Check out the posters(originally designed by Zeke Clough) we printed recently for Shackleton's gig at The Shelter (Shanghai) this Saturday, we are so exicited to work with Sub-Culture creating such well-designed and high quality posters, hand-pulled gig poster art finally arrives in Shanghai!









Let's see what SmartShanghai says as well:

"Aces of bass, Sub-Culture have a big show on their hands this Saturday when they welcome in Skull Disco co-founder, and one of dubstep's most original voices, Shackleton in to Shanghai for his first show ever at The Shelter. It's going to be a huge deal, and they're doing it right, bringing in extra speakers and sub-woofers for this thing. It's the biggest one they've done so far -- it's excessive. I think they're just trying to show that they haven’t gone soft.

Every month, the Sub-Culture crew is inviting locally-based and international artists and graphic designers to design their event posters, and in collaboration with Nini Sum and IdleBeats, they're silk screening them up and making them available for purchase on the night. It's a really great idea -- hand-done, silk-screened images by unique graphic designers that you can buy for cheap, go get framed, and use to spruce up your living room. We've got some pictures of Idle Beats silk screening these Shackelton posters. Scroll all the way down for those.

For their first go with the concept, they've got artwork from Zeke Clough, a UK-based artist who designed all the sleeves for all the Skull Disco releases. His own distinctive style has been incorporated as "the look" of Skull Disco these past few years, but he's also done stuff for Mordant Music and Warp Records. Last but not least, his art work has also been featured in Wire, which we all know, is the Greatest Music Magazine in the World.

Speaking as someone with absolutely no real background in illustration (I checked out of comics sometime during the Bronze Age), I would describe Clough's style as The Misfits reading Zap Comics whilst high on hot knives. Possibly also listening to Cannibal Corpse. Maybe a documentary on Norwegian Black Metal is on in the background. Check out Zeke Clough on the web right here, and don't forget to check out his comic strips."
