Araminta de Clermont is a British born photographer currently living in Cape Town.
Her work explores rites of passage, and the visual currencies of group identification and formation such as gang structures.
The first exhibition she did back in 2006, called Life After was based on Cape Town notorious prison gang, The Numbers Gang and their hardcore tatoo culture...
Here are some of her amazing pictures, just beautiful.
Here is the latest TROPICALIZER mix, specially made by man good friend O.T aka The Lawyer.
When I decided to start the TROPICALIZER mixes serie, my idea was to give you a different choice of mixes made by me of course, but the main purpose was to give the opportunity to my friends to share their music and their vibes with you trough these mixes.
So it's with great pleasure that I asked O.T to be my first guest... He is a real specialist of UK's most underground type of music. From hardcore 4X4 to the deepest bassline wobblers passing trough Funky House, you will travel in the foggy suburbs of Manchester listening to his mixes.
For this second edition of the TROPICLAIZER nights, it's with great pleasure that the Loft
Café welcomes CAMEL, young Italian producer active on MOWGLI'S label DeadFish along our favorite Oberland crew, the Round Table Knights.
Blending multiple rhythms of distant horizons with his Tech-House sounds, CAMEL is now spreading his name in the scene and it's no surprise to find many of his productions in Brodinski or Riva
Starr Sets, just to mentioned a few.
To tell you the truth, I'm really looking forward to play with CAMEL and you should all come to party with us for this special event.
TROPICALIZER II, March 12, Loft Café, Lausanne
Doors: 23h00 - Free Entry

There is an Jamaican artist I've always respected, he has a killer flow, mad lyrics, he is always bringing new vibes to the Dancehall scene and goes by the name of BUSY SIGNAL.
He had is first success with the single STEP OUT on the Slingshot Riddim back in 2005 (for the little strory, we were the first Swiss Sound System to play it on Dubplate).
Since then he has been very productive, giving us big hits after big hits, working with the best Deejays and producer from Jamaica.
Not so long ago he voiced a track called DA STYLE DEH, which was remixed by DOUSTER and more, most recently he has been working with M.I.A and Major Lazer and just released this cool track called JAFRICAN THING, new remix coming soon?
Like every good House DJ/Producer, RIVA STARR is Italian but actually based in London...
