHIRT

Exactly 2 years ago, @asics_sportstyle joined forces with Glamcult Studio to reimagine the GEL-QUANTUM 360 VIII through a custom design intervention and an audiovisual media campaign.

Building on ASICS’ legacy of innovation, Glamcult introduced a front-facing pocket construction, wrapped in its signature tape print—an ongoing exploration of logomania as both critique and visual language.

Extending beyond the product, the collaboration unfolded through a videoclip featuring Amsterdam-based artist Mariposa (@dondestamariposa) The film navigates the tension between dream, reality, and obsession.

This collaboration merged ASICS’ technical precision, Glamcult’s visual universe, and Mariposa’s sonic output.

There’s nothing like the release of an exhilarating new single that ALSO comes with a music video just as excellent. The magnetic @daniela_lalita just dropped her single ‘Tiroteo’ featuring @the_mura_masa, which provides us with exactly that satisfaction.

Produced by Peruvian goddess Lalita herself with UK powerhouse Mura Masa, the track is a fast-paced, haunting yet rhythmic pulse summoning the experimental edge. Visually, Lalita opens up a black and white world akin to the most cinematic stills you’d find on your Tumblr dashboard, tbh. And we can’t discuss the beauty of the shots — or its cast — without mentioning the work of @itsrobbiesworld_ for the hypnotising choreo (if finding a ranch means we can follow Lalita’s moves, then so be it).

Not only is the song on repeat, but the video deserves the same treatment too.

A discography only proves itself when it can survive the room, moving beyond simple translation and generating a distinct atmosphere you can feel settling around you. At @rewirefestival, Purelink conjured a thick, low-hanging cloud that moved tangibly through the crowd.

The NYC-based trio, Ben Paulson, Tommy Paslaski, and Akeem Asani, are known for a sound that spills over into different crevices of ambient, trickling into dub or IDM territories. It’s unmistakably digital, that soft haze intact, but threaded with faint, almost worn-down traces of acoustic structures. Live, the compositions loosen and start to glow differently — dubbed-out and echoed, into a neo-classical, drone-driven mist. It becomes this ambient rainforest: humid, overgrown, everything feeding into everything else. You don’t really know which sound comes from where, or who’s responsible for what.

At the core of Purelink is a deep friendship and trust — something that both enables and emerges from working in the same file for an inconceivable amount of hours. It makes them very fun to talk to, too.
Catching up the day after their show, we spend a bright, unhurried afternoon in The Hague talking about process, Midwestern roots, and a shared affection for cinema (particularly the bad kind).

Stop what you’re doing, we have a secret to tell you: We will be launching Glamcult TV Live Sessions at techno icon @dkmntl’s younger, whimsical electro cousin @lentekabinet. This will take the shape of a pop-up rave at a secret strip club, and it’s the announcement we’ve been dying to share.

Think: @glamcult_tv as you know it, but with the presence of a crowd. The acts we’ll be featuring, you ask? Mystery must remain a little longer. But here are the essentials for now: We’ll host the closing stage each day of the weekend from 10–12 pm, a.k.a the perfect way to end your night on a dewy dancefloor. And for our audience unable to make the weekend, Sunday’s set will be kindly recorded, marking our first edition of Glamcult TV Live Sessions.

Lentekabinet will take place on May 23 and 24, at Het Twiske.

More on our must-sees later. See you there!

Club night @burstxcity continues to move in the cracks of nightlife, carving space for those who never quite find themselves reflected on the dancefloor.

For its founders, Mila V and Parrish Smith, the absence was clear: a space where curation reflects a more honest, less commercialised reading of what a night out can be. Burst City responds to that gap, staying close to its community while orbiting the intersection of local underground and international club culture.

Expect a night of first encounters. From underground household names like @melaniehavenss, who bends her signature darkness into new forms, to Volition Immanent (@knekelhuis_) presenting unheard material from their upcoming LP. A mystery set emerges from @daveclarkeofficial, pushing the night further into the unknown.

For those slightly out of place, this is exactly where you need to be.

Burst City is taking place this Saturday, May 2 @garagenoord
