Each issue of No One sets out for a different city and reports on the queer nightlife it finds there.

In this issue:

How Lô Tô brought trans artistry to Vietnam’s mainstream
Inside Vietnam’s burgeoning ballroom scene
The queer artist who dances with a motorcycle on her head
Club nights, cave raves, ballroom functions, villa gatherings, beach parties, and more
And lots of photography from the cities’ clubs, streets and queer spaces

Steve Watson — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 13:03:41 +0000

A contemporary music magazine based in Lucerne, Zweikommasieben is as experimental and exciting as the artists it reports on.

In this issue:

Dancehall queen Lateena Plummer on “dominating” Switzerland
Divide and Dissolve on invoking their indigenous ancestry in live performances
The art of staging Children of the Light
Christian Marclay reflects on 40 years of fusing fine arts and audio cultures

Pilot issue 3

Steve Watson — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 17:14:50 +0000

Pilot’s third issue is not a magazine in the conventional sense. Sitting somewhere between a zine, a poster and a board game, it’s printed on an A1 sheet, with a poem on one side and on the other a series of short articles arranged around a board game layout. The theme of the issue is ‘Play’, and it’s an invitation for readers to look beyond the conventions of magazine publishing, towards something more playful and rebellious.

In this issue:

Producer Hudson Mohawke on the making of his new album Cry Sugar
Select pieces from clothing brand Smuttysnack’s latest collection
Q&A with the founder of Instagram’s Indie Sleaze
Inside the community of London’s Dunno. Curated.
Plus a set of postcards with illustrations by Lou Buche and Javier Rodriguez
