</p><p><strong>Okayafrica: How would you describe the phrase "yoh" to our readers?</strong></p><p><strong>YOH!:</strong> 'Yoh' is a South African colloquial exclamation proclaiming excitement or surprise in some way. "YOH! thats crazy!"</p><p><strong>OKA: When and how did you start throwing your parties?</strong></p><p><strong>Patrick Visser:</strong> The first party was at a small venue called Hectic On Hope in August 2012. I was doing pop-up cult/classic film screenings around town and decided to combine it with a friend's design label and incorporate our passion for music. It was going to be a once off thing, but the response to the first one was really great, so we did a second one and the rest is history.</p><p><div class="dfp_atf-slot" data-not-loaded="true"></div><script type="text/javascript">

</script></p><p><strong>OKA: What are some good films that have come out this year?</strong></p><p><strong>Patrick:</strong> I love film, but I've really been slacking this year and have mostly watched films that I missed from the last few years. I recently watched 2012's <em>The Act of Killing</em> which was very good. I quite enjoyed <em>The Third Person</em> even though it's gotten mostly terrible reviews. I knew nothing about it beforehand and was pleasantly surprised.</p><p><strong>Ra-ees:</strong> I liked the Lego movie.</p><p><strong>OKA: What's the best dressed street/neighborhood in Cape Town? In Johannesburg?</strong></p><p><strong>Patrick:</strong> I don't really associate streets with best dressed people, but I guess a lot of people would associate Kloof Street in Cape Town with that and perhaps a street in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. I'd have to see more streets in Joburg to determine that to be honest.</p><p><strong>Raees:</strong> Hmmmm probably Kloof.</p><p><strong>OKA: When did you decide to expand into clothing?</strong></p><p><strong>YOH!:</strong> We dabbled in clothing for the first time in December 2012 with a few t-shirt designs, but started to be more serious about clothing as a real possible venture at the end of 2013.</p><p><strong>OKA: Who did the designs featured in the YOH! lookbook?</strong></p><p><strong>YOH!:</strong> Raees did the designs for the lookbook with input and feedback from Patrick.</p><p><strong>OKA: Where in SA do you sell your clothing?</strong></p><p><strong>YOH!:</strong> We have decided for the time being to sell exclusively on our <a href="http://yohstore.com/" target="_blank">online store</a>, however we also do pop-up sales at spaces every now and then and at our parties.</p><p><strong>OKA: What's next for YOH!?</strong></p><p><strong>YOH!:</strong> More (regular) clothing releases, some collaborations, YOH! products/accesories, STR CRD (Africa's premier street culture festival) and bigger parties than ever before.</p>
