the company was registered in 1863 , appearing in provincial stock exchange reports from 1864 .

it developed into coal mining , owning several collieries and also into chemical production , first from those available from coal tar distillation , later to cover a wide and diverse range .

part of the plant at staveley was a sulphuric acid manufacturing unit making use of the contact process .

it was during the years of world war 1 that the company developed its chemical operations beyond coal-tar chemicals and began production of sulphuric and nitric acids .

during the war they also made picric acid , tnt and guncotton .

following the end of hostilities the company laid plans to develop a range of chlorinated organics and to this end purchased salt-bearing land near sandbach , cheshire .

the salt was produced by a new company formed specifically for the purpose and named the british soda company .

the salt being needed to feed a new installation of mercury cells at the staveley works .

the first cells at staveley came into operation in 1922 and in 1926 they went into partnership with the krebs company of paris and berlin to develop a new cell , which was based on lessons learned .

this was marketed worldwide as the krebs-staveley cell .

this installation lasted into the late 1950s when the cellroom at staveley was replaced with german-made mercury cells .

another salt-related product was sodium chlorate .

staveley coal and iron company were the first company in britain to manufacture this chemical , with the plant becoming operational in 1938 .

in 1950 , the staveley iron and chemical company was named by imperial chemical industries as one of their main competitors in caustic soda production .

in 1960 the staveley iron and chemical company , which had been taken over by stewarts & lloyds limited was merged with the ilkeston-based stanton iron works to form stanton and staveley ltd . in 1967 stewarts and lloyds became part of the nationalised british steel corporation , stanton and staveley also being incorporated .

by 1980 bsc sold off sections of the site as they divested themselves of non-core activities and by 2007 most of the former works at staveley has been shut down and cleared .

the only plant remaining now is a p-aminophenol plant that produces active ingredients for paracetamol production .

the site ceased production in june 2012 , marking over 100 years of chemical production at staveley .

the worldwide brand of staveley chemicals has finally been laid to rest .

the site has since been demolished .

the former chesterfield mp eric varley was an apprentice with the company in leaving school before he became a trade union man and then latter became chairman of another local firm coalite .

sailing wear is a type of clothing for sailing .

it protects the sailor from water and insulates the body on board a vessel .

there are different types in use , the most premier sailing wear is the offshore set used for the open seas .

usually offshore sailing wear consists of special shoes or wellington boots , a pant with suspenders , a jacket with a high collar , and other increasingly technical layers worn underneath this outerwear .

in addition , specially designed gloves made with synthetic leathers are worn for protection and to increase holding power on sheets .

marine footwear is extremely important in order to stay safe while sailing .

sailing wet-boots are designed to keep the sailor 's feet dry and can be either rubber moulded or more technical .

the most common range of fabrics are gore-tex and leather .

all of the 100 % waterproof marine boots have non marking , slip-resistant soles in order to avoid any damage to the vessel 's deck .

all boots require thermal socks as the rubber does not provide enough warmth .

technical boots have a minimal insulating lining which is why socks are well advised .

here’s a short guide on what to wear when you are learning to sail a dinghy… .
. walking around , often at speed on a slippy , moving surface could be dangerous so get some sailing shoes with serious grip . decathlon stock all the sailing clothes you need to get you in ship - shape for sailing . we stock a
the real physics of sailing are so deep and so complex , people are still debating it .
editor’s note : guest blogging for producer joan johnson is quest team member and sailing fanatic sandy schonning .
if you are planning on going sailing in a dinghy , you’ll wear very different clothing than say learning to sail a yacht . mainly because you are far more likely to get wet on a dinghy than a 30 - footer .
staying warm is key . as soon as you get cold , your mood and sailing ability drops rapidly .
so you are heading out sailing for the day . it’s your first time . what should you wear ? the key with wearing the appropriate clothing is checking out the weather on the day and where / how long you are heading out for .
whether it’s cold or not , it’s often useful to wear sailing gloves , especially if you are thinking of starting racing . when your hands are cold and wet , it becomes even more painful to tug on sheets and keep a strong grip .
if you are learning to sail in a dinghy and it’s pretty windy , wear a wetsuit . you’re likely to capsize and a wetsuit will keep you warm once you are wet . if you just wear ordinary clothes , as soon as you’re soaked , you’ll feel the cold .
in the cold weather , bring a woolly hat . some sailors prefer to wear a drysuit in winter . this is an entirely waterproof suit with tight rubber seals around your neck , ankles and wrist . so you can wear ordinary warm fleecy clothes underneath , even if you fall in the water , you’ll stay bone dry .

