Saturday was the opening party and Survivor Series Vol. I mixtape release at the brand new DURKL store. Tucked in the cut in a reinvented shared warehouse not far from Chinatown, the space has morphed into a multi-purpose space to not only shop in, but also chop it up with faces old and new. From crisp black bombers to “not-so-ironic” tees to jeans only the slim V-shape toting man can rock, the new store offers tailorings to meet any body and budget.
DJ Gemz, the newest member to the Strange Music team, kept the beat going all night with tracks from the Judah Survivor Series Vol. I mixtape. He also threw in some go-go from back in the day making me beat my feet ever so slightly. The WWF (not WWE) inspired mixtape is a compilation of local, national, and international talent along with hot ish from RAtheMc, The Party Bros., DJ Sega and Greenspan, June Luva, Adam Tensta, and Empire of the Sun. Ranging from hip-hop, rock and dance, just like the Durkl brand, the Survivor Series Vol. I Mixtape offers music for all ears.
The Survivor Series theme even inspired the creation of a limited edition tee (only 100 were produced). Bringing back memories of Saturday afternoons spent watching wrestlers on FOX and going over my boy’s house to watch the big events, the shirt sports hand-drawn lettering with a pic of an old favorite, The Ultimate Warrior. This event served as a reminder that folks from different walks of life can be in the same room and party together peacefully. More of what the DMV needs for sure.
