More From Issue #206:
Jojo Baby #RIP. Help us honor the life and art of one of the most magical people that ever lived.
EdLetter: The White Label. A life preserver as we drown in an ocean of shitty AI-generated art.
Screen Play. Phil Kieran and the making of The Strand Cinema.
The Nowhere Man in Nowhere Land. Accused of sampling classic hip hop and house tracks, the copyright infringement cases against the artist formerly known as Kanye West are going about as smoothly as you would guess.
Metropolis, Metropolis. Jeff Mills' new album celebrates the visuals and the vision of Fritz Lang's classic science fiction film.
Coflo: Catching The Ghost. Coflo was a dancer when he became a DJ, and a DJ when he became one of the finest music producers to emerge from the Bay Area in the last decade. But he practices all three at an exceptionally high level — incorporating dance and movement from the American style of house dance and the Afro-Brazilian art of capoeira into the music he plays and the music that he makes. 5 Mag's Czarina Mirani profiles the artist for this issue's 5 Mag cover story.
The Mixdown: Alland Byallo. Will Sumsuch speaks with producer Alland Byallo on the craft and kit behind his music, his personal and creative turning points and the importance of unplugging and reconnecting with the pure joy of music for music's sake.
Ravenomics: Meet the New Boss of Bandcamp. While posing as the defender of artists and "the creator economy," Bandcamp's new owner paid the largest fine in history for manipulating users into unwanted purchases and violating rules to protect children.
Code Rush. Code 041 is another brilliant musical excursion from the wildly eclectic but always on point DJ Rocca.
Copyright Control. A new copyright body was created last year to cheaply and easily file infringement claims, but few musicians or music rights holders seem to be aware of it.
