Creative corner with Drew Kaklamanos from Photo Finish Records

Drew Kaklamanos, a Florida boy now fiercely identifying as a New Yorker - recognized as the baddest whiteboy East of the Mississippi River. Just looking for tunes and things to make us all feel something.

Our recent chat with Drew discusses his favourite campaigns and talks about the overlaps between visual creativity and music.

IM LOVING

The explosion of world music, especially Afrobeat - Rema has a legit smash with Calm Down and there is so much exciting young talent in the space. I'm a huge fan of Fireboy DML, Tubrizzy, and so many more..’

Also loving Dominic Fike, ThxSoMch , Central See, and Popcaan.

FAVOURITE VIDEO

The Weeknd - 'The Hills'

Choosing a favourite video of all time is an impossible task, but this video is so memorable and was the most perfect start to one of the most epic album rollouts in recent memory. Everything about this video is exactly as it should be.

BEST ARTWORK

The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die

The juxtaposition of an infant Christopher Wallace sitting atop the jarring (especially at that time) title of one of the best debut albums of all time makes this art iconic. And that is just the start..

RECENT CAMPAIGN

Welcoming back MisterWives Photo Finish and rolling out their newest album Nosebleeds has felt like a homecoming of sorts. It’s only a matter of time for this band.

As well as this, releasing Photo Finish band Joan's debut album, superglue, was the culmination of years of work and growth. Equally as exciting, pF recently launched the debut album campaign for pF's most recent signing, Delacey, with her singles 'Man On The Moon' & 'The End'.

COLLABORATION

The Jack Harlow x KFC Jack Harlow Meal collab... just because.

HOTTEST RECENT VIDEO

A completely original idea is very hard to come by these days, but I think there is real genius in reimagining and/or combining previous ideas to create something new. Drake and 21 Savage using the 'Jimmy Crooks' video to announce their forthcoming collaborative album 'Her Loss' was so brilliant.
