From Having a Baby to Cutting a House Album: Logic1000 Talks the Process Behind Her Debut LP
Logic1000 has been a professional musician for a decade, but she’s never released a full-length album. Although that’s far from standard practice, the DJ has never adhered to timelines apart from self-imposed ones. That extends tor her personal life too – three months after giving birth, she was touring the world, baby in tow.Back in 2019, Logic1000, who was born Samantha Poulter and went by DJ Logic at the time, got her first taste of virality after Four Tet played her namesake dance track "DJ Logic Please Forgive Me.” In the five years since that viral moment, she rebranded to Logic1000, relocated from Melbourne to Berlin and released two EPs plus a handful of singles. It wasn’t until the birth of her first child that the DJ felt provoked to put out her debut album. After wrapping up the...

Takashi Murakami “Mononoke Kyoto” Tells Stories of the Old City
“Mononoke Kyoto” is Takashi Murakami’s latest large-scale solo exhibition in Japan — the first one in eight years no less. Held at Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art, the show features over 160 new works that were created for the museum’s 90th anniversary, and especially at the request of its general manager Mr. Shinya Takahashi, “one of a handful of people involved in the art industry in Japan that [Murakami] truly trusts,” as written in the introductory text at the opening section of “Mononoke Kyoto”.Even with a team behind him, creating so many new works is no easy task. “Normally, to realize such a vision the museum would make arrangements to borrow existing works from museums and collectors abroad, but this time, they wanted to avoid the expensive shipping costs and associated insurance...

How The Speed Project’s Nils Arend Created the Hardest Relay Race on Earth
Running isn’t an “extreme” sport, at least not in its typical form. Line it up next to mountain climbing and bungee jumping, and a jog around the neighborhood — or even a trail run — is comparably tame, however, like with any physical activity, there are the rare few that will take it to extremes. For a small but growing sect of the running community, a marathon simply isn’t enough to scratch their itch for the sport.Nils Arend has created his own tribe of go-hard, die-hard runners with The Speed Project (TSP), an unsanctioned 340-mile relay-style race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. In 2013, Arend, then in his early 20s, relocated from his home country of Germany to Los Angeles with little English and a dwindling bank account. “Running became my safe place,” Arend says. “I was exploring th...

serpentwithfeet’s ‘GRIP’ Is Not an Album, but a “Mosaic of Intimacy”
“How do you act when you're in the club, dancing and trying to be hot in public, and you run into someone who knows you better than literally anyone else, who knows your mom, who knows what you’re allergic to?" serpentwithfeet ponders.This is exactly the sentiment the enigmatic artist explores on his new album GRIP.In his own words, GRIP is a "mosaic," that assesses how we experience intimacy. Influenced heavily by the Black queer nightlife space, serpent surveys the different ways we feel closeness, both in the public realm – on the dancefloor, in the club, at the bar – but also in the more overlooked moments."There are so many moments in the album that aren't literally about physical touch, but rather a symbolic closeness and how we grow closer to other people," he explained, referencing...
