Welcome back to W.A.C.C this being volume 5 of our journal here on Cartel's blog.
We still have a few snaps left from the roll we shot on our travels around Nishi-Azabu, and this particular snap captures one of the most iconic buildings in the area, called the 'Wall':
You can be sure we'll be making more use of this place in the near future!
From it's inception W.A.C.C was always going attract like-minded people, and it seems the people who have been capturing on film wearing our 'Always Maintain' tee have been just that, like Watarude:

This one below is mine btw:
I've only been with this bike a few months and we are already making some pretty interesting memories together...

The second tune on the record is 'In & Out' and is definitely a dancefloor heater, a few weeks back I heard it being dropped by the likes of Mark E at Vent, and the tune definitely gets plays at both Funktion and Water Works... my only real question is which version of 'Nights Over Egypt' did he sample?
Hmmm
On the subject of Apron, Greg Beato was recently in London and stopped by NTS (twice), I take my techno and obscure music in doses and ALWAYS select the correct DJ to administer it:
We'll be back next week to provide you more insights and food for thought and maybe with an answer to my Egyptian mystery?
