It was a treat to chat with the minds behind one of the coolest and most significant stores in rave and NYC history. From the early 1990s until the close of its second location in 1999, Liquid Sky was a clothing shop, a record store, a hang-out zone, a permanent art installation—it was a lot of things to a lot of young people, the grandest of countercultural “third places” the 90s saw. Their store merch was home to Claudia Rey’s one-of-a-kind pieces of street fashion (a lot of it predating the term itself), and to Carlos “Soul Slinger’s” expertly curated vinyl selections, much of it exclusive DJ imports that became a ground zero for British jungle and avant-garde breaks for NYC and, indeed, America.
