In Conversation With Shoreline Mafia
OHGEESY and Fenix Flexin are growing up.Despite making some of the most memorable West Coast trap music of the last 10 years, the Los Angeles-based duo behind Shoreline Mafia has traded all-nighters for intensive gym sessions and black label bottles for Erewhon smoothies.

Whatever that wall art was, it single-handedly dictated your journey into car enthusiasm and – if you're fortunate – eventually found its way to you and your driveway.We bet you never had this on your wall though: A Bentley Flying Spur Speed Ultra High Performance Hybrid... especially in orange.We first got our hands on the Bentley four-door last year when it was pre-production up in Aspen, and we immediately fell in love with its long-body, ultra-menacing and aggressive "gangster" look.

Through the Lens: Joshua Gordon
Joshua Gordon works on instinct, refusing to be confined by a single medium. Whether through photography, writing, film or the occasional act of graffiti, his work thrives on immersion—throwing himself into subcultures, high-risk environments and frontal encounters with quite the interesting subjects.

At the moment, he’s answering these questions from a nondescript hotel in Brussels, an unintended stop on his ongoing trips.Gordon’s career has taken him deep into Tokyo’s underground, into the woods of Sweden with Yung Lean, a dance sesh with Corville Cuffy for Vegyn’s “It’s Nice To Be Alive” video and face-to-face with cult film director Takashi Miike in an infamous Tokyo strip club.
