Very nice publication that has recently released their 8th issue (available in select shops and through their website). Each issue explores themes of record culture, DJ culture, and general music things. Lots of great interviews and photos dealing with these various topics...I also currently have a drawing featured in their latest issue :’)They have some very sweet merch as well, and are soon offering a subscription option.

they just put out their first print issue and managed to wrangle some very fun writers (from hannah baer to ed park, some deisgn by pippa garner) into writing some very interesting essays and stories. super charmed by the fact that it is printed on a kind of very thick newsprint? a unique tactile experience.
its like eight bucks and they'll ship it to your lovely little home, wherever it may be.
also this is a great question thank you for asking it.

I genuinely believe Crack is the only music magazine on plant earth that has their finger on the pulse of what’s actually popping. Every cover interview is fantastic and relevant + I’m always put on to new artists that end up having an incredible year after being featured. The gig guide is 10/10 if you live in London and it’s also FREE every month.

Very fun, sample-based sequencer/synthesizer. It has provided me with lots of fun this winter, I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to make some sounds.

One of the people running Bar Part Time (Jeremy) was one of your first guests I believe, so I dont feel the need to get into toooo much detail about everything they do (basically, it’s a wine delivery service based in the Bay Area who I’ve done a bit of illustration/design work with.) But since then, they have bought a brick and mortar spot that will be open hopefully by the end of summer, and they’ve also started a really sweet series of mixes with different DJs/wine lovers. They’ve got mixes from some awesome musicians/djs/producers (Yu Su, Ade Kassim, Suzanne Kraft, Earth Boys) that all seem to pair quite well with a nice glass of wine. Lots of new exciting mixes coming from them soon as well.

Great show up at New Museum, originally curated by Okwui Enwezor, who passed away in 2018 before it was completed. Themes of mourning and grief shown through the works of thirty-seven artists such as Kerry James Marshall, Carrie Mae Weems, and Kara Walker. (Pretty heavy show, but well worth the feels...)
