More new colourways of those iconic designs by Dave Little. This coming Friday, July 24th, we will be releasing the second edition of our Boy's Own T-shirts. Due to the incredible demand, we decided to produce a small re-run of the first two designs but in three new colorways each.

The full range will be available at The-Glade online and Firmament in-store. Please also visit these fine retailers who will be receiving the T-shirts:

* Goodlife, Glasgow
* Goodhood, London
* Paper Scissor Stone, Leeds
* Patta, Amsterdam
* Wood Wood, Copenhagen
* Grand, Zurich
* Surrender, Singapore



Make sure you check the sizing charts, as these will sell out very quickly, and we may not be able to exchange for different sizes. The T-shirts will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis beginning from Friday. Please note that we cannot process pre-orders at this point.

We hope you get the one you want!

Best,
Firmament Crew

About Boy’s Own
A democratic movement born in the late 80s, formed from part football hooligan, part soul boy– Boy’s Own combined music, with art and fashion. From their exclusive parties in stately homes, Dave Little’s stylised artwork, underground fanzine, and record label - the Boy’s Own Crew set the standard for a multi-dimensional crusade to change the face of Britain – they did it.





April 17, 2009 - Friday 

We are very proud to announce that the Boy's Own T-shirts are now online at The Glade, and are in-store at the retail outlets we detailed last week.

Thanks to all involved in the project, you know who you are.

Boy’s Own Legend Terry Farley, gives Firmament his top ten tracks from that classic era, and just why he loves them so much.

1. Paradiso – ‘Here We Go Again’. Reminds me of Rampling playing for Boy’s Own at the Broadstairs all-dayer - a hard to get Italian disco beauty!

2.St Etienne – ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart’ - my fave Weatherall mix of all time, really summed up the down-tempo dubbed out vibe of post acid house clubs such as, Monkey Drum and Future

3.Rickster – ‘Night Moves’ - played at the mad party we had at some hippy dudes farm near Milton Keynes. That made The Sun newspaper, as the fucker was renting it from the queen!

4. DSK – ‘What Would We Do’ (8 min of madness mix) - when Tony Humphries played this at a Ministry of Sound’s opening party it made Heller and Farley's name as remixers.

5. Fire Island – ‘Beat In Your Bones’ - based on a jingle taken from Tony Humphries NYC mix show.

6. Style Council – ‘Shout To The Top’ - played by Andrew at a big warehouse party we did in Wimbledon. 500 people locked outside and the bubble machine on overload as this monster kicked in!!

7.Jackie Wilson – ‘Sweetest Feeling’ - a prime example of ecstasy soul

8.Paul Rutherford – ‘Get Real’ - one of the best UK house records – EVER. Paul was a regular at the Boy’s Own doo's too.

9. Xpress 2 – ‘Music Xpress’ - part of Junior Boys Own’s many homage’s to Junior Vasquez's Sound Factory nights

10. Chaka Khan – ‘Aint Nobody’ (Frankie Knuckles dub) - an ultimate E /MDMA record!

Thanks Terry!

Chris Galloway from Soft Rocks was a regular at the Boy’s Own parties, and has gone on to become synonymous with making top quality music from a myriad of genres with Soft Rocks. Here’s his Top Ten, and just why he loves them.

1: Ce Ce Rogers - Someday
(A voice from heaven a bass-line from hell and penned by Marshall Jefferson...say no more)

2: Sade - Turn My Back On You
(Sade's heavenly voiced Balearic boogie tune that became a staple Rampling warm-up favourite at Shoom)

3: Simple Minds - Theme For Great Cities
(Incredible instrumental pop / rock gem that typified the early Andrew Weatherall sound)

4: Bang The Party - Release Your Body
(Raw house music that's been rarely bettered in my opinion)

5: Womack & Womack - Life Is Just A Ball Game
(Another staple Shoom warm up favourite for Danny Rampling that I will never forget)

6: Thrashing Doves - Sympathy For The Devil (Live)
(The record that I remember most from the Boy’s Own East Grinstead party)

7: Ten City - That's The Way Love Is
(What a record...house music to die for, Marshall Jefferson was a genius)

8: Dizzi Heights - Would I Find Love
(A Weatherall re-discovery that blew our minds)

9: Funk Express - Funk Express
(Cut and paste funk dance madness that the Italians were so good at)

10: Richie Havens - Going Back To My Roots
(The first time i heard this was at Shoom in 1988 and when I play it today in 2009 it still has the same spine tingling effect)

Thanks Chris! You may find one or two of these on the Boy’s Own ‘For That Night In East Grinstead’ mix…

A little taster from the upcoming promo mix, which is included with each Boy's Own T-shirt purchased. Rare Boy's Own classics, which give a flavour of those iconic parties.

www.MySpace.com/firmamentberlin

Mixed and blended by Soft Rocks, with input from Terry Farley - Soft Rocks attended many of the parties, and have an archive of many records played at those events. The mix features extremely rare tunes that are almost impossible to find – making this even more of a collectors item, giving a snapshot of those hedonistic days.
