UNKLE x Dr Martens “Boot Room” Pop- Up and James Lavelle DJ set

To support UNKLE's gig at KOKO and to celebrate the recent success of UNKLE's fifth studio album 'The Road: Part I', Daydreaming With.. are proud to present a UNKLE pop-up event in Dr Marten's Boot Room, Camden Market as part of 'Daydreaming With James Lavelle: Camden'.

James Lavelle also performs a DJ set at the store on Sept 30th

This latest instalment in the 'Daydreaming With' series in the Dr Marten's 'Boot' Room' is a pop-up store and exhibition inspired by James Lavelle's band UNKLE's quarter century career, and the influence they have had in the creative arts through record sleeves, fashion collaborations, music videos, toys and merchandise.

Art:  James has worked with a number of street and graffiti artists over the years (3D from Massive Attack), and a selection of their ground-breakingly original artworks based on album sleeves can be seen at the pop-up.

Toys: James' personal obsession with toy collecting resulted in an ongoing partnership with Medicom, a Japanese manufacturer of collectible toys. These collaborations have become highly sought after, and include a number of their iconic Bearbrick and Kubrick figures. A very special display of many of these sought after items will be on display.

Records: UNKLE have released five studio albums to date, as well as remixes and collaborations too numerous to mention. A handful of their more collectable releases with be shown here, showcasing the elaborate packaging with which they have become synonymous.

Clothing: In terms of brand collaborations, UNKLE have been most prevalent when it comes to clothing, and have worked with streetwear and high-fashion brands from around the world. Examples on display include rare pieces by BAPE, Neighbourhood, Kaws, Surrender and Supreme.

Prints:  The prints showcase the Mo’ Wax / UNKLE camouflage, created by Ben Drury and James Lavelle, and incorporates influences from 90s street culture brands such as A Bathing Ape.