okay , back to tuesday morning . the buzz moved over to my desk… the shoot was supposed to show a group of beginners on a sailing lesson , but the family that was booked for this purpose had suddenly cancelled that morning . could i fill in ? i considered my clothes… skirt , heels , not really sailing clothes . and moving all those meetings… but a day on the bay… the beautiful , sunny , windy bay . plus , sailing with an instructor , there is always something to learn about sailing , how could i pass this up ? okay when are we leaving ? no wait , what am i going to wear… isn’t there a west marine near the sailing school . can we stop to get me pants and a pair of shoes ? yes , that’s how much i really wanted to go out that day , i bought new clothes to do it .
in hot weather , it’s always a good idea to wear a hat , sunglasses and suncream . the sun will reflect off the water , so it’s easier to get sunburnt on the water than on land .
pick out the right sailing clothing from decathlon’s superb range of adult and children’s clothes . when preparing for a day’s sailing you will need warm yet lightweight clothes that stay close to your body ( so that they don’t get tangled in any boating ropes or equipment ) as well as a waterproof , wind breaker layer on the outside .
it was another average tuesday . i was sitting at my desk , looking at my calendar . another day of budget meetings , returning emails , reviewing contracts , yawn . the usual buzz of production was going on around me , a crew going out to do a story about… sailing . ah sailing , my favorite topic . my husband and i had recently moved both ourselves and our tayana 37 up the coast from long beach . okay , a well - qualified captain had actually moved the boat to san francisco for us… but since polaris had gotten here , we had become a bit obsessed about bay sailing . sailing in socal had not prepared us for the currents , tides and winds of the bay , so we tried to get out there as much as possible .
anyway , it was over too quickly – and then it was back to my meetings . but i’ll tell you the biggest surprise of the whole experience : i though the physics behind sailing were pretty simple – a little bernoulli principle , a little lift generation . but what i learned made my head spin . it turns out that most of the simple explanations of sailing physics are ‘helpful models’ that make sailing understandable to sailors . the real physics of sailing are so deep and so complex , people are still debating it . if you’d like to see what i mean , check out arvel gentry’s website . gentry was an aerodynamicist for 40 years , is an avid sailor , and an america’s cup boat designer . his technical papers will give you an idea of what’s really going on .
they are great pieces of kit , but pretty expensive at around £200 - 300 new , so we wouldn’t recommend buying one unless you know you are definitely going to be sailing regularly in the winter .
it was a great day on the bay . stan , our instructor from the sailing school , was great at explaining the physics behind why a boat sails . at the direction of the producers , i asked every sailing question i could think of . who has the right - of - way , what is this line for , what do we do when the wind blows harder ? okay , i knew many of the answers , but i babbled on anyway . was i having fun ? in much of the segment , i have the goofiest grin on my face . i wish i had a job that took me sailing every day…
musto’s world - leading expertise is showcased in this exceptionally engineered sailing clothing collection . featuring advanced gore - tex® waterproof apparel , windproof fabrics and water - resistant treatments . designed for the ocean racers , inshore cruisers and dinghy sailors .
these are yachty’s friends—producers , rappers , and usually both , collectively known as sailing team . there’s burberry perry , the producer yachty calls his “left hand , ” and k $ upreme , the rapper yachty calls his “right . ”
a waterproof and windproof sailing cagoule or spray top is perfect for wearing on top of your wetsuit on cold , wet , windy days or just on top of your regular t - shirt or rash vest to keep the wind off .
if it’s winter or you are chartering a yacht , sailing boots are preferable . these are usually at least ankle high and are made of thicker neoprene and rubber to keep you warmer . they are also more durable than thin neoprene booties .

