Cutting edge and contemporary, ‘Taking the DNA of jungle, soul and jazz, Eliphino has a timeless production style that balances emotional electronica with an innovative approach to production.’

alkr.com Website Design

Some time in January 2011 I realized I had to update alkr.com. The first site we launched end of 2009 was very basic; it was just a sales website with no real content.

I needed to find a way to combine content and sales. The result is a mixture of a magento store and a wordpress blog. But they don´t sit next to each other, both are woven into each other.

Just give it a look at alkr.com

Passionate People – Giorgio Oehlers

There are so many passionate people who do what they love and love what they do. I designed a series for alkr®, called “Passionate People”. We will randomly portrait interesting people such as musicians, painters, screen printers, illustrators, photographers and designers and shoot them in their personal spaces. The first person featured is Giorgio Oehlers from Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Please introduce yourself.

My name is Giorgio Oehlers. I’m a 20 year old inline skater/producer/filmmaker from Rotterdam, Netherlands.

What is your passion? 

I have a passion for three things: skating, making beats, and film/video editing.

How did this passion of yours start to develop/grow?

I started skating when I was 8 or 9, and I fell in love the first time. I was very young, so you could say that skating contributed to the development of the person I am today. Then, one day I was relaxing at a friend’s place, and his brother was making a beat. I was completely mesmerized. It was so cool, so I got my hands on FL Studio (formerly Fruityloops) and started making beats.

Fixed Gear London

This is the first issue of the alkr® work sessions series, which features remarkable, passionate people who tell us about their work and what they love to do. The first interview is with Andy Ellis of Fixed Gear London, a group of riders who are enthusiastic about their bikes and the way they ride them.

Andy Ellis is one of the original founders of the Fixed Gear London collective, and he is also the editor of Fixed Magazine.

When Andy isn’t riding the streets of London, taking photographs or writing and editing Fixed Magazine, you can find him designing and developing interesting new products.

We asked him how it all started, what he’s doing now, and what he’s passionate about. Check out the video!
