You have to be very brave, to choose to cover a Kate Bush song. Kate Bush is an untouchable musical icons, so you got to get it right or don’t even bother. Well kudos to fellow British singer Mpho , who took a stab at “Running Up that Hill.”

If you remember Dogtown and Z Boys, the early incarnation of skateboarding as a competitive sport was slalom. Eventually, the push towards freestyle would leave it in the dust, seeming like a relic from another age. However, the sport itself is still young…

Table Tennis is a sport on a big return. No longer relegated as an indoor stepchild to ‘court sports’, it has been reborn as an ‘alt sport’ amongst the hipster set. It’s also just damn fun. The Hardbat Classic is the badass, rock n’ roll reincarnation…

I’m totally psyched to try on this crazee elooooongateddd version of the Classic – this one is number 4 in the ongoing series of Remasterings and is by mixed media artist Oscar Peters, who usually creates moving sculptures and explores the violence in humour or is it the other way round ? His approach for the ‘Classic Remastered’ is somehow scientific yet extremely groovy at the same time.

The remastering of the Classic continues at K-Space Amsterdam in all it’s vibrance and glory ! This 3rd interpretation in the ongoing series is by illustrator and designer Yvo Sprey and now up on display for all to see. Yvo can only be described as a drawing monster, a paper hunchback, the idiot captain of his own graphic world. His style is influenced by comics, south american artisans and other pagan arts. For his version of the ‘Classic Remastered’, Yvo started out painting the discobolo statue and the Classics themselves and seems to have ended up with a great “Jackson Pollock on Crack”! we love it thanks Yvo.

The 2nd ‘Remastered Classic’ is now up for all to see here and at K-Space in Amsterdam and this time it’s by Eiko Ishizawa from Japan who describes her idea as follows:
I wanted to camouflage the figure of the statue in the glamorous or almost even kitschy and heavenly atmosphere of the typical classic garden [...]

To kick off the ‘live’ Classic Remastered series at K-Space Amsterdam, Bonno van Doorn has  covered one of the statues with a polyurethane plastic, whereby the piece is transformed into a  ghostly soul lost at sea on it’s way to the afterlife.”
Bonno van Doorn graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2008. In his work [...]

Take a close look at our K-Space Amsterdam discobolos and the lady Venus, cause this is probably the last time that they will be looking as white and as ‘classic’ as they currently are. To tie-in with the release of the Classic Remastered series and kspace online creative expression site, our sublime posers are in [...]

There’s a whole lot to be said about CLASSIC for sure !  but most of all it’s kinda that ease comfort and timelessness that probably best expresses the word. We’re very proud of our 1966 Classic original with its sport and cultural heritage, and with that in mind we welcome you to step into our [...]

Lucky for us and um probably lucky for Adam, cause as this fun clip shows the young Moldy Peaches has a slight habit of being un-found, and in his pyjamas what’s more. Good thing we gave him a pair of Classics to roam around in just in case it happens again anytime soon. More good news is that Adam is recording his new album to follow up on his Sixes & Sevens (out now) in LA and if his Mexican fans have anything to do with it, he’ll be popping up there between sessions. Check out the KSPACE for more Classics expressing themselves.