i can’t believe it , but i’m explaining memes to the 18 - year - old rapper lil yachty : “wait , are memes and gifs two different things ? , ” he asks me to clarify . it’s not that yachty , whose music career has exploded in the last two months in part with a huge boost from a viral video , doesn’t understand memes ; rather , the language of online sharing and the hyperbolic enthusiasm that comes with it is so baked into the way he communicates it seems beside the point to dissect it . moments earlier , telling me about his upcoming mixtape , which is coming out “so soon , ” he quips , in what might as well be an fire emoji - laden tweet , “guarantee you ' re gonna have to wear oven mittens when you download it . ”

8 . slipknot : # 0 – # 8 real identity : sid wilson , paul gray , joey jordison , chris fehn , jim root , craig jones , shawn crahan , mick thomson , corey taylor origin : the original idea to wear masks was inspired by a clown mask that crahan would often bring to rehearsals . the group decided to take the concept further by wearing matching jumpsuits during their performances as well . the jumpsuits , along with their numbered aliases , are intended as a commentary on the commercialism of the music business . reasons to hide : like daft punk , slipknot attributes their use of masks as a way to divert the attention away from themselves onto the music . yeah , terrifying costumes are a sure - fire way to be inconspicuous . “it’s our way of becoming more intimate with the music , ” vocalist corey taylor told ny rock . “it’s a way for us to become unconscious of who we are and what we do outside of music . it’s a way for us to kind of crawl inside it and be able to use it . ”
2 . buckethead real identity : brian carroll origin : buckethead was raised by chickens , according to his official story . he lived in the coop with them on a farm run by evil owners . one day , the chickens scratched his face off , but buckethead didn’t care . that just meant he got to wear a mask everyday like on halloween . the bucket came into his life when the evil farmers threw a bucket of fried chicken into the coop . buckethead tried to put the poor chicken back together again , but he just couldn’t make it work . of course the most logical thing to do then was to start wearing the bucket as a hat . buckethead started playing guitar to add a soundtrack to the horror and sci - fi movies he would watch at the drive - in theater through the hole in the farm’s fence . the drive - in was too far away for him to hear . now buckethead travels the world playing his songs and informing the public about the terrible things his feathered friends are being subjected to in fast - food restaurants around the world . reasons to hide : when asked about his mask by mtv news , buckethead simply replied , “there is no mask . ”
it’s not hard to see why yachty embodies that idea for so many people , beyond his own astute approach to engineering his rise . artistically , he’s like a younger , slightly more focused version of the pioneering viral rap stars of a half - decade ago—lil b , riff raff , tko capone—whose music threw wacky , unpolished ideas out to see what would stick . the images accompanying many of his songs are bad , candid photos that highlight his hairstyles and oufits—the cover for the collection containing “1night” looks like a snapchat screengrab . and his music , at its most fascinating , veers well off the now relatively safe path of woozy , washed - out trap melodies into odd discursions and vocal experiments , although always with a positive , upbeat underpinning . in some cases , his songs become almost ambient compositions , as on the transcendent “remember december . ” the internet’s promises have long been to connect people , make information more accessible , and remove traditional gatekeepers ; the floodgates have broken , and lil yachty is sailing those waters with skill .

