With an ever-growing success taking its attendance for the 7th edition in 2007 beyond the level of 20,000 people, while furtherly increasing its artistic quality, the International Festival of Electronic Music and Arts
Club To Club comes back with its 8th edition from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th November in Turin, Italy and on Saturday 8th November in Rottherdam, the Netherlands, willing to investigate contemporary sounds and new cultural trends, with a dreamy image and claim ”In dreams I dance with you”.
Coming back in the very same days when Turin becomes the Italian capital of contemporary arts and design, Club To Club 08 will try suggesting some new and unusual trajectories while questioning the idea of contemporary, leaving room to extraordinary and amazing music and different yet converging artistic languages.
New ideas and challenges will let the Festival’s audience decide their favourite route inside this year’s dense programme. Artists, producers of sound and visuals, record labels and “families”, teachers and pupils (and pupils influencing their teachers), far from obsolete genre definitions and constantly reinveinting their art, will fill the Festival’s programme.
For the second year in a row, 55DSL is official partner of the event and will take the chance to show there the preview of the Spring Summer 2009 10.55 with graphics by Vasava, Soren Strange Lentz, Matthew Goldman, Kustaa Saksi, Rinzen, Dstrukt, Serge Seidlitz and Andrea- Pink is Punk. And on this occasion 55DSL also designed and produced a very limited tee in 2 versions, that can you see below, and that very hardly you’ll be able to grab but… you’ll never know!

This year 55DSL partners with producer of fast-paced digital design tournament Cut&Paste for the definitive on line contest!
With the imminence of its 15th anniversary in 2009, 55DSL invites infact the Cut&Paste’s own culturally diverse, design-savvy, and urban-centric global audience to revamp the iconic 55DSL Shield logo, spinning it into a visual remix that reflects 55DSL’s culture and spirit.
Contestants will need to successfully reinterpret the Shield logo and represent 55DSL’s identity as an experimental, innovative brand. This will involve a balancing act of looking back at the label’s origins aswell as forward to its future, considering the graphic design, urban culture, extreme sports, and music influences that have always been at the heart of the label’s fun-loving, nonconformist attitude…
It’s finally time to introduce the latest result of the love affair-collaboration between 55DSL and the hottest photographer in the world nowdays, Bronques, from the one and only galleries-voyeristic site, lastnightsparty.com, a site that is so influential to be the center of the new N*E*R*D video!
This Summer, 55DSL sent Bronques in 3 different cities to shoot his free interpretation of the “live at least 55 seconds per day”: keywords to describe the first video we get, the Los Angeles one, are David Lynch inspired, Mullholand Drive, hot chicks stuck in traffic and walking in Beverly Hills, a special cameo by 55DSL’s favourite the Bloody Beetroots… you have to see with your eyes what else is inside there…
3 supersexy videos, radically different from each other, just like the cities involved…
Next stop: Japan. Can you immagine what will happen over there?

One a rainy afternoon in 2007, East London artist ITSME hijacked our beloved bench in front of the London’s Store and bombed it in a sticky sweet colourful explosion of liquid candy and bubblegum grape.
One year later and we’ve decided to invite our long time friend and compulsive doodler back for round 2…
For the few who fon’t know, “ITSME” is a 27 year old London based designer, illustrator and self-proclaimed general doodler. From sticker bombing to t-shirts to wallpaper, ITSME believes that there are no restrictions, boundaries or limitations when working on surfaces.
