State Awards 2011

Last night the State Awards 2011 took place at Nieuwe Oogst in Rotterdam. The crew rolled out to attend the annual award show and also to present the award in the “Best Mixtape”-category and see some performances. Some of the highlights included Zwart Licht and the Experience band, holding it down as always, KV bringing out Dutch folk singer Willeke Alberti, and a brief performance by Phife Dawg, though the generation gap didn’t really agree. Furthermore, our boy FS Green snatched up his second “Best DJ”-award to add to his collection, psyched!

Here’s a complete list of the winners:
Best Artist: Kleine Viezerik
Best Album: De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig – De Lachende Derde
Best Single: Sef – De Leven
Best Video: Mr. Polska – Gustav
Best Mixtape: Fakkelteitgroep – FTG3
Best Group: Nouveau Richie
Best Producer: Boyz v/d Beatz
Best DJ: FS Green
Best Live Act: Zwart Licht (XL)
Rookie of the Year: Mocro Maniac

Thank you State Magazine for having us and congratulations to all!

PxK Contest Winner

First and foremost thank you to all those who took time out to submit their entries, we hope you had a fun time with this assignment as much as we did checking and selecting them. We have received quite some images, ranging from hilarious to spectacular. Only one can win though, and we have picked the winner based on criteria such as creativity, relevancy to the topic and overall impression.

And the winner is…

“Lighter”
by Hampus Lideborg
Clearly there’s has been quite some effort put into this by Hampus, the entire logo is made up of lighter images. Yet the outcome is simple, clean and creative, just the way we like it! A unanimous decision, thus he gets to pick a pair of Patta x KangaROOS PxK of choice, congrats!

Runner ups:

“Piece”
by Anneclaire van Not
Another creative effort, inspired by our blog quote and the PxK packaging, Anneclaire took her spraycans to the Flevopark on the eastside of Amsterdam for a mission and created this.

“Dress”
by Maartje van den Hurk
Technically not the best picture, but transforming Patta totebags into a piece of clothing is definitely inventive and original, so we couldn’t let this one slide.

Honorable mentions:

“Nighttime”
by Angel Gonzalez

“Harvest”
by Greg Andruszczenko

“Patta AM1″

“Skullface”