the outer layer in the 3 - layer system should be highly protective : safeguarding you against the elements while keeping you visible . garments featuring gore - tex® supply this ultimate all - weather protection whilst being supremely breathable . this makes gore - tex® garments highly suited to active people . for a cost - efficient alternative , musto’s br2 technology offers a comparable level of waterproof protection and breathability .
your lightweight mid - layer builds on the temperature regulation of your base . but it also protects you from the elements . breathable and lightweight , the mid - layer should be water - resistant and fast - drying while offering complete freedom of movement . look to garments featuring primaloft® . this insulation feature technical properties such as water - resistance , fast - drying times and a light weight comparable to down .
the foundation of your kit . an effective base layer should trap air next to the skin , minimising the loss of body heat . perspiration also transmits heat up to thirty times faster than air . that’s why a base layer needs to be breathable , wicking and fast - drying : merino wool and thermal fleece are ideal base fabrics . choose highly wicking and mildly insulating materials when engaging in aerobic activities in cold weather . our active base layers have been designed for these periods of high energy .
high - performance accessories complete your outfit and give you the edge out on the water . musto thermal and fast wicking caps and hats keep the water and sun away from your eyes , while the premium footwear , gloves and socks ensure that you sail in complete comfort . wherever the journey takes you , stay prepared with a waterproof holdall to keep your kit safe and dry .
on a hot sunny day on a calm lake , you’ll be fine wearing ordinary shorts and t - shirt to sail ( plus a buoyancy aid and neoprene shoes - see below ) . if it’s windy , even in the height of summer , you’ll need more than a tee to keep you warm and dry .
it’s important to always bring enough layers to stay warm . it might seem balmy on land , but when those breezes pick up on the sea , you’ll get cold fast .
wetsuits work by trapping a thin layer of water between your skin and the neoprene . your skin heats the water creating warmth even when wet .
we particularly like helly hansen’s new black line full wetsuit - it ' s specifically made for sailors .
summer sailors might be able to get away with a shortie wetsuit in the uk . skiff suits - with no arms and long legs - are also great in the summer because they allow a lot more movement in your arms .
gloves are great for preventing friction burn on your hands as well as keeping them warm and protected . these gloves from gill are great for grip and dexterity .
a buoyancy aid is essential for any sailor - beginner or olympic standard , like ben ainslie . if you are knocked overboard , it will keep you afloat .
it’s not worth buying a brand new buoyancy aid when you first learn to sail because anywhere you are hiring a boat or taking a course will provide buoyancy aids for you .
however , if you know you want to sail regularly , then it might be a good idea to buy your own . new buoyancy aids range from £25 to £70 in price . we like this one from henri lloyd . make sure you attach a whistle to flag up attention in an emergency .
oh , and always bring a spare change of clothes . the number of times we’ve gone out wearing our only set of clothes and had a wet car journey home afterwards… .
foul weather gear has the challenging task of protecting active boaters from rain , spray and rogue waves . but , if these were the only requirements , we’d all be wearing simple slickers . in addition to external water protection , foul weather gear must also offer a wide latitude of ventilation options due to varying exertion levels , must offer freedom of movement for active wearers , must be able to withstand the marine environment ( including rough nonskid surfaces , chemicals and salt ) , and should be comfortable to live in for extended periods of time .

