What is the Dim Mak Collection fashion label inspired by?
SA: When I started the Dim Mak Collection two years ago I really wanted to base it around the whole dinosaur theme. There are a couple of designers in Japan who are my favourites and fortunately they’ve taken me under their wing. Nobu from Hysteric Glamour, Hiroshi Fujiwara – the godfather of Japanese fashion – and then I met Nigo from A Bathing Ape. His house is like a museum. He has a Prada room, the second largest collection of Star Wars toys in the world and the biggest collection of Planet Of The Apes. That initial Dino hoodie was inspired by Nigo. DD: What is the longest stretch of dates you’ve DJ back to back? SA: I don’t know but last year I flew over 300 flights. This year, I swear on average I’ve flown five flights a week. It’s hard when you get sick – I got sick at Miami WMC and I finally had to cancel my first ever gig. Pillowface And His Airplane Chronicles featuring Justice, Riton, Kid Sister and Pase Rock is out now on Dim Mak.
