Jordy is a model based in NYC and LA. Born in the states but with hot ties to Australia, this girls got her head on strait. She’s your new best friend, the somehow non annoying Gwyneth Paltrow of your girl group.

Chalk full of opinions, she’s got something to add to every conversation, but honestly, we’re listening and taking notes. We shot in the TriBeCa loft where she lives with two boys, her boyfriend and best friend, listening to a slew of downtempo music like Chet faker and her mate Fascinator. There’s no denying a bohemian sensibility, but it’s not something you identify immediately. There’s no patchouli oil in the bathroom (we checked) but her compassionate lifestyle (long time vegetarian) gives her away. Jordy later told us laughing, that she was voted “most free spirited” in high school. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. She was born in the states but started modeling in Australia when she was there for school. She has been modeling for three years and in ten years she sees herself being a wellness coach or yoga instructor. Jordy’s favourite musicians are Chet Faker, Banks, and Fascinator. In her spare time she just started a food line called Alchemy.

Tell us about your upbringing! How did it shape the person you are now?

Mum and dad were (and are) so amazing! I can’t attribute this to any one single quality, but somehow they created the most supportive environment for my younger brother and I. Mum says now that her and my dad were more concerned with raising future adults than raising children. Maybe there is something to that…. I don’t always, but I know that I could tell them absolutely anything and they would reserve judgement. When I was in school we moved around quite a bit (all within the U.S.) for dads work, and then I moved to Australia alone in my late teens. I feel like having to learn to thrive in new environments, constantly being the new kid, instilled me with such a fierce sense of independence. I’m rather fearless in social situations. Besides my Gemini affiliation, I think I owe that confidence to my parents. (I’m looking at you mum!)

How did you get your start modeling? Was it always something you dreamed of doing?

I was in university in Australia when I got started. I was 18, which is rather late! … I think I started to be intrigued by the industry when I first saw photos of natalia vodianova. Her face is mesmerizing. I always cared a lot about clothing, even though I was a diehard tomboy, and generally rather hopeless looking back. But honestly, growing up I remember wanting to an archeologist… I didn’t even know that modeling was a real career. And if I had I still probably wouldn’t have considered it an option for myself! But I’m so happy the way things have worked out. I think I have a lot more career success ahead of me, but if not, I’m really grateful for this opportunity. We heard that if you weren’t modeling you’d be working in wellness.

What aspect of health is most fascinating to you?

The interconnectivity off everything! Just like style is not just what you wear, wellness isn’t just what you eat. It’s mental, spiritual and physical. But coming from a food centric family, the nutrition aspect is close to my heart, and the most fun! When you stop looking at food as the enemy or something you have to quantify, you are so much more free to live your life. Actually, my friend and myself have started a little passion project called Alchemy NYC. She’s freelance, so essentially we are both sort of self employed, so we wanted a fun branding project for our down time. Both of us really love to eat, and talk shit and drink coffee… so we started to hang out in our kitchens. The concept at the moment is to take back raw deserts. We were inspired by wanting to create vegan cheesecake that had a nice texture, and the right about of sharpness, and something just generally really lovely that feels modern. She’s a brilliant food writer snd stylist, and one of my very best friends, so we thought we complimented each other rather nicely. I was getting so tired of seeing this gap in the market for vegan treat foods that married both traditional culinary flavorings and more nutrient dense ingredients. We live in NY for fucks sake. It always seems the more “traditional” vegan baking, uses tofu or shortening in place of eggs. A far cry from a healthy alternative. On the other end of the spectrum, most of the raw-centric fare is usually just an acai, cacao flavored cashew mess. There are some people that we really admire, producing stunning delicious deserts, but most of them are based overseas (we’re looking at you Australia). We don’t bake, that requires too much chemical precision, we like to cook the way we feel… Our deserts are, apart from some lightly toasted nuts and seeds, considered raw. We’re still getting on our feet (anyone want to build us a bloody amazing website for free?…no?) but by word of mouth we’re doing custom cakes and catering. Watch this space.

