Music

Welcome to Yaeji’s world

The NYC-based artist talks us through her new mixtape What We Drew 우리가 그려왔던. Merging anime, club music and Korean culture with help from her inner circle of collaborators, the project feels like a warm hug between friends.

Richard Russell’s life in 19 totemic tracks

As the founder of XL – the British record label that brought us The Prodigy, Dizzee Rascal, Adele, The White Stripes, Tyler, The Creator and more – releases his new multi-artist album under the name Everything Is Recorded and publishes his memoir, we take you on a wild ride through 30 years of groundbreaking music.

Griselda: the hip-hop group who beat the odds

Volume 4 Issue 3: Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine and Benny the Butcher formed more than 15 years ago, developing a gnarly sound inspired by the slimy criminal underbelly of Buffalo, New York. In a landscape of youthful, Auto-Tuned rap stars, they stand out like ugly ducklings.
