Keep Watch Vol. X: Major Laser T-Shirt Available Now!
Today marks the tenth installment of our illustrious Keep Watch mixes. From the outset, music has always played a big role in shaping our brand. With strong ties to various artists, and a creative team that is constantly inspired and influenced by their musical predilections the Keep Watch mixes have become as much of the Mishka fabric as our seasonal line.
Ten volumes and approximately one year later, the mixes have greatly exceeded all expectations. As a result, we?ve decided to celebrate the 10th installment in a special way. For our tenth volume, we enlisted the services of electro-reggae-dancehall virtuoso Major Lazer. And to coincide with the special mix, Mishka produced a limited run Major Lazer tee designed by Skinny Digital. Long time supporters of Mishka and often considered family, the t-shirt was a perfect way to compliment the Major Lazer curated mix which is available in Black and White.
Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. The US military rescued him and repurposed experimental lazers as prosthetic limbs. Since then Major Lazer has been a hired renegade soldier for a rogue government operating in secrecy underneath the watch of M5 and the CIA. His cover is that of a dancehall night club owner from Trinidad and he enlisted the help of long-time allies and uber-producers, Diplo and Switch, to produce his first LP. His true mission is to protect the world from the dark forces of evil that live just under the surface of a civilized society. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, and has a rocket powered skateboard.

You guys realize this is the exact same mix that Switch submitted to the BBC 1 Essential mix..
July 30th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
yes we unfortunately do
August 1st, 2009 at 3:27 pm
erm why have you just recreated switch’s essential mix?
August 1st, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Because Switch gave us this mix AND then gave it to BBC shortly thereafter. The BBC essentials happened to post a day prior to our release date which was pushed back a few weeks first waiting to get the mix and then waiting to receive the Major Lazer T-shirts meant to accompany the mix.
I’m sure BBC Essentials was also totally unaware that Switch had given them basically the same exact mix he handed us as Keep Watch Vol. X. And I can only assume they’re also not pleased with the situation either.
If you have an issue with it, I encourage you to email Switch and express your displeasure with him doing such. I can tell you that we’re not pleased on our end that this has happened and that it’s compromised the entire notion of what the Keep Watch Mix Series has been thus far. Had we heard the BBC Essential Mix the day before we would have shelved this entirely, but given that it was just a day or so between we had no clue until after the fact that they were almost the same exact mix.
We hope to make it up you guys very shortly.
