The clean, minimal design of Fatboy’s waterproof light offers more than style. A spherical bulb enables uniform lighting from all angles in each of its three dimness settings. The ties add color through a range of bright and neutral hues, but they’re also durable and flexible to make transporting and hanging the light easy. Even the silicone buttons (which recharge the light via a USB cable) smoothly blend into the versatile design.

When London’s rave scene began in the late ’80s, it ignited a culture around uninhibited style, the Roland TB-303 synthesizer and blissful hedonism. More than wild revelry, the scene—dubbed acid house—became a meeting place for people across genders, sexualities, class and race. That unity is revealed in former The Times editor and photographer Dave Swindells’ book Acid House As It Happened. Swindells, who followed the scene from its infancy to today, chronicles the explosion of the subculture through photographs that show how acid house exposed people to new ideas and ways of being. Price is in Euros.

Designed for all genders, Nina Chanel Abney’s new collaboration with Nike’s Jordan brand sees the contemporary artist applying her signature style to basketball iconography. Though all the bright, bold pieces in the capsule collection inspire (including the covetable Air Jordan High and Low 2 SE), the hoodie, with puff-print graphics on cozy fleece fabric, is certainly a highlight. Chanel Abney grew up in Chicago and collected basketball cards and Bulls memorabilia, which underscores the authenticity of the collaboration.

In 2003, iconic Atlanta-based hip-hop duo OutKast—aka Big Boi and André 3000—released their split album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below wherein each artist created their own record, but released them as one. Big Boi’s 808-driven Speakerboxx leans into southern hip-hop via electronic and soulful flair. On the flip side, André 3000’s The Love Below overflows with eccentricities, combining R&B, electronic, jazz and funk. Altogether, the 40-track album—available as a 4LP vinyl set—remains a powerhouse.
