Route One Presents : Locals Only

Apr 2015 by Route One

We love the community who make each of our R1 stores a fun place to work, shop and hang out. In each issue we introduce you to some of the regular store lurkers who have now become friends...


R1 BRIGHTON
3 Bond Street, Brighton, BN1 1RD
T: 01273 323633

Name: Chris Hall / MC ID
What do you do: MC/front man for Sub Focus, Ram Records and many more. I’m also artist manager at Identifiable Management representing artists Capsun and Klax.
How long have you been shopping at R1 Brighton: 11 years now. It’s always had a great community feeling and they’re really accommodating. They’ll always order you in a size or style if they don’t have it in stock at the shop … I like that.
Favourite brands at R1? Nike, Vans, Kr3w, Diamond, Brixton
What’s the best thing about Brighton: I really hold dear what a melting pot of different people call Brighton ‘home’. So many creative people have made the city really shine and it has a freedom of expression like I’ve never seen.
Plans for 2015: I’m currently building my management company so that’s a huge focus at the moment. I’m also touring with Sub Focus here, the USA and beyond.