What do you love most about Joshua Tree?

So many things to climb! Hah from spending do much time in California this year I learned that I’m just rather fond of deserts in general… There is something about the light quality, all diffused and golden that’s pretty special. You can rent air bnbs out there and sleep in a big queen bed under the stars. No humidly, no light pollution, no real bugs. It’s heaven.

What is your perception about real love?

Is that much different than the generic kind? I don’t know, I’ve been really lucky in “real” love. I met my best friend (boyfriend) 6 years ago and we’ve basically been together ever since. But like anything, there are both good and bad things about meeting so young. So far we’ve grown together, but there’s always the possibility of coming of age and drifting apart. We’re really respectful of letting each other be curious and nurture interests outside the relationship. I think that’s important. I’m so grateful for him, he makes my life better in 100 ways. But at the end of the day if it doesn’t work out, I know ill be okay. I know I’d be happy again eventually. At the moment I’m learning that it takes quite an incredible amount of self assurance to give yourself to someone else without losing your integrity as an individual. That’s where I’m at.

The moments you are lying in your bed.. which thoughts come too you?

By that point in the day I’m usually so contented. I try to do the majority of my thinking in the day time, that way if anything pressing comes to me it can potentially still do something about it. You can ask my boyfriend, at night, after around 9 pm I’m basically useless. And by the time I get into bed, apart from some very silly dreams, I sleep like a lamb.

My squad a bunch of bosses
Women coming in fresh from off an island

Everyone has their eyes on Charli XCX–with good reason too. At a young age she has already been dominating the music industry and now she’s bridging into fashion with her own collection collaborating with UK’s brand Boohoo.  In the depth of Brooklyn is the launch–full of candy stalls, arcade games and an electric bull.  Oh and Joe Jonas’ band DNCE opened before Charli XCX performed.

Deep down in a Brooklyn warehouse, Fader again threw an event with a stellar lineup.  Yes, there was Kehlani and Boogie and to those who knew Fader could pull (unfortunately the crowd shrink towards the end of the night) stayed and it was definitely a SURPRISE GUEST–Skrillex.  It was actually my first time I’ve seen him play and for sure he puts on a show.  The night was at a Converse Rubbertracks and drew hundreds of fans.  Most people stayed on line then was turned away as it was at capacity early early on.  And to those who don’t have Kehlani on their radars, trust me, you will soon.

Sometimes all you need is just a good dance. The perfect night out. A massive bass that goes through and through your body and soul and sets your mind free. And what could be better for that than the new live set of Alexy Billon out of the Becool event series at Le Bako´s Upstair Room. The young French DJ has been living in Barcelona since 2000 and fell in love with electronic music at the age of 15. Probably around the same time than us. And we haven´t fallen out of love yet either. Ok, it´s only Tuesday but sometimes all you need is just a good dance before the weekend comes. Enjoy the set!

You know you’re going to the right Halloween party when you have Bryana Holly, Sahara Ray, Rocky Barnes and Amanda Li-Paige hosting it. Oh, and did I mention that it’s thrown by One Management at Catch NYC? The instafamous chicks flew in from LA and London to make the night perfect and boy, it was.  Models with One Management all came to celebrate on the roof of one of the hottest seafood restaurants of New York City overlooking the lights and city below.

Josh Legg, best known as Goldroom, is a producer / songwriter / singer / Dj/ musician responsible for bringing you nu- disco, tropical/ deep house-straight up feel good music. As of recently, Goldroom has transformed into a four piece band with Nick Sandler on drums, Knox Robotic shredding on the guitar, all blended together with Nikki Segal and Josh Legg’s vocals and intervals on the keyboard. The band has been tirelessly touring across the U.S. and Canada delivering their euphoric live performances. Goldroom’s music can best be described as witnessing the fusion between a sunrise and a sunset, feeling the perfect breeze, all while holding hands with your favorite person in the world.

