Leather vs Vegan Leather Through our many conversations with founders and experts within the sustainable fashion space, we have learnt that it is not only a complicated subject, but a very nuanced one. In Episode 3 of this series, we spoke to Ioanna from Mashu, about her vegan bag label, based in London. She told us about the exciting innovations in the plant based fake leather industry. This week we’re exploring the other side of sustainable handbag manufacturing and are joined by Nika Diamond-Krendel, Founder of leather brand Paradise Row. Join us as we explore how a leather brand could be conscious and whether it can also be eco friendly. Socially ResponsibilitySo what does conscious leather production look like? 90% of the worlds leather output is chrome tanned. Nika explains more about the harmful process later, and we also talk about her preferred and more environmentally safe option, vegetable tanning. However a large part of what Paradise Row does is tell stories. Nika founded the company to address the death of artisan leather manufacturing in East London and in doing so, discovered a lot of other proud traditions that could soon be lost. Through her designs, she explores what makes East London what it is today and gives back through various social impact projects. The conversation around real vs vegan leather isn’t as simple as it first seems. With most aspects of sustainability, we're discovering that an individuals'  personal ethics play a huge role in how you decide to take part. Thank you to our inimitable guest Nika Diamond-Krendel, Founder of Paradise RowAlso thank you to Florence van der SpekMentioned In The EpisodeA Guide To Organic CertificationsThe Truth About Vegan Leather Please Support The Vendeur & Join Our CommunityInstagramFacebookPinterestSeries Credits Host Lucy KebbellTheme created by Joe Murgatroyd

Following 7 years working in buying and merchandising roles at three of the biggest names in British luxury fashion; Mulberry, Matchesfashion.com, and Anya Hindmarch, Bethany Rowntree has taken the jump and gone solo, launching Studio B just 6 weeks ago (at the time we recorded our podcast). Statement not basic, this is certainly a phrase that can be used to describe Beth’s taste and way of doing things, yet she doesn’t shout, she shines. The brands Studio B showcases are unique, beautifully made and support local makers and economies such as made in London contemporary accessories label Paradise Row who we spoke to founder Nika Mokhtassi in episode 7. Beth’s approach to business and brand selection comes across as extremely relaxed, fun and instinctive. Yet behind the bold prints, colours and her wonderful smile is someone who has worked hard at understanding the business of fashion, working her way up from intern to business owner. Fellow Northerner Beth and I had a lot of fun discussing; her journey from Darlington and university in Manchester to her previous roles and how they have influenced her vision for Studio B,  her bold taste, love of independent fashion brands and her go to Christmas outfit, all available from studio b of course! www.studiobfashion.comwww.blackneondigital.com

Take Me to a Higher Ground…   !!!! Warning: some expletives and drug references !!!   Set could have been called “15 Shades of House” or “What is House without Big Piano Keys?” But I thought I shouldn’t pass on the opportunity to give Blonde and Grant Nelson a some exposure..   14 good tracks … 13 from the last quarter of 2014.. Proud of that!   In the past few months, I have been utterly bored with Soulful and, to a certain extent, with with any non-progressive house. "Take Me to a Higher Ground" reunites me with the genre..   What changed my mind?   -  Mixing it up between true soulful gems and edgier tunes with some rasp built-in gave depth and colours to my set.   - Inviting House royalty to the party did help! Grant Nelson, Richard Earnshaw, Sandy Rivera, Kings of Tomorrow, Spiritchaser, Eric Kupper and Miguel Migs.. Need I say more?   - Finally finding great, very recent tracks! “Higher Ground”, “Need 2 Know”, “Bang, Bang” and “Special”… The latter 3 released in the last fortnight and all of them in my 2014 House top five..   The pleasure to discover new tracks, associated to the relief of not having to include old ones, rekindled my interest.   There you have it.. A very decent House set to listen to! I promise it will grow on you. Playlist: 1969 Intro Apollo 11 Counrdown. NASA Soundcloud Page 2014 Higher Ground (Taft_Purple Disco Machine vs Taft Remix.) [Xtian Daft Disco Edit feat. Erick Decks]. Blonde feat. Charli Taft 2014 Higher Ground (Grant Nelson Remix). Blonde feat. Charli Taft 2014 Need 2 Know (Richard Earnshaw Remix). State Unknown feat.

