A mighty hefty issue of this fantastic magazine – full of interviews with artists and musicians about their record collections – and put together with loads of lovely full color photographs throughout! The book-style publication is very unique – as it goes way past music production and standard record collecting narratives – to focus on the way that people interact with the records they bring into their homes – served up in really well-done interviews that are peppered with photos – in a full color presentation that's over 200 pages in length, with hardly any ads. This time around, the issue features interviews with DJ Harvey, Ariel Kalma, Jun Takahashi, Pedro Winter, Moxie, Pierre Rousseau, DJ Sundae, Max Essa, Sofie, and others – all of whom have very different tastes, and very different takes on music!

Always essential reading from the Wax Poetics crew – one of those magazines we wouldn't miss for anything, and which we proudly store on our shelves as if it were a book! And sure, they upped the price a few bucks this time around, but the journal is still a total bargain – all color, filled with great images, and packed with writing on the sorts of subjects few other music magazines ever touch! This time around, features include Build An Ark, Funky Cuba, Hot 8 Brass Band, Mighty Hannibal, Eddie Harris, Newcleus, Derf Reklaw, Chuck Brown, SOUL, and Camp Lo – and as always, there's plenty more cool little bits too.
