Here at Stoney’s we’re all about the music, period. However, we occasionally like to remember that artists are a brand, and that those brands can be scrutinised… for fun!

And so it was, we’ve come up with the 4 styles that artists seem to generally dabble in to build the images we know and love.

1. The man-ochromatic:

We can think of a major problem of having a metal right hand – beats aside, there’s some things that cold and sharp cuts shouldn’t come into contact with. Mastered by power-duo Daft Punk, the robo-trend has also made it’s way into Gessafelstein’s video for fresh track ‘Pursuit’. Futuristic-fabulous, we’re more than happy to be infatuated with shiny things (well, we might draw the line at grillz).

Repeat offenders: Daft Punk

2. The baby gap:

Perfect for those who enjoy hanging out primarily infront of graffiti backdrops – this style features check shirts, t-shirts a plenty and the all too frequent return of the v-neck (effect: confusing). It’s important for people to know that you’re all about the music, but still care about appearing euro-chic. Chuck in some sports branding to remind people that your’e a gen X-er and you’re sweet to do your thang.

Repeat offenders: Disclosure, Pale, Skrillex, anyone making beats from the Euro-sector.

3. The suit jacket/t-shirt or the ‘do you want socks and sandals with that?’:

A chiller is as a chiller does, and if you’re a chiller producer you’ve probably given this one a go. You could match a suit jacket with the old plain white T, or a button up shirt with jeans so skinny they give you the ol’ dreaded-but-weirdly-sexy-twig-leg. If in doubt, add an awkwardly large cap (worn backwards or forwards depending on how bad-ass you’re feeling that day).

Repeat offenders: Madeon, Flume, Diplo, Calvin Harris

4. The, ‘let me mentally disable you with my beats…and weather-inappropriate wear or other fashion bric-a-brac’:

Whether it’s Moby getting back to his Espanol roots by donning a sombrero or MIA chilling out in a bright yellow raincoat. It’s almost inspiring to recognise that one can appreciate elitist name brands and garage sale threads simultaneously. Also we always can appreciate a good old chief headpiece – I mean, who doesn’t like saluting the Native American people with a bit of electro-pop, no one we know, thats for sure. Honourable mention goes to Deadmau5, ‘it’s my cess pool and I’ll wear a bucket hat if I want to!’

Repeat offenders: MIA, Steve Aoki, Empire of the Sun, Grimes
