Pop Magazine – Issue 44

Spring/Summer 2021

A magazine for the generations of genuinely chic women and men who understand that fashion is a wonderful prism through which so much of contemporary creativity and cultural change is refracted. We’re living in a time of a new world order with fashion as a vibrant language. These are the days of POP.

Besides providing botanical content in a simple, personal and cozy way; The Plant offers plant lovers a new look at greenery by featuring the works of many creative people who share our love for plants.

As a curious observer of ordinary plants and other greenery, the magazine presents a monograph on a specific plant; bringing together photographers, illustrators, designers, musicians, writers and visual artists, both established and emerging, from all over the world.

These people share with The Plant their unique perceptions and experiences of plants.

Wir verbinden Musik mit den emotionalsten Momenten unseres Lebens. Das erste Konzert, das erste Festival, der Song zur eigenen Jugend. Musik lässt Menschen inspirieren, träumen und neu erfinden. Dass Popkultur und Musik Menschen erreicht und bewegt, haben schon viele Unternehmen erkannt. Eine tiefergehende Symbiose mit der Musik einzugehen, geschweige denn eine langfristige Beziehung zu der einzigartigen Welt des Pop aufzubauen, gelang den wenigsten. Dass seit 20 Jahren ausgerechnet der ehemalige Staatskonzern Telekom mit »Electronic Beats« eine der zentralen Plattformen der elektronischen Musikkultur etabliert hat, ist keine Serendipität und zugleich eine Geschichte voller interessanter Wendungen, Enthusiasmus und glücklicher Entscheidungen.
Davon erzählt dieses Buch, vermisst neue digitale Räume, denkt über die Zukunft der Musik und ihrer Technologien nach und hinterfragt kritisch die Mechanismen und Verantwortung dieser Industrie.
Mit Beiträgen von Honey Dijon, Billie Eilish, Bryan Ferry, Ellen Allien, Daniel Wang, Lars Eidinger, Stefan Marx, Ji-Hun-Kim, Whitney Wei, Max Dax, Marie Staggat, Sven von Thülen, Lisa Blanning, Jan Wehn, Jens Balzer, Gunseli Yalcinkaya, Laura Aha, Thomas Venker, Aida Baghernejad, Jens Gerrit Papenburg, Anika Meier, Tim Bruening und vielen mehr.

This year, Telekom Electronic Beats celebrates its 20 year anniversary with the production of 304-page, titular book exploring the intersections of electronic music, media, and culture across the program’s storied history, as well as carefully contextualizing the role and function of brands within consumers’ lives. The Electronic Beats book hosts such longform features and essays on: the role of brands and music in a post-label era, the women pioneers of electronic music, how the dance floor is today’s religious congregation, the development of music in games, virtual escapism during the uncertain year of 2020, among other topics and interviews.
The book includes the contributions of key figures within the EB universe including Honey Dijon, Billie Eilish, Bryan Ferry, Ellen Allien, Nina Kraviz, Daniel Wang, Dixon, Transmoderna, Lars Eidinger, Ji-Hun Kim, Whitney Wei, Max Dax, Gunseli Yalcinkaya, Derek Opperman, Anika Meier, Tim Bruening, Serhat Işık, Benjamin Alexander Huseby aka GmbH and many more. Alongside these texts are exclusive photo galleries and drawings by the artist Stefan Marx, who also designed the Electronic Beats cover.
Along its varied history, Electronic Beats has united coverage of mainstream artists like Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, and Depeche Mode with new underground talent like Fauzia, TYGAPAW, and Nazar. Its core formats, too, have evolved, from a print magazine to a fully digital platform and shifted from Slices, a monthly DVD series, into weekly YouTube productions. Today, Electronic Beats connects a global community of producers, DJs, fans, and music-lovers alike with its engaging social media arms, podcast series, weekly newsletters, and video channel—all revolving around the program’s heart electronicbeats.net.

INTERVIEW #535: “Cardi B” - 
March 2021

Only @iamcardib has the right to doubt Cardi B. Her debut album, 2018’s "Invasion of Privacy," was the result of talent that can’t be denied; an instant silencer of skeptics who believed her historic hit, “Bodak Yellow,” was a fluke. Her chart-topping single last summer, “WAP,” was further proof that, at the age of 28, the Bronx native doesn’t just get the culture—she sets the culture. And yet, as she puts the finishing touches on her highly anticipated sophomore album, the self-described “strip-club @mariahcarey” still needed a little pep talk.

Wonderland Spring 2021, Gwen Stefani

Ushering in the dawn of a new year, a new album and a new era, cultural icon Gwen Stefani covers the Spring 2021 issue of Wonderland talking love, lockdown and making new music. The hitmaker has tried her hand at practically every genre on the map — from a fusion of ska, rock, and reggae in her early days as a No Doubt frontwoman, to offerings ranging between pop and country as a leading solo entity — and at the end of last year, she announced her calamitous return to the musical fore with her latest single, “Let Me Reintroduce Myself”. In true Stefani fashion a fun and fantastical video followed, taking us on a playful visual retrospective of her most iconic looks — the varsity vest and fishnet pairing days of No Doubt’s “Just A Girl”, the classic 50s polka-dot masterpiece she dons in the video for “Don’t Speak”, and the oh-so-00s full-fringe glamour of “The Sweet Escape”. Tracing her career from her debut record Love. Angel. Music. Baby. to her recent collaborations with fiancé Blake Shelton, Stefani reflects on the evolution of her creative process, setting out her hopes for the year ahead and all the success to come.

