OBEY X WRECKS: FREE TEKNO COLLECTION

‘FREE TEKNO’ is a new project by Klasse Wrecks and Obey Clothing, inspired by the aesthetics and sounds of the free party scene that followed the demise of the Acid House explosion. This countercultural phenomenon transformed remote countryside locations across the UK and mainland Europe, bringing together anarchic youth subcultures driven by beats from Techno producers during the mid to late 1990s and early 2000s.

For the collection’s photo editorial, the duo of label bosses Luca Lozano and Mr. Ho took a trip to the Peak District in Yorkshire and visited Surprise View, which previously had been a site of free parties. The ghostly images of Photographer James Winstanley capture the pair of artists in search of a party, a moment of solace or the way home.

The capsule includes rave staples like hoodies, long sleeve shirts, tshirts and a patterned trouser as well as accessories like slipmats designed by Klasse Wrecks house designer PLANETLUKE.COM and produced by Obey Clothing. The drop is accompanied by a brand new EP by Luca Lozano and Mr. Ho who create their take on the sound of the free parties with their signature style.

The FREE TEKNO Collection is available now on line and in stores.
