Earlier this year, Vice Magazine and Hot Chip launched a competition for the Creating Sense5 Competition, aimed at photographers, designers, musicians, artists and DJ’s. Submissions were made to Vice, with the winners to play a launch gig curated by Hot Chip. Squidge Mag were lucky enough to score tickets to the event, held in The Arches at London Bridge. The event was also a launch party for the new ’5′ range of chewing gum from Wrigleys.

To be honest, the event was awesome. The free glow sticks and free drinks at the start created a perfect beginning to the evening, followed by some great acts, notably PLANNINGTOROCK. Hot Chip played two live sets, one of which was supported by Kano, and we were also treated to performances from The Penny Serenade, Raf Daddy and Noze.

One other amazing aspect came from the winners of the ‘Smell’ category, who created an “edible forest”, full of different smells, sounds, tastes and visuals. However, we spent much of the time outside with the winning entry for the touch category from Sharon Crew, who created an outside tunnel lined with string curtains, with holes in the side for people to grab through. As you can see from the pictures it was much fun…