Terri Walker 2014 Kissin  Huggin Pt 2_(Jay Vegas Remix) [Xtian My Naughty Way Edit feat. Phil Weeks). Boy Orlando 2014 Let It Play (Original Mix). Miguel Migs feat. Martin Luther   Highlights:   “Higher Ground”:  I first heard the track on Grant Nelson’s housecall.  Grant had done a private edit of the Blonde’s tunes, it was clear it had anthem potential. You get a mash on my 3 favourite remixes. I am sure more will come, too much potential for other producers not to have a go. Big keys, heavy bass and an outstanding melody line.   “Need 2 Know” from Richard Earnshaw, heard it first unreleased on Jask’s ThaiSoul podcast on MixCloud.. Immediate love. Earnshaw is one of the top five house producers and never, never disappoints. As to the vocalist, Cassandra London, absolute respect. Production is immaculate.   “Bang, Bang”: Sandy Rivera, April and the KOT outfit.. Sandy and April, not sure who is the muse of the other, but very much like the previous track, this tune is intricate and goes way beyond the melody line.. I needed a wider appeal than a purely melodic one to regain interest in Soulful House.. Grant Nelson, Richard Earnshaw and Sandy Rivera just provided it.. As for April, what a vocalist! Listen every word is expressed not just sung.   “Don't Look Any Further”: old tune, new take.. My wife was cringing a bit with the tenor sax.. I had to tell her that the sugary, well-know tune needed the edge.  The sax solo is not too long and without it.. It would just be another cover of a classic..   “Special” from Billon feat Maxine Ashley.. I discovered the track on Housecall # 120.. Must have been a private edit because the track was only released on the 7th of November.. I waited all that time for I wanted to use a legal cut and check out the different remixes.. So catchy! And the CamelPhat remix is perfect.. I could not resist to fuse in Grant Nelson’s edit but left the Housecall jingle to acknowledge the source. I believe I did a decent job of fusing both version.. and yes this tune is F@ckin’ Special!!!   With “Secret” we delve back into classic but recent soulful house. A track, which I think is more for the dancefloor than just podcasting.    Jumping quickly straight into a bit of U-ness and Jedset with their Mandela’s tribute to steer the set back to true soulful   “Paradise Row” from Spiritchaser.. The only relatively old tune of the set ( 2012), an old time favourite of mine and I felt I deserved dropping a classic by that time. I have to mention the vocalist, Emily Cooke, full respect!   “High Enough” , new take on an old classic.. Inaki Garcia, whom I have played a lot of tracks, gives the tuen an edge it needed to make it relevant.   “My Feelin’” from AM2PM. I discovered AM2PM on Housecall recently with a mini mix they did. It blew me away. AM2PM is a collaboration unit where the amazing singer adlib on instrumental tracks, this is House at its absolute finest.. Do to miss and go to their soundcloud page to hear how creative and amazing they sound.   “Missing You” Kupper’s Director’s Cut of the Frankie Knuckles classic..  The track would not have made the playlist if it had not been for all the rest.. This is what I mean by being bored with Soulful.. As it is and by the time it dropped, I felt it was perfectly suited to play it.. It is really all about mixing it up…   Kissin’ and Huggin’… Old househeads will immediately recognize Peter Heller’s Big Love, Boy Orlando inspiringly twisted it to Kissin’ to Huggin and Xtian had to play around with the Phill Weeks sample to had the personal naughty touch.   Last track “Let the Music Play”.. fitting ending and loving the swag, the production, the “now” feel.   Just by the length of the highlights you can see I like this set.. Give it a fair go, this is a little journey into the various colours ( hence the 15 shades) of current melodic House Music.   It will grow on you.   Next up could be another soulful though most probably will return to progressive before embarking into TranceMission Episode 03   A bientôt   Xtian

   Deep Aural Dope   In the midst of selecting funky banging tunes to get the structure of a NYD set, I urgently felt the need for something more intimate.. This episode is light and this episode is Dee. it is sugar with a pinch of pepper, chocolate with a dash of chili.. I know I will soon take Aural Dope on the plane and enjoy it alongside other deep and soulful podcasts I want to have some alone time to savour. Suited for our down-under summer, I hope I achieved to make it soulful with a resolute Deep tinge. A word on the number 73... In the words of Sheldom Cooper from TBBT: "73 is the 21st prime number, it's mirror 37 is the 12th and it's mirror 21 is the product of multiplying, hang on to your hats...7 and 3. In binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001, which backwards is 1001001." Playlist: Intro Da House Head - Deep (Accapella). A.B.O.H. feat..

You KNOW it is going to be good!  I love each and everyone of those tracks. Immaculate production, all deep yet soulful. I neither want nor can choose.. Check the rework of "Paradise Row". The Tortured Soul and Random Soul jams are precious, both Edmund's tracks are gems... Really, this is high quality house music, I just hope the mixing is up to the task.. Enjoy In case I do not post anything until New Year I wish you all an absolute banger!