Words and interview by Ashley Zucker, photography by Lauren Engel

“Embrace” featuring George Maple is such an uplifting track. What’s the story behind the creation of the track and what made you want to re-record from the original?

Thanks! George and I wrote the track together a few years ago. We wrote the vocals together over an instrumental I had made. When Snapchat gave me the opportunity to make a short film revolving around the song, I thought it would be a great opportunity to show the world what the song sounded like when we first wrote it. The two versions are both so different and I was just excited to show the world what the song would sound like with the original writer on it.

The record “Fifteen” is definitely emotional. Do you recall at what point in your life you were in when you wrote this song?

Sure, I wrote the song in 2011 on an acoustic guitar. I had been thinking about the summer after I turned 15, when I had a bunch of my first “adult” experiences. I’m always super nostalgic for the types of pure emotions you can only feel at that point in your life… I’m always feeling that way!

Which artists were you listening to at age fifteen?

CSNY, Dylan, Allman Bros, Petty… A lot of classic songwriting from the 60s and 70s and 80s.

“Waiting To Ignite” featuring Ren Farren has pronounced, groovy disco vibes. What elements went into creating this track?

I wanted to challenge myself to try and make a track that just had piano, guitar, bass guitar, and drums. The icing on the cake was definitely writing the vocals with Tinashe. Obviously that instrumental is pretty outside of what she normally does, so it was really exciting to get to write something so different.

Even though Nikki Segal is not the vocalist on your tracks she performs, her voice seems to completely fit with the vibes and fabrication of the records. How did you start working with Nikki and what is the secret to having great chemistry on stage?

Working hard and rehearsing a lot! Nikki is amazing. We met because we both attended USC, and she’s been amazing to work with on the live side. She’s one of the most talented vocalists I’ve ever been around and she’s taught me so much.

What emotions do you feel when performing with the band onstage versus Djing?

It’s so much more emotionally challenging and at times fulfilling to play live. I mean, I wrote these songs, so getting to sing them for people in a live setting is much more personal and connecting. All of that said, I LOVE DJing. There’s something so free and fun about it and I have to say I have more fun doing it on the whole.

What is the biggest challenge of working with a band? What is the biggest reward?

The biggest challenge is just the amount of work required and the amount of emotional energy you have to pour into it. Every night provides an opportunity for transcendence but also for complete failure. It’s exhausting and amazing all at once.

We had the pleasure of hearing you sing live, you’re an incredible singer! Will your next album be featuring more of your vocals?

Thanks for saying that! I definitely have written a bunch of material that I’m singing on and I hope to be on a lot more Goldroom material moving forward!

Sydney based photographer Cameron Mackie is back on C-Heads with a breathtaking new exclusive series starring Lucette. A wonderful summer story filled with breaking the rules, ignoring your head and following your heart.

“This fun shoot came about after I had gotten home from travelling through Europe for a couple of months mostly in the mountains. I’d been away from the salt water for a while and hadn’t shot any portraits that whole time. So the first thing I wanted to do when I got home was grab my friend Lucette, head to one of my favourite out of the way beaches, have a relaxed day under the warm spring sunshine, and then just to shoot whatever we got up.”

Olga Urbanek is a Polish photographer who has been based in Iceland for the past couple of months – a place that can immediately be recognized on her stunning images, with its magical and lonely countryside. A place that attracts you to retreat, discover and marvel at its ungraspable beauty. “I have been deeply and affectionately in love with photography for as long as I can remember. The thought, however, of being on the other side of the lense has not occurred to me. Now , I can’t picture it being any other way. My work, in brief, is dirty and quiet. It’s been captured in Iceland where I have been residing for the last 4 months. It’s a fantastical realm, even despite the weather that always warrants a complaint. But the way I see it you simply got to get used to it and do your own thing. Iceland is a place of strange magic that has the power to change lives and characters. That’s what it has done for me. Here, every new place I uncover leaves me in awe and makes me think – this is life at its purest moment, now, here and the rest has no meaning.”

