In questa puntata di Contaminazioni parliamo con Mattia Zoppellaro, fotografo che ha documentato la scena dei free party e dei rave tra Italia ed Europa. Dal liceo di provincia ai capannoni nel fango, Zoppellaro racconta cosa succedeva davvero dentro quei rituali collettivi: trance, alienazione, comunità, resistenza. Ma parliamo anche della “divisa” del rave: come l'abbigliamento sportivo (Air Max, tute, loghi) sia diventato tecnologia per ballare ore e ore, e insieme simbolo di uguaglianza e contraddizione in un contesto dichiaratamente anticapitalista. Infine, uno sguardo sull'eredità: quando quell'estetica è stata assorbita dalla moda di lusso e quando, nel mirino, si è capito che l'autenticità stava finendo.

En este episodio, Jorge Diego conversa con Lios y Mac de Pālida Studios desde su estudio en Neza, CDMX, para entender cómo se construye una marca creativa que nace del barrio, la calle y la comunidad, y cómo esa energía se traduce a una colaboración con Nike alrededor del Air Max 95. Hablamos de su origen entre graffiti, dibujo, rap, paca y proyectos autogestionados; del momento en que el trabajo deja de ser solo activación y se vuelve estructura; y de lo que significa mantener la esencia cuando una plataforma internacional te presta el micrófono. Desde el “estado flujo” como narrativa hasta la exploración de materialidades tácticas para habitar la ciudad, Pālida comparte su proceso, sus aprendizajes —sobre todo no desconectarse de quién eres— y por qué su proyecto se entiende mejor como una red de relaciones humanas que como una etiqueta de “moda urbana”.Escucha este episodio si estás…• Armando una marca/proyecto creativo desde tu contexto y quieres mantenerlo auténtico.• Buscando cómo crear comunidad antes que “estructura perfecta”.• Interesadx en streetwear, upcycling, procesos DIY y construcción de prendas.• Curiosx por cómo se negocia identidad creativa al colaborar con una marca global.• Trabajando con narrativa, materialidad y función: ropa táctica para la ciudad.Show Notes y Links relacionados a este episodioObjeto favorito• Lios: libros de diseño.• Mac: sus audífonos.Recomendación• Lios: documental “Everythyng is a Remix” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7-DlOaCsjU + libro “El acto de Crear” de Rick Rubin https://www.amazon.com.mx/El-acto-crear-Rick-Rubin/dp/6073909004• Mac: “Un Cuerpo Sin Órganos” de Guattari y Deleuze https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_without_organsConsejo• Lios: Dejar de pensar como otras generaciones anteriores, y como humanos sensibilizarnos y conectar un poco más en colectivo.• Mac: La autenticidad, ser muy fiel a tus ideales, y hacer comunidad.Pālida Studios → [https://palida-studios.com/](https://palida-studios.com/)Sigue a Pālida Studios en Instagram → [https://www.instagram.com/palida_studios/](https://www.instagram.com/palida_studios/)• Faro de Oriente → [https://farooriente.org.mx/](https://farooriente.org.mx/)• La Esmeralda → [https://www.esmeralda.edu.mx/](https://www.esmeralda.edu.mx/)• Centro de Cultura Digital → [https://www.centroculturadigital.mx/](https://www.centroculturadigital.mx/)• Nike x Pálida → colaboración en cápsula con Air Max 95 [https://www.instagram.com/p/DVAOCkaE0uO/](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVAOCkaE0uO/)No te pierdas nuestros episodios, publicamos todos los Martes.Síguenos en: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/designaholic.mxFacebook https://www.facebook.com/designaholicmx/X https://x.com/designaholicmxSuscríbete a nuestro newsletter semanal “Las 5 de la Semana” aquí: https://embeds.beehiiv.com/b98191c1-e91e-4e8c-bf49-e4ff0603f851Nuestra página web es: http://designaholic.mxTambién te dejo mi cuenta personal donde además de publicar sobre mi estudio y los proyectos que hacemos, comparto mucho más sobre Arte, Arquitectura y Diseño.

Welcome to Sound Clash – Episode 4: Jungle Sound Clash– where the bass is heavy, the riddims are rapid, and the energy is pure fire. "This time, we're diving headfirst into the golden era of 90s Jungle – the sound that took UK underground by storm, blending dancehall, dub, and breakbeats into something raw, rebellious, and revolutionary." With guest clasher - DJ Industrial Complex, we're delivering heavyweight anthems, classic MCs, and iconic producers that shaped the sound. This is a tribute to the junglist foundations – fast cuts, rewind culture, and sound system pressure." So pull up your hoodie, lace up your Air Max, and get ready to wind it up!

Happy 30th anniversary to Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Links as his debut solo project featuring Ghostface Killah as his co-star of this incredible album that feels like a feature mafia movie. We will revisit the album and its early beginnings and its place in Wu Tang Clan and hip hop lore. Even the South Beach Jacket and the Air Max 95 Neon are looked at as 90's fashion iconic pieces in part to Raekwon wearing them in videos. Truly a culture changing record.
In this episode, I talk about if the Tom Sachs Mars Yard 3.0 in-app challenge release was made exclusively for the unemployed.

Finally I talk about some recent sneaker content creator blues, and if you've been providing enough value for the brands lately (no, you have not, straighten up will ya).

We also pick a movie to characterize the intersection of the day.Air Max 1s are iconic and we believe Norda 001s have the same potential to be unchanged for decades to come.
