🔴 CONTENTS — INSIDE 5 MAG #220:
❇️ Jamie 3:26: With Love from the Chicago Underground.
Jamie 3:26 lives in Rotterdam but he was made in Chicago. A conversation with the deeply influential DJ and producer on Chicago politics and why DJs here hustle hard, on moving to Europe, on edits and the culture of crate digging and why banning phones may just save the scene, even if we have to learn how to party together again.

A year after her death, a new album shines a light on the music of Liara Tsai: a portrait of an artist on the verge of a breakthrough.
