🔴 CONTENTS — INSIDE 5 MAG #210:
🔴 Levon Vincent: Sacred Geometry. According to its creator the story behind Levon Vincent’s latest album, Sacred Geometry, is not a complicated one. “2023 is about no narratives for me,” he says. “Just tracks. I am just making tracks for DJs.” 5 Mag spoke to Levon about the making of his latest record and all of the others.
🔴 The Cover Mix: One A. This issue’s cover mix from Gehno Aviance, a DJ and producer with, deep, deep roots in America’s electronic music scene.
🔴 Remembering Teri Bristol. Every city should have their own Teri Bristol. Chicago was lucky, and selfish, because kept her for ourselves.
🔴 Breaking Bandcamp. The music industry is reeling after a new owner takes over and fires 50% of staff. An inside look at three chaotic weeks that transformed music’s most beloved platform into a hollow shell.

🔴 Some Guy Built His Own LM-1 Drum Machine. Growing out of a love of the machine and the music made with it, Joe Britt’s Luma-1 will be produced in very limited copies to mirror Roger Linn’s original magic box.
