Persona 1: WHAT YOU WANT TO BE CONSIDERED AS
Persona 2: WHAT YOU FEAR TO BE CONSIDERED AS
This leads to a discussion about stereotypes and inner fears of getting misunderstood by the surroundings. Thoughts that every thinking modern day person does reflect upon. We're asking every day people from an innercity context where old categories as ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class are reassessed, why they choose to look like they do. We’re diggin' deep, peeling off garments, codes and attributes. We’re searching for transnational identities - is the conclusion that we choose whoever we want to be today?!
A 2FACED1 STATE OF MIND
A 2FACED1 is highly aware of existing stereotypes related to your own ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class. You’re trying to avoid them but sometimes also play with them to make people think twice about who you are. Two faced doesn’t mean anything negative here, it explains the double folded view you have on identity if you’re not the existing norm. It means you have the feet in different worlds, can move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and have become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.
2FACED1 is a state of mind, 2FACED1.com is a display-window for this mindset and the network of 2FACED1 includes all of you progressive non-stereotypes with a double perspective on identity.

BBQ PRESS RELEASE
"B.B.Q (pronounce: Be-Be-Q) is a 2 man production team from Dalston, London. Having had their fingers in many different pies (from The XX to Foreign Beggars to Damaged Good$) and remixed the likes of Wiley and Roots Manuva they now want to have some fun on their own and take sounds of the past with them into the future.
Booty Call is the first single of their free mixtape (due in early summer) and is featuring up and coming South African Wunderkind Spoek Mathambo and Texan Rap Duo Damaged Good$ on a beat that's guaranteed to blow your speakers: A Baltimore club kick with a yearning for 80s electro! A late night Booty Call, a fuck fest of styles for a night - no questions asked.
The mixtape is a similar mash up of genres - rummaging through the pockets of 80s soul and 90s R'n'B, but pulling out some unlikely surprises. Funk, Grime, Industrial and Pop find themselves under the biggest common denominator: the smooooothness.
I CUT THIS POSTER OUT OF THE SOURCE MAGAZINE...BACK WHEN I WOULD SHOPLIFT FROM THE CNA...BEFORE I GOT CAUGHT AND HELD IN A METAL BOX FOR 6 HOURS..ANYHOW, THE POSTER STAYED UP ON MY WALL THROUGH ALL THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS THAT COLOURED THAT HALF OF THE 90S.
"Spoek Mathambo is a slippery post-Apartheid glam-rap prince from Soweto who is descended from distant African royalty, or Jewish, or both" - FADER MAGAZINE
Part of a new breed of African artists, 25 year old Spoek Mathambo (Rapper and Graphic Designer/ Illustrator) is hitting the world hard with his take on Afro-futurism. Spoek sees himself as a part of a new wave of energy in Africa, which is intent on nurturing a sense of progressiveness while maintaining a pride in culture.
