PISTACHE CLOTHING UPDATED PRESS RELEASE 2011

After working for brands like American Apparel & Quiksilver, brothers Nick & Jamie (aka Mr.Moon & Nature323) established 'Pistache' in London, 2003. Since then, Pistache has been on a mission to produce the best quality screen printed t-shirts available, with minimum impact on the environment & maximum impact when you wear them. Pistache screen prints everything by hand with eco-friendly inks. This gives every t-shirt a unique quality that can't be mass produced by machines. They also create limited edition graffiti caps, skateboards, stickers, mixtapes, canvases & other artwork.

Before Pistache, Mr.Moon was an MC with renowned UK Hip Hop Crew Dupa Styles (with Yungun, Devise & Harry Love) & a member of pirate hip hop radio station Parlay FM. So, naturally Pistache started out by clothing personal friends from the UK Hip Hop scene. Sponsoring Yungun gave the brand immediate exposure & credability. Since then, Pistache has made all sorts of organic music connections with other artists like DJ Mr Thing, DJ MK, Spin Doctor, Yarah Bravo, Asaviour, DJ Vadim, DJ Excalibah, Guru (R.I.P.), Mark De Clive Lowe, Nigel NK, MC Wrec, The Infadels, Soweto Kinch, Tommy Evans, Evil Ed, Verb T, DJ IQ, GTA, Chima Anya, DJ Stirfry, DJ Kojak & Infinite Potential.

Pistache has been featured in a load of magazines like fashion industry bible Streetwear Today, Japanese fashion magazines Street Jack & Spymaster, as well as Touch, UK Hip Hop mag Undercover, Hooker, Blowback, Who's Jack, Hip Hop Connection, Wavelength, Pit Pilot, Carve & Bomb Alert. Pistache has also Graff'd Custom Kicks & Caps for a variety of clients like a TV show which is hosted by Radio 1Xtra's Mistajam & features UK Hip Hop & Grime Artists like Tinie Tempah, Chipmunk, Skepta, Scorcher & Staplehouse, Bashy, Mo Ali & Goldielocks.

Pistache released it's first UK hip hop mixtape 'Beats'n'Rhymes Vol.1' mixed by DJ IQ in 2005. The mixtape features UK hip hop artists Yungun, Klashnekoff, Harry Love, Mr Thing, Kyza, Asaviour, Braintax, Lowkey, Blade, Doc Brown, Tommy Evans, Reveal, Stylah, Yogi, Rukus, Ty, Verb T, Confuscius, Eric Lau, Genesis Elijah, L Roneous, DJ IQ, Kashmere, Mr Tibbs, Devise, Infinite Potential, Amber MC, Twisted Link, Wordsmith, GTA, Brotherman & Solisai as well as US Hip Hop legends KRS1, Chuck D & Immortal Technique. Look out for exclusive new releases in the 'Pistache Presents' series.

The Pistache Boys collaborate with underground graffiti writers & graphic designers like Lady Luck, Abstrakt & BoardChicks to help keep the designs fresh & showcase work by up & coming artists. Pistache Clothing also has it's own Extreme Sports Team featuring MMA fighters, skaters & surfers like Karl Frampton, Marco Vicari, Sebastien Lopez, Eugene Tollemache & Louis Selby. They also sponsor girls like Emily Rose, who won MTV's Hip Hop Candy competition & now lives in Los Angeles, where she is a TV presenter & model.

The Pistache Boys are making their lives, & the brand, even more eco-friendly by growing a sustainable Paulownia Tree Plantation on 4.5 acres of disused agricultural land. The O2 produced by the Paulownia Trees should more than offset the CO2 produced from shipping Pistache orders worldwide. Pistache uses as much recycled material as possible for packaging & branding. They donate misprinted t-shirts to charity & also recycle unwearable t-shirts & waste paper into compost to feed their Paulownia trees.

Pistache is flowing in the veins of different subcultures from UK Hip Hop to Graffiti & from MMA to Skateboarding. The Pistache Boys are sticking to their mission to produce the best quality t-shirts, graffiti caps, art prints, stickers, skateboards & mixtapes with minimum impact on the environment & maximum impact when you wear them.

If the Beatles could rap... would it have sounded like this?
Yungun - "I recorded this track a couple years ago for fun, as part of a remixes project that me and Mr Thing were working on. I chopped this up myself, added some claps and finger clicks then jumped in the booth. For obvious reasons, this was never going to get a proper release! The verses ended up going on the Grown Man Business album that me and Mr Thing did. Now seemed like as good a time as any to let people hear it. Enjoy!"

Britishhiphop.co.uk review - "A 27 track mix which features an abundance of sick artists.... the fusion of UK, US artists & beats is skilfully done by DJ IQ on this mixtape, some of the US beats are almost reminiscent of the whole breaks / funk thing which I definitely think is a positive aspect of the CD. The vibe of the CD is upbeat & fun, yet overall it manages to make reference to deep content with ease."
