The night we launched our 21 Years of Gio-Goi album
You've seen the pictures... now it's time for the video. Stacked with exclusive interviews from DJ legends Mark Knight, Graeme Park, Chris Lake and co., Toolroom Knights at Ministry of Sound has become the poster boy for a night clubbing, done well. And with a five hour classic house set ripping up The Loft, courtesy of Hacienda hardhitter Graeme Park, we couldn't think of a better way to launch our 21 Years of Gio-Goi album, set for release soon. We'll keep you posted.

Graeme Park at Toolroom Knights for Gio-Goi
To celebrate 21 years of Gio-Goi, Hacienda legend Graeme Park will be playing an exclusive five hour set of house classics at Toolroom Knights held at Ministry of Sound on 1st May bank holiday.
This unheard of set also serves as the perfect way to launch the commemorative album, mixed by Park featuring one track from every year Gio’s been up and running. Watch this space for further details on how to get your mitts on it.

Bodycon casual- something for the weekend
Bodycon dresses don’t need to be worn with skyscraper heels to look hot. Throw on a denim jacket and your favourite hi-top Gio-Goi plimmies and you’re sorted, minus the tottering.
Kate Moross for Gio-Goi. Going…going…gone.
Obsessed with “three sided shapes, illegible typography and freeform lettering” London based graphic guru, Kate Moross, just simply isn’t up for producing run of the mill print fodder.
Having scored massive success in editorial collaborations with Nylon and Dazed, global ad designs for Keihl’s and some seriously off-piste gig merchandise for synthpop artiste La Roux, demand for Moross’ signature stamp is sky high.
So it’s no surprise that Kate Moross’ limited-run screen designs for Gio-Goi have been flying off the online shelves. Featuring the graphic elements for which she has become so well known, the exclusive stocks of men’s and women’s tees are now on the frighteningly (and understandably) low side.
In the next few days, we’re expecting a total sell out, so for those who want the chance of owning a piece of this collaborative fashion pie, we recommend you get clicking today to avoid disappointment!

All Driller, no filler
If your failsafe denims just aren’t giving you that warm, fuzzy feeling any longer, try these low riding twill threads.
Drop crotch, back cinch and worn as baggy as you like, they’re fresh for throwing on with a similarly oversized hoody or any of your Gio-Goi tees.
Getting Shadey
Squinting, walking backwards and retrieving your dirty, dusty baseball cap from the floor of your wardrobe are all ways to avoid a good dose of retina overload on these sunny, spring days we’re getting a batch of at the mo.
Or you could welcome the reappearance of that big ball in the sky with a pair of equally bright Gio shades.
Take your pick from our styles to ensure you’re kitted out for summer.
Plan B on Radio 1’s Live Lounge
Gio brand buddy Plan B did a live and exclusive set on Radio 1’s ‘make them or break them’ live lounge last week, performing his latest single ‘She Said’ and a special acoustic cover of ‘Pass Out’. Nudging 100,000 views on youtube, this version has gone down a storm and secured Plan B a new mob of fans. Hit play to see the hip-hop-turned-soulman’s new spin on Tinie Tempah’s grime anthem.
