Athens-based DJ/Artist Elena Kazi has sent a few of her jammin’ toys across the Atlantic for Clutter’s Gift Wrapped, their cash + carry holiday show, opening on Saturday (12.8). First, a blast from the past.
Originally released back in 2016, LMNTAL is the urban beat bot with all the moves, including a fierce battle mode. The clever design incorporates a microphone (head), spray cans (arms), turntable (chest) and record arm (weapon). The Gift Wrapped LMNTAL has some custom touches from the green deco to the mini album — the BBoy classic It’s Just Begun (1972) by the Jimmy Castor bunch. While it’s been awhile, we’d certainly welcome a new LMNTAL edition.
Kazi has also sent over a heavily customized NYC version of her BMBOX resin with miles and miles of 80’s style. Bubble lettering, animal print and flashy color panels mark a generation of genre-defining Hip Hop and the lifestyle that flowed with it.