Also covering the issue, Hollywood royalty Salma Hayek speaks to Camila Morrone about her illustrious career so far and new film Bliss, as well as fighting for progression in the industry, how happiness is rooted in simplicity and why, if you have a creative mind, you should never be bored.

Packed with all the rising stars to know across music, film, and fashion, elsewhere in these pages we meet supermodel Winnie Harlow, teen queen Maddie Ziegler, Euphoria actor Algee Smith and Fate: The Winx Saga star Danny Griffin. From New York, rising actress Whitney Peak lets us in on the top-secret filming process for the highly-anticipated Gossip Girl reboot, while London-based singer Tiana Major9 talks us through her upcoming releases and Chloë Grace Moretz catches up with her friend and collaborator Charlize Theron over Zoom.

The Weeknd

It feels like since 2011’s ‘House of Balloons’ The Weeknd hasn’t sat still. Whether it’s mega world tours or, you know, releasing forty records in under a decade, the Canadian’s kept himself busy with his unique fusion of pop, hip-hop and r&b.⁠ On the eve of his first mixtape’s tenth anniversary, we’ve joined forces for an exclusive Special Edition zine, featuring 100+ pages of images and quotes, printed on premium paper.⁠

Das Wetter #23

Es ist einfach logisch, dass Sahar Enissa Amani früher oder später in einer Wetter-Titelstory auftaucht. Immerhin schreibt sie seit Jahren für ihre Standups witzige, ballsy Punchlines, war (neben vielem anderen) die erste Deutsche mit einem exklusiven Comedy Special auf Netflix und behandelt neo-faschistische Arschlöcher so wie sie es verdient haben. Und so kam es, dass unsere regelmäßige Autorin Miriam Davoudvandi sich im Dezember 2020 mit Enissa Amani traf, um endlich mal über (wirklich) alles zu reden. Einige Tage später fotografierte Neven Allgeier Enissa dann zunächst in der Städelschen Gemäldegalerie in Frankfurt am Main und dann im zweitgrößten Hochhaus der EU – dem Frankfurter Messeturm. Dort wiederum posierte Enissa vor der Skyline jener Stadt, in der sie mit ihren Eltern aufwuchs. Das Ergebnis? Standesgemäß, we guess.

Darüber hinaus gibt es wieder mehrere limitierte Titelstories. Die Hefte mit diesen Covermotiven bekommt ihr exklusiv in diesem Onlineshop und in einer Handvoll ausgewählter, unabhängiger Magazin- und Buchläden:

- LAYLA. Wir trafen die Rapperin, die 2020 trotz Corona einen ganz schönen Buzz um sich kreieren konnte, kurz vor Ende des Jahres, um über Power und Fragilität, Frausein und natürlich über HipHop zu sprechen.

- FARHOT. Der Hamburger Produzent ist erst der zweite Mensch, der zum zweiten Mal das Wetter-Cover ziert. In diesem Heft zeigt der in Kabul geborene Ausnahmemusiker, welche Filme und Musikstücke sein neues, sehr persönlich-biografisches Instrumentalalbum inspiriert haben.

- AVA VEGAS. Ebenfalls 2020 auf den musikalischen Plan getreten, macht Ava Vegas hervorragenden, melancholischen Pop. Wir fuhren mit ihr und ihrem Auto Ende 2020 raus an den See.

Darüber hinaus in Das Wetter #23: Ein Treffen mit Public Possession in München. Collagen von Pola Kapuste. Ein Porträt der Gestalterin Hannah Kuhlmann. Ein Spezial mit Text- und Bildbeiträgen zu den wundersamen Qualitäten von FEHLERN (entstanden in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Goethe-Institut Los Angeles). Drei Texte zum 10. Geburtstag des Operndorf Afrika. Plus: El Hotzo, Mithu Sanyal, ein Auszug aus einem neuen Theaterstück von Jan Wehn, neue Folgen von »Google Docs« und »Sammlung Simonow«, Dagobert, Injury Reserve & ein Text über jungen Rap aus Basel. 

Mit Texten von: Miriam Davoudvandi, Nina Damsch, Caroline Elsen, Sascha Ehlert, Bonn Park, Zelal Yesilyurt, Julius E.O. Fintelmann, Till Wilhelm, Teresa Guggenberger, Leonhard Hieronymi, Jan Wehn, Johann Voigt, Fid Fischer, Paulina Czienskowski, Aino Laberenz, Christoph Schlingensief und Rahima Gambo.

