On the heels of the recent developments regarding UNKLE & SiLLY THING’s relationship comes another piece to the puzzle. Seen here are two upcoming collaborative releases in the form of T-shirt.01 and the Original Artform Mix.

The Original Artform mix represents UNKLE’s musical mark on SiLLY THING and its customers. Each year, SiLLY THING links up with various artists (Akagi Kan of (B)ape Sounds was last years participant) to offer up a mix CD as a giveaway to customers. Both items along with the mesh trucker hat will be available on Saturday.