several musicians have been known to take on an alternate persona as part of their art . david bowie became ziggy stardust . garth brooks became chris gaines . heck , robert zimmerman became bob dylan when he was trying to be woody guthrie . but other musicians have gone farther as to conceal their true identity by physically masking themselves whether it be with make - up or even an actual mask . here’s a list of some of the biggest , the story of how they came to be and the reasons behind their facade .
1 . daft punk real identity : guy - manuel de homem - christo and thomas bangalter origin : “we did not choose to become robots , ” thomas bangalter reportedly once said . “there was an accident in our studio . we were working on our sampler , and at exactly 9 : 09 a . m . on september 9 , 1999 , it exploded . when we regained consciousness , we discovered that we had become robots . ” there you have it . reasons to hide : although the dj duo rarely grants interviews , bangalter has stated that the initial reason for the band’s anonymity was due to shyness . however , the band has also mentioned that they choose to conceal their identities in an effort to avoid compromising their personal lives and to keep the attention focused on the music .
real identity : joel thomas zimmerman origin : zimmerman’s moniker was inspired a dead mouse ( surprise ) that he found in his computer one day . the story began circulating in chat rooms , and he was constantly referred to as “that dead mouse guy . ” after that , zimmerman changed his username to deadmau5 , using the number to shorten his handle for the chat room’s guidelines , and the name stuck . reasons to hide : deadmau5 doesn’t like being called a dj . he feels that the term is highly - antiquated and an improper description of his approach to music . what better way to set yourself apart and prove that you’re different from the rest than by wearing a giant smiling mouse head that flashes lights to your beats ?
4 . kiss : starchild , the demon , space ace , catman real identity : paul stanley , gene simmons , ace frehley , peter criss origin : the makeup of each member of kiss is inspired by their individual personas . the starchild is a hopeless romantic and starry - eyed lover . the demon is a cynic with a dark sense of humor . the space ace is a reference to frehley’s love of science fiction , and the catman was inspired by the fact that criss felt he had nine lives due to the rough brooklyn neighborhood he grew up in . reasons to hide : kiss started experimenting with makeup and costumes early in their career after being inspired by theatrical bands like the new york dolls and alice cooper .
5 . insane clown posse : violent j and shaggy 2 dope real identity : joseph bruce and joseph utsler origin : the mythology of icp centers around the dark carnival ) , a type purgatory in which souls are sent to be evaluated based on their individual actions before they proceed to heaven or hell . reasons to hide : scary clown makeup is badass , right ? just ask any juggalo .
6 . blue man group real identity : chris wink , matt goldman , phil stanton ( original lineup ) origin : little is known about the blue man group’s back story . however , sources tell us that they are blue , they don’t talk and they put on incredible performances involving music and art . reasons to hide : two words : tobias fünke
murdoc nicalls is the bassist and founder / leader of the gorillaz . he recruited lead singer 2d after murdoc was sentenced to 30 , 000 hours of community service as 2d’s caretaker for injuring him during an attempted robbery of the keyboard shop where 2d worked . murdoc kidnapped russel from big rick black’s music shack to be the drummer for the gorillaz , and noodle arrived in a fedex crate on the band’s doorstep after the group placed an ad for a lead guitarist in
albarn and hewlett originally came up with the idea for the gorillaz in 1998 when they were watching mtv . the cartoon or “virtual” band was intended as a commentary on the lack of substance on the music - television network .
9 . doom ( formerly known as mf doom ) real identity : daniel dumile origin : before the release of the second album of dumile’s group kmd , the band was dropped from their label , their album was shelved and dumile’s bandmate and younger brother was killed . shortly after , he left new york “recovering from his wounds” and swearing revenge “against the industry that so badly deformed him . ” with the release of his debut album in 1999 , mf doom was born . reasons to hide : as we know from doom’s infamous impostor performances , wearing a mask has its perks especially if you enjoy sitting back and letting someone else do all the work while you rake in the dolla - dolla bills , ya’ll . doom may want to consider finding a new mask to conceal himself from unhappy fans .
10 . gwar : oderus urungus , flattus maximus , balsac the jaws of death , beefcake the mighty , jizmak da gusha real identity : dave brockie , cory smoot , mike derks , casey orr , brad roberts origin : the scumdogs of the universe were an elite group of chaos warriors who wrought havoc all across the cosmos until they were banished to earth for their crimes . since then , gwar has made it their mission to not only destroy the human race , but existence itself . reasons to hide : gwar was originally created to be the opening act for a band called death piggy . the idea was that gwar ( in actuality , the members of death piggy in costume ) would perform an absurd barbaric set making death piggy look like a better band . as it turned out , the audience began coming to death piggy shows purely to see gwar , only to leave before the headliner took the stage .

