Here’s a preview of what’s inside the latest 5 Mag:

🔴 The Cover Story: Black Motion: The Last Chapter & a New Beginning. The South African duo celebrates 10 years of healing music with a groundbreaking album and a brilliant remix of the St Germain classic “Sure Thing.” Because the last chapter marks a new beginning.

🔴 #TheMic: Nikki O: This Is Some Detroit Fire. Her voice is the fuel for underground eruptions from Moodymann and Alton Miller to Javonntte and now an album with UK soul disciple thatmanmonkz. Nikki O has left her mark on some of the best deep house records of the last fifteen years.

🔴 Namaste Bros: Superstar DJs and Plague Raves in Paradise. The party never ended for the rich — or the superstar DJs capitalizing on slack lockdowns in Mexico. But they don’t seem eager to talk about it.

🔴 Dance Loud: This Moment & The Next. The Chicago-based duo Dance Loud survived adversity to release their best work. After “The Moment,” they’re just getting started.

🔴 Angel Moraes: Life In Stereo. Brooklyn-born & bred, the producer, DJ, club owner and sound engineer leaves behind a staggering legacy in the house music scene. Plus: SELECT: 16 Essential Tracks from Angel Moraes.
