Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked Uffie to share a taste of her taste on Perfectly Imperfect.

Uffie is Miami-born musician & internet icon from the bloghouse-era who brought us electropop classics such as “Pop The Glock” and worked with everyone from Pharrell to Justice. After releasing the eclectic & fun Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans she went on a nearly eight year hiatus and dropped her sophomore album just last year, produced by Toro Y Moi & Lokoy, titled Sunshine Factory. The record is full of dancy punk bangers such as “where does the party go?” and moody pop cuts like “cool”. Uffie tells me that “a new era is coming,” and lucky for us, she’s here to tell us what she’s been into.

⛽️💧 Refill your well

Between socializing, traveling, working, and just dealing with life… we drain our wells. It’s imperative to refill it. For me, if I am on a big creative output, like working on an album, touring, etc… it’s really important to go to live shows, an exhibition, something to refill that creative hole I’ve expended. If I have a big week of socializing, it means spending a day in bed and not looking at my phone or socializing with anyone…losing myself in a book or binging an entire series behind my duvet.

🙇🏼‍♀️ Floor time (preferably on moss) 

Life gets incredibly busy and hectic… taking a moment to ground yourself is important. Someone once told me if you lie on your back with your knees bent for 10 minutes, it realigns your spine… but I find it realigns my brain as well. I don’t have the focus, dedication, or patience to meditate, so I do this instead.  If you're able to find a patch of moss, it just brings it to the next level.  Don’t question it, just try. 

📽️  Projections during dinner parties 

I really enjoy cooking for people I love, and throwing a dinner party that runs late.  A good playlist is key, but if you really want to set a tone, I highly suggest projecting a film (without the audio) to sync with it.  My personal favorite is “Le Planet Sauvage.” 

🧳  Carry on luggage  

I’ve had the same Rimowa carry-on suitcase for 12 years at least. I bought it in the old Berlin Tegel airport during a layover when my then-staple broke. Trust no airline with your essentials while traveling… especially these days… and with the right packing technique, you’d be amazed what you can fit in those overhead angels. 

🪩💊 RAVE

NEVER FORGET EXERCISE IS IMPORTANT KIDS. Pop that pill or that pussy, share a journey with your best friend, discover new horizons. The dancefloor can transport and transform you. Be bold, be reborn, and spread the love. Just keep it positive.