the 18 - year - old atlanta rapper has become a viral sensation with songs like
1night ,
but his sound is also at music ' s unmoored , sonically playful cutting edge .
yachty’s claim probably deserves the benefit of the doubt . in just the last couple months , the atlanta artist has become one of rap’s most buzzed - about new names , an avatar of the genre’s contemporary , unmoored sound and visual aesthetic with a dizzyingly fast - growing listenership and a growing roster of clutch industry connections . his new manager coach k— who previously managed young jeezy and gucci mane , and also manages migos —claimed that yachty’s soundcloud has been getting 400 , 000 plays a day , putting him among the service’s most streamed artists globally .
that seems plausible , given that his biggest hit , “1night , ” has been played nearly 1 . 5 million times just in the last week , in the same neighborhood on the service’s charts as recent songs from kanye west and future . oh , also , speaking of kanye , yachty recently posed as one of the most prominent models in yeezy’s madison square garden fashion show , his distinctive red - beaded hair matched to a red sweatshirt , quite literally an icon for the youth .
alongside similarly young , social media - adept artists like playboi carti and lil uzi vert , yachty is making music that feels native to the internet and the artsy kids who comb its new trends with hyperactive intensity . he is unmistakably young : when he visited the vice office recently he answered questions alternating between the shy , bored reserve of a kid being called on in class and the youthful enthusiasm of a teenager full of creative ideas in a new setting . he describes a half - dozen things— from vhs tapes to the yeezy fashion show to surviving for a summer in new york with an ebt card—as “lit” and offers suggestions for how to embellish a video of our interview with floating giant boat emojis .
“it ' s not like i ' m a hardcore rapper , ” yachty explained . “i do , like , bubblegum trap beats . ” much of the credit for that sound falls on producers like burberry perry , who made the beat for “1night” and who has a fascinating if small rap catalog of his own . “i always thought it was if you sat down and you watch powerpuff girls or something like that , and you try to throw that on trap drums , so it could be bubblegum trap , i guess you could say that , ” perry added . “but for me , personally , i just always try to make it happy . i always make happy music , or try to like put core emotions into it . ” the two only met about a year ago through a mutual friend , when neither had much going as far as music . they ' re a natural pair : yachty is the more outwardly animated one , while perry is quieter and more sardonic , but both are winningly genuine .
“i remember him saying he was a producer , ” yachty said . “and his friend is like , ' nah , you don ' t want to hear his beats , his beats suck . they ' re not good . ' i said , ' so play it . ' and he played the beat , and it was like the best beat i ever heard . ” perry , who started out making beats on rudimentary web software and has since graduated to the semi - sophistication of fl studio , riffs quickly on ideas—he made the “all times” beat in eight minutes—and comes up with the melodies for many of the songs the two work on together . yachty credits perry for exposing him to an 80s retro pop sound and helping him discover and tap into the aesthetic that he then sought out for songs like “water on my face” or “minnesota . ” perry credits yachty for having the vision : “i don ' t want to say nobody liked [ my sound ] , but nobody gravitated to it until i met yachty . yachty ' s the only one who really picked up on it . ‘cause like i said , our mutual friend , he used to say that my music sucked , or my beats sucked . all the beats didn ' t suck : they ended up being—they ' re really popping . ”
to get popping , yachty had a plan that’s both sophisticated and likely to send adults into a tailspin of panic about how the world works these days . as a high schooler growing up in the west side atlanta suburb of mapleton , he was drawn to cool clothes and photography—his dad , who spurred his love of music and bands like coldplay , is a photographer who has worked with many of atlanta’s biggest musicians . but yachty began making parody songs on his computer , and his interest in music grew . by his senior year of high school ( which , incidentally , was last year ) , determined to make it with music , he drew up a plan to spread his brand . among his goals were to have a song with a viral video—inspired by the memetic success of og maco’s “u guessed it”—and to get to know some of the coolest kids with the biggest online followings , who could then share his songs . he’d met ian connor—the instagram fashion celebrity , occasional muse of kanye west and a $ ap rocky , and now manager of playboi carti—in the airport the year before and they’d traded numbers after ian had been impressed with yachty’s supreme coat . when yachty graduated high school , he moved to new york for the summer to crash on a friend’s couch and try to get into the type of fashion circles influencers like ian ran in .
“i mapped out all of the core internet kids , like popular kids that i wanted to meet , ' cause i knew if i met them , i could get them to distribute my music , ” yachty said . “ ' cause the cool kids have all the cool followings . everyone looks up to them , you know what i mean ? whatever they ' re doing is cool . ” with his red , beaded hair—a style he adopted at the encouragement of his mom , who’d originally made him cut his braids so he could get a job at mcdonald’s—and sharp fashion sense , yachty stood out and made those connections . but he didn’t have the buzz to really make money and support himself in new york . at his mom’s urging , he went back south and enrolled in college at alabama state . he hated it .
discouraged by the bullying and bored with classes , yachty dropped out and returned home , where he followed the same plan he’d cooked up in new york : “i started getting so known , you know what i ' m saying , for the way i dress , for my teeth , you know , i got a grill , ” he explained . “everything , just my hair , girls started liking me . ” then , at the very end of 2015 , he caught a break , in the form of a joke video that went wildly viral on twitter . suddenly , he was seeing a million plays a day on soundcloud , and good opportunities kept arising . connor introduced him to a $ ap rocky , who has become a huge fan , and took him to new york for the yeezy fashion show . he’s found himself enthusiastically covered on music blogs and in the pages of the new york times , held up as a model of the snapchat and instagram era of rap .