“Friday night you can find me in bed with my super cup of tea watching movies or series” Barbara Maldonado of Civiles, Argentina and Karin Models, Paris is a real sweetheart and – as you already know – one of our most favorite models.

This time the Buenos Aires beauty shows off her sweet side to Argentinian photographer Martin Levi for C-Heads. “We shot at my apartment. Sometimes you don´t need make up or a stylist, you just need a private photo shooting with the perfect people. We had met previously in París, and we did a little session in the streets and some bars. I loved working with her, it´s not only about her eyes, it´s all about the way she looks at life. She brings out this visceral but kind feeling in you. One straight look of her is enough to get you kind of shy. This photographs were made with no artificial light on a cold Sunday, just before sunset. I think our mood that day really reflects on the photos.” We are over and over falling in love again.

Lara Snow is an electro-pop songstress from Tel Aviv, who’s released her debut single “I Like Snow” (Collaborated with Safra) earlier this year. After Lara’s rock band broke up, she started recording demos for her songs and then started collaborating with local producer Safra and drummer/producer Jonatan Harpak. Soon after, the three released their first collaborated single “I Like Snow”, The video was shot in an abandon house covered with graffiti by some of the best Israeli street artists.

Photographed and interviewed by Lauren Engel

Tell us about your upbringing in Tel Aviv and how did it shape the person you are now?
Growing up in Tel Aviv is definitely a unique experience. It’s a beautiful place, filled with music, art, great food, great nightlife and awesome people. Everyone here are really friendly, worm & open. I guess this influenced my personality a lot and made me more open, spontaneous, out there, “don’t take no for an answer” kind of a person.

What is the Israeli music industry like? What genres are popular?
The Israeli music industry is not very big, though it has some amazing artists in it and it keeps growing all the time, especially over the last few years. The popular genres here are very wide. We have it all starting Israeli pop, Mediterranean music and all the way to every Alternative genre you can think of.

How have you seen music in Tel Aviv change in the last few years?
From my point of view – growing up it was all about Punk, later on we had a big wave of Dub Step & Drum and Bass and then came the alternative & Indie. Now it’s kind of a mix of these + a lot of funk, soul & Rock’n’Roll.

Do you find it difficult from living in Tel Aviv to crossover into American and European markets? Why?
I think it’s definitely harder for artist from TLV to crossover to those markets, mostly because we didn’t grow up there; and we are less familiar with the scenes there, that’s why it’s harder for us to navigate in those places, but it’s not impossible, if you work hard and study the market, you should be able to harmonizing there.

How did you get into singing and producing?
I started singing when I was 2 year old, so I guess you can say I’ve been singing since I can remember myself. A couple of years ago, after my band split, I was very sad about it, and a friend suggested that I would go and study production, so I could be the “Boss” of my own music, and so I did, and I’ve been learning ever since. I wouldn’t call myself a producer just yet, but I am very much involved with the production of my music. I put my world and vision into it.

What music did you listen to growing up? Who were your biggest inspirations?
As a child, I was listening to a lot of pop music. Growing up, as a teenager I was a rebel and was all into Punk & Rock. Later on came the Alternative and electronic music into my life and I just fell in love with it. So I guess what I do now is kind of a mix between all of these. Some of the artists that have influenced me the most during my life are: Radiohead, David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Muse and Bjork. And in the past few years I find a lot of inspiration in: Grimes, Die Antwoord, FKA twigs, M83, Twin Shadow and many more.

Would you say growing up in Tel Aviv gave you a certain perception on the music you make?
Yes, growing up here definitely influences my vision & sound. Thought I have to say, I get most of my inspiration from European and American music & literature.

What inspired you to start your own project–Lara Snow? Is that your original name?
Lara Snow is a stage name I gave myself. It came out of a need for me to be a better & more glamorous version of myself. Also she came out of a need for me to do something that is truly mine. Just to put my vision & heart out there.

