‘Learning from, not longing for, the past’ This exciting new launch surveys pop culture, looking back at a different era every issue through contemporary reports published in the music and youth culture press. In a rejection of linear canonisation—the inaugural issue looked at the post-punk eighties—issue two turns its attention to the period spanning 1979-1997, with cross-genre reports on The Mudd Club from Rolling Stone, Chicago’s ‘House fever’ from The Face, and Britain in ’94, when Jungle was massive, in i-D. Plus there’s a wonderful set of photo stories, including Steve Eichner’s heady documentation of the halcyon days of New York’s Club Kids, and Eddie Otchere’s love letter to London’s grassroots creativity at the close of the decade.
