We’re Working With Aaron Fahy & Arnold Park Studios On An Exclusive Merch Drop
The commemorative tee will be available exclusively at our pop up shop on Thursday the 5th & Friday the 6th of December (from 7-9pm) on a first come first serve basis.
Last year, we ran four iconic hip hop Cyphers in collaboration with Jack Daniels with some of the most exciting rappers in Ireland. The first event, held in “The Playground,” set the tone, bringing together electrifying performances that we’re still talking about today. Videos from all four gigs capture the raw energy and talent that made these events so special. To celebrate these gigs, we’ve teamed up with two of our favourite tee shirt wizards: Aaron Fahy and Arnold Park Studios.
Known for its durable, graphic-led clothing and meticulous craftsmanship, Arnold Park Studios is a Dublin based apparel brand that creates timeless pieces designed to age beautifully and remain wardrobe staples for years.
Lil Nas X and Tyler The Creator are fans of Aaron Fahy‘s, and so are we. Aaron is a mixed media artist from Waterford, with an iconic style of art which centres mixed media work using a mix of illustration, collage, and video. Our last tee shirt collab with Aaron, raising funds for Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, was featured in the Irish Times Hot list.
The T-shirt design riffs on the aesthetic of vintage bootleg hip-hop merch while incorporating elements of Jack Daniels’ branding. It imagines what it would look like if a classic JD tee doubled as promotional merch for hip-hop artists, a perfect project for APS whose brand revolves around reinterpreting logos. The design is built on a collage created by Aaron, featuring stills from each of the four gigs. This visually dynamic approach ties together the energy and artistry of the cyphers into one wearable keepsake.
Sound too good to be true? Well, there is a catch: the T-shirts will only be available for two nights at exclusive pop up events on 3 Eustace Street. On Thursday the 5th of December, the first 20 people through the door at 7pm will get a complementary t shirt, the rest will be sold until we are out. If you can’t make Thursday, don’t stress, on Friday we’ll be opening up again for those who might have missed the signing event. There will be a DJ spinning tunes and free drinks all evening. It’s your only chance to grab this collector’s item, so clear your calendar.
This project isn’t just about a T-shirt—it’s a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and a year of incredible music. Whether you were part of the cyphers or want a piece of the energy they created, this exclusive drop is a must-have for fans of hip-hop, design, and everything in between. Don’t miss it!
