- The Style Butcher started out in 2012 as a street style and fashion blog. In 2015 most of the focus was on the current projects of my luxury workwear company Search & Rescue Denim Co. Now in 2016 I am turning the focus of this blog to a sort of entrepreneurial journal. I want to chronicle the next stages of building an international fashion brand and I think writing out my experiences will help me understand a bit more what I want out of this business, and this life. Thanks for reading!

“I rock Margielas with no laces” This is really interesting to me. Rap and fashion have always gone hand in hand, but not usually rap and high fashion. Now, I don’t proclaim to really know anything about rap, mainstream or … Continue reading

Florence Welch
Today I found a little inspiration. One of the few singers I really appreciate is Florence Welch, of Florence + The Machine. She can actually sing, which is more than I can say for most on the top 100 these … Continue reading
Techno History
I’m a big fan of Richie Hawtin, but for all my years in the rave and club scene have not had the pleasure of seeing him play live. I recently came across this well done documentary about his life as … Continue reading

Guilty Pleasures – Vol 1
I am working on a DJ mix. It is not for cool people, or hipsters. It is shameful music for people who like to shake their goods in the kitchen. This is the first track. Enjoy. The mix will also … Continue reading

Music to Create to.
Music is always part of my creative inspirations. Now, I can’t stand 99% of rap, but I do enjoy some hip-hop here and there. Just came across this on Earmilk.com Really like the chorus hook (I know Coldplay did it, … Continue reading
Kid Cudi and that DJ
This was released a while ago, but I just came across it, and I dig it – Kid Cudi doing “Memories” with David Guetta producing. I’m also a fan of Kid Cudi’s indie/hipster/hip-hop clothing style. Aside from that, what’s up … Continue reading

Small things that make a big difference
I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I miss playing with music, and anytime I hear a song that moves me, all I can think about is sharing it with other people. I was at work today, and ended … Continue reading

Kanye West – Genius or D-bag?
I see Kanye West from a few different perspectives. In my opinion, he does have a good fashion sense, and is one of the few artists that has left the old hip hop image behind. For a while, I had … Continue reading

Soul for Sale
Social commentary? Yes. Fashionable? Probably not. Getting nostalgic over techno? Anytime. Don’t get it? That’s OK with me. Today was not productive….it degraded into drinking beer and surfing the net for old techno. ….I used to be a Dj, eh? … Continue reading