sure . the only problem is that the wings need to be at a higher angle of approach due to the non symmetric wing shape . the up - side - down wing does however give lower efficiency as the wings are usually optimized for best lift / drag ration in the normal flight situation 🙂
sorry i didn’t respond earlier , i have been out of the country . but as the second blogger points out , aerobatics planes have symmetrical wings , so can generate lift in either orientation . however with symmetrical wings a greater angle of attack is required for it to generate lift . and that’s about all i know about that . 😉

spend a day in atlanta with the red - headed rapper with the new nasal flow .
just days after a surprise modeling appearance in kanye west’s yeezy season 3 show , the 18 - year - old rapper lil yachty is back home in atlanta , getting his hair outfitted with red beads , as is his trademark . the barbers in the salon call him by his first name , miles , and know him well enough to chide his recent success . “i’m bootlegging your tracks , ” jokes a barber . “got that yachty mixtape for $ 5 ! ” yachty laughs , enjoying a rare moment to relax between a series of studio sessions . “oh , miles , ” the barber continues . “i don’t know how it happened , don’t care . but i’m proud of you , boy . you scared me for a minute , but i’m proud of you . ”
back in atlanta , now , yachty and his friends finish up in the studio and head to the masquerade , where they’ll all perform as part of a showcase of underground atlanta talent hosted by ilovemakonnen’s producer danny wolf . the furniture in the green room appears to be permanently flattened and embedded with cigarette smoke from shows past . no one wants to sit down , so they set their sights on food .
yachty suggests pepperoni pizza , which , according to all of his close friends , is the only thing he actually eats—that , and thin mints , the girl scout cookie . someone else suggests sub sandwiches , which yachty immediately vetoes , jokingly announcing , “subs are for substitute niggas . ”
everything seems to be branded for yachty , from his diet , to the red beads , to the nautical theme that permeates his entire persona . he wears almost exclusively vintage nautica ; his signature ad - lib is the self - referential “lil boat ! ” he’d actually wanted to pick up a sailor’s suit for tonight’s show at a thrift store , had time permitted . add it all up , and his attention to consistency in these little details seems to reach even beyond the scope of say , chief keef’s iconic gucci goggles , or soulja boy’s penchant for bapestas . it’s as if , at 18 , yachty has absorbed their influence and distilled it , writing a secret set of rules that runs alongside his joyful , seemingly boundless music . it almost seems calculated , but when i ask him to explain he responds simply , and with a smile : “i’m just fire . ”
lil yachty plays in new york this tuesday , february 23 . get tickets here .