How do your songs ‘I Like Snow’ and ‘Walls’ portray your personality?
It’s funny that you’ve asked specifically about these two songs because they both touch the same subject – being young and confused, finding yourself around people that bring you down and make you kind of lose the real you & become a new you, that you don’t really like anymore. For me those songs are a symbol of a person becoming free, and overcoming the difficulties that other people bring into their lives. I guess they reveal the fighter inside of me.

What inspired your ‘I Like Snow’ music video?
The “I Like Snow” music video was shot in an abandon house in Jaffa, covered with art by some of the best Israeli street artists. We wanted to create a video that connects with the power in the song. The wolves in there are an image to those demons around you, weather they are real or only in your imagination, that are trying to bring you down, and how you are trying to stand up to them and to be a better person.

What is your perception about real love?
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
and sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell’s fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan’s men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you’d return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)”
― Sylvia Plath

As soon as I saw Taku on the lineup, I knew that this was a rare opportunity. To those out there who aren’t familiar with Taku, he’s more of a ‘behind-the-scenes’ guy, not out there headlining shows which I’m sure he could but having his head down–owning his own barber shop and turning into a well known street photographer. This night was all I thought it would be–I savoured every moment. Every moment was put together, from the visuals to every beat and bringing out Wafia his singer. Towards the end Flume was the surprise guest and the crowd freaked out as he tested his new material on us.

London based photographer Wanda Martin is currently graduating at MA Fashion Photography course of London College of Fashion and is looking for contributors for her final master project ‘Lovers’ who she can photograph during the next couple of weeks.

“In this personal project my aim is to explore the nature of sexual fluidity and show the similarity between different kind of (heterosexual and homosexual) relationships through photographing couples of our contemporary youth culture. I started my project from the point of view of Gender Studies and also I keep researching and discovering the key themes of my interest as the questions of subcultures, youth culture, gender, androgyny, sexuality and love: ‘identity as a construction’, concept of bricollage in our post modern age (both sexual and subcultural identity) In my project I try to celebrate Love par excellence and show that love and sexuality doesn’t depends on sex or gender, only on persons. In my photography project I’m shooting couples in their own rooms, in their private zone. The project is still ongoing and keeps trying to investigate the nature of sexuality, love and identity.” overs photography project – identity – youth culture.

I went to the 4th annual Beach Goth Fest at the Observatory in Santa Ana and here are some things I saw: cute teenage girls with pink hair and backpacks crying (for Mac DeMarco), Wanda Jackson killing it at age 78, hot band dudes dressed in Drag, Drag Queens (Dress up?) evocatively eating a hot dog and on top of this Ford Archbold from Tomorrow’s Tulips told me his sexy Halloween fantasy was “beer”.

Organized by Orange County native band The Growlers, the 4th year has turned the former DIY Halloween party into a festival destination. The insanely good lineup this year, which included headliners like Mac DeMarco, Grimes, Julian Casablancas and Parliament Funkadelic, has taken this baby-fest into the next gear. The Growlers played both nights and there were crazy performances from the beautiful Wanda Jackson and The Mummies, who were dressed as, duh, mummies. Costume or not it worked.

The All Ages culture in the suburbs surrounding LA has been prevalent and growing for a long time. Influenced heavily by the Punk movement people of all ages are able to access a thriving music scene that (in some ways) kicks 21+ events butts. The Growlers, who grew up in this part of California, are now feeding the frenzy that likely helped them to grow into their current position in the music industry. That being, that they are really fucking good and have produced seven albums in the last five years. Beach Goth is the name of the festival, but also the name of the movement. It may sound counter-intuitive but that’s exactly the beauty of it. The juxtaposing stereotype sets blend together to make the perfect sound that is just different enough.

We all love the headliners but here are some of the bands you may have missed that I think you should listen to.

