Brand new cultural journalism magazine, music and history. After all of the fun had - and, if we may brag a bit - the acclaim for NWB001, we're back with a follow-up. So here's NWB002. Our start and end points shift this time (1979–1997 vs 1977-1989) but again the focus is on extraordinary moments in music and subculture. We've got pieces from The Face, i-D, Time Out, Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Mixmag, The Observer and - a particularly big pleasure - Collusion magazine. We've got brilliant photography, too, documenting seminal afterdark moments. And we've put it all together with much love, craft and attention to detail. This is material that lets us experience culture in its rawest form. In-the-moment and before endless layers of post-rationalisation have kicked in. Breakthrough events in dance music, hip-hop and pop – and parallel shifts in art, design and fashion. Inspirational, ground-level creativity and enterprise that set the scene(s) for subsequent decades.
