We are located at a busy area in central Helsinki, in a block with historical value built in 30’s functionalist style. Things and values we wish to represent in this concept are all something we have a personal connection with. We aim to stay true in all we do.

“Aloe Blacc, Chris Haycock and myself wanted to create an environment where all ethnicities and musical genres could co-exist. It’s unfortunate that clubs/events can be so segregated racially and musically so we set out to change the rules. We wanted a fun-filled outlet for all of these worlds to clash with music as the core element. Fortunately, it worked and we’ve been able to fill a void with our own little niche. This is ultimately a testament to our attendees because all of our guests are kept a mystery so the main reason people keep coming back is because they know week in and week out, there will be incredible guests and music.”

- Jamie Strong, Do-over founder

Here’s little something that the Pelago heads had to unveil about the upcoming bike release:

“For this limited edition of bicycles we applied track ends to a roadster and dropped the steel into a zinc pot. We equipped the bike with coaster brake and 42 mm puncture protected tires. The result is a solid and simplified bicycle for the cobbled downtown streets. The project cherishes our skateboard background and honours Grey Market for their contribution to street culture.”

Production batch number one is a limited edition of 25 pieces available exclusively through Pelago and Grey Market Supply. Full assembly available in three sizes 53, 57 and 61 during early June.

EGS exhibition @ Napa Gallery

The latest EGS exhibition at Napa Gallery is a tribute to Helsinki’s graffiti tradition. Graffitis are an integral part of each city’s cultural history and landscape. For EGS, they have also been a way to explore different neighborhoods of the city of Helsinki. Subway tunnels, transformers, wastelands, demolition houses, railway tunnels, industrial and port areas formed an adventure park for the 80’s graffiti youth. Many of these sites have now vanished to give room for new residential areas and commercial real estate.

To his new paintings, EGS has documented the feeling of the Helsinki vibe of his graffiti adolescence. Cobblestones, harbor cranes, wire-netting fences, trams, chimneys, sea fog, lighthouses, brick walls and climbing trees have sprang to life as a graffiti letters and parts of them. The pieces in the exhibition represent graffiti art at its simplest: tags and stylized letters painted with black ink.

EGS is one of the Finland’s best-known graffiti artists internationally. His career as an artist began after the mid 80’s, inspired by the first Finnish graffiti wave. His work has been displayed on the walls and in galleries worldwide. Noteworthy is, he has not painted Illegal graffiti for years.

EGS x Grey Market tee and tote

To celebrate the exhibition, we at Grey Market teamed up with EGS to create a set of collaborative gear. The EGS pack includes a white tee shirt and tote bag featuring black ink EGS piece. We kept it simple with one color screenprint, nuff said.

heatin' up the big one

The anniversary festivities went down on a sizzling hot sunday evening. Plenty of party ppl showed up and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. The bbq chefs conjured up a broad selection of yummy-yummies and the crowd loved ‘em. The first open-air Juicy Sneakers was an instant success. What’s more pleasing than browsing some shoes and gear in the sunshine, in time with good music? We would like to thank everyone who attended and give big shout outs to all the Adidas heads for making it happen. Check out the vibe from the pictures provided below.

It’s been two years since it all started with us, This time, we are celebrating the anniversary with Adidas. We got weekly drops from their Skateboarding, O by O Kazuki & Originals collections.

The party itself goes down on 16th of May @ our Lasipalatsi store, starting 4pm. In the backyard, we got the grill heated up for BBQing and dj booth with friends & family spinnin’ the original tunes. The shop is naturally open thru the whole party so you can cop the shit out of it while chewing the steak.

Finally, we recommend an afterparty @ Virgin Oil Co. with no others than Just Blaze and The Alchemist performing soundclash style.

We at GMS teamed up with Nike Sb throwing a party to celebrate the launch of Fluff book and sneakers. First connoisseurs showed up to form a queue as early as 11am. It was delightful to see some new young faces waiting outside. Majority of the sizes were sold immediately after opening the doors. Later on the shop was packed with friends & family enjoying the fresh Japanese delicacies. Big up to everyone who supported.