SWMRS
Mr. Elevator & The Brain Hotel
Tomorrows Tulips
Cat Signs (Growler’s member Anthony Braun Perry’s side thing)

Interview and Photography By Francesca Beltran

It’s a sunny Saturday afternoon in New York City and Alex Brettin, the mastermind behind The Mild High Club, is sitting carefree on the pavement outside of Pianos. He’s feeling tired but pleased; the musician just finished playing another successful CMJ set inside the packed venue, where he delighted the audience with excerpts from his recently released debut LP, Timeline. I sit next to him on the street (quietly cursing my choice for a skirt) and we begin chatting about his drifty music and the challenge of now doing this project on his own, as opposed to recording and touring with other bands like Ariel Pink, Mac DeMarco and Silk Rhoses, like he’s always done.

Truth is, Brettin is every bit as chill and easygoing as his soft rock tunes. During our conversation, I learn about his fascination with the Internet and of his honest appreciation for the talented people around him. An unassuming and sensitive guy; Brettin is on a quest to materialize the songs inside his head, while trying to figure out his place on this planet. When our conversation ends I bid him farewell, sincerely wishing him good luck on both accounts.

What was the best moment during the recording of Timeline?

Probably when I made the song “Timeline.” It was like 2:30 in the morning and I got out of bed with this song in my head, and I went and recorded it all that night. That was really when I thought, I need to make an album out of this. It was a test to my will to see if I could whip something out like that.

If you could describe an ideal timeline of your life how would it go?

That’s the thing; I don’t even know. I’m so confused by this world; I’m still trying to figure out what I’m even doing here. In terms of the timeline, what I would expect is to live as long as I can to get as much out of this world before I hop in to the next.

Why did you choose that title?

I had a bit of a head trip on this Facebook timeline feature, and identifying yourself, and creating an identity, and creating what you want to seem to be. It’s all about identity and self-awareness I guess.

Why did you decide to write a record on your own?

Well, I had been playing on a couple of bands at the time and I found that it was difficult to sort of get a group mentality going; I just wanted to get what was on my mind out and not wait on some democratic thing. I wanted to expedite the process; but that being said, at this point I’m back to just wanting to bring different minds into the situation to heighten the music.

You’ve toured and worked with a number of musicians in the past; what’s the hardest thing about doing this project on your own?

It’s liberating. Even though it’s not something that I necessarily want to keep to myself. The concept of The Mild High Club is a collective group of people that I’m inspired by and who enlighten me with their talents and ideas. It started out with me kind of messing around, but it has developed into this sort of group hive mind thing and I just happen to be stirring the ship. Which is cool.

What’s the most important thing you have learned from working with other musicians?

Listening. And just patience and really just trying to fully remove my ego and remove my sense of self so that I can just absorb what they’re saying and what they mean. I’ll always be the student and I’ll always feel that anyone can teach me anything, so as long as I keep that mentality with people, it seems to yield meaningful results.

Is there someone in particular that you would like to work with?

I’d like to work with Paul McCartney; that’d be cool. Or Steely Dan. I’d just like to have a lesson with them, you know?

Looking into the future, how would you like to be remembered?

I would like to be remembered by my name. I’d like to be remembered for songwriting. I never had this rockstar dream; it was novel for a second, but this world is so obscured, the music industry and all that, it’s hard to even know how to calibrate my effect and who I’m reaching. My aspirations now are to just to get to the point where I can really pull anything that I hear in my head out of it. That’s the goal.

You dedicated your last song to one of your biggest influences, who is it?

That would be Steely Dan. Still learning everyday from their music, I have yet to get bored from any of their compositions.

How do you want people to feel when they listen to your music?

Well I don’t want them to get mad, that’s for sure. Anything else I’m down with. I didn’t intend for them to feel anything really, I just hoped that at least one person out there gets inspired to do something.

I would go with her to the end of the earth.

Ladies and Gentleman. Please meet gorgeous face Eloisa. Her looks are so unusal and incredibly special that we are not quite sure if she is from this world. Her intriguing presence makes this exclusive story into a real eye-catcher and if this other world exists, we wouldn´t mind to be taken there by her. Photographed by Atisha Paulson in Brooklyn.