Mit Bildern von: Neven Allgeier, Meklit Fekadu Tsige, Svenja Trierscheid, Christian Werner, Jonas Höschl, Maximilian Holzenburg, Till Wilhelm, Luis A. Krawen, Paula Otten, André Simonow,  Carolina Carballo, Marina Hoppmann, Pola Kapuste und Maria Keller.

INTERVIEW #534: “Lakeith Stanfield” - 
Winter 2020

In a year defined by distance, few entertainers have worked harder to connect with their fans—both in front of the camera and directly, on social media—than LaKeith Stanfield, our Winter 2020 cover star. The star of such films as Short Term 12, Knives Out, Get Out, Sorry to Bother You, and the TV series Atlanta, his latest role as the FBI informant William O’Neal in Judas and the Black Messiah, is, as he tells the actor Idris Elba, the hardest he’s ever played. In their candid and searching conversation, the actors, who star in the upcoming Netflix movie The Harder They Fall, also discuss the therapy of rap, the beauty of infallibility, and the necessity of Black brotherhood. Meanwhile, Hollywood legend Glenn Close tells her friend Whoopi Goldberg, why, after years of bringing so many memorable characters to the screen, she has no regrets. The writer Cazzie David, who has built a career on cataloguing  her most debilitating embarrassments and insecurities, connects with her friend, the pop superstar Lorde, to discuss tabloid culture, casual sex, and their friendship forged on the internet. Then, the writers Kimberly Drew and Jenna Wortham talk to the filmmaker Janicza Bravo about their new book Black Futures, which gives voice and breadth to the Black experience in today’s America. Elsewhere in the issue, Adam Sandler can barely contain his excitement while talking to his friend Aubrey Plaza about her mind-blowing new role, while comedy’s not-so-secret weapon Maya Rudolph breaks character long enough to answer questions from 26 famous friends and admirers. We also make contact with the one and only Joan Didion, who answers some questions from the writings of Andy Warhol, while the supergroup Red Velvet take Diplo inside the world of K-Pop superstardom. All that and much, much more.

Sorbet - Winter 2020/21, Issue 30

Sorbet’s Winter 2020/21 issue is a few parts dirty, a few parts 30, and most parts, a party to mark our milestone 30th issue, and celebrate the end of 2020. We talk to celebrity event planners about how to downscale in size but upscale in style; we bring you stories from the most monumental parties in history; we celebrate men in dresses; and provide a menu fit for a 30th bash, designed by our dear friend Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno. We shot a house party in Jeddah with Gucci and Saudi songstress Tamtam, a beach party in the Emirates, a party in the jungle with Chanel, and a hundred balloons with Bottega Veneta. And would you even believe it, our cover star Monica Bellucci first stepped off runways and onto the silver screen 30 years ago. For this celebratory issue, master photographer Ellen Von Unwerth captures the Italian actress as Madonna in her most iconic video, ‘Material Girl,’ surrounded by sparkling rocks and strapping lads. Mamma mia!

Wonderland Winter 2020 Issue

A celebration of extraordinary Black voices, and the first chapter of i-D’s 40th anniversary issue (1980-2020).⁣

Comes with different covers.

Get Familiar Magazine Issue 02
Interviews with: KATHY IANDOLI - CHIKA - RONAN BENNETT (TOP BOY) - RAPSODY - DRILLMINISTER - TEAMARRR

Number of Pages: 36
Dimensions: 190 x 290 mm

Get Familiar is an independent and award-winning print magazine founded on the premise of celebrating everything that is hip-hop. We believe that hip-hop's increasing importance in business, marketing and consumption, warrants a platform that treats the genre's greater footprint, and not only its music, accordingly.

Without requiring you to be a fan of the music, our interviews and articles tell the universal stories of global tastemakers active in a wide range of industries - using hip-hop as the vehicle through which we address past, present and future socio-political issues. From music to literature and photography to politics, we strive to have our content reflect the versatility of the genre's influence.

zweikommasieben Magazin #22

A number of contributions in the new issue of zweikommasieben relate to the past in some shape or form, and they conjure it in different ways. An approach that seems adequate, since the year 2020 might have given momentum to a nostalgic way of looking at the world. In an interview, the Australian duo CS + Kreme talks about how they still feed off the energy of an alchemic jam they had at the very beginning of their collaboration. Similarly, Johanna Hedva takes on the past in her artistic practice and speaks about how she understands performances as “the communion with the dead, with the past.”

But how could what has passed become productive and how can we meet the reproach of nostalgia? Tracing connections between memories and the present provides a possible answer, as one comes across in an interview with Kamixlo. There, the artist recapitulates the long temporal reaches of the process that culminated in his latest album. The traces from the past can lead us back into the present, as they have changed the now, and following down these tracks might lead to the discovery of new pathways into the present.

Yet, we should not dismiss the comforting innocence of a passing recollection. British DJ and producer Mark Lawrence aka Mala presents such examples when he talks about the early parties organized by DMZ in Brixton. And so does Chinese artist Yikii, when she tells anecdotes about her school days. The reading of this issue, then, should be both an occasion to appraise the potential of the past in the present as well as for innocently savoring a nostalgic memory or two.

P.S. form issue #22 onward, zweikommasieben Magazin will cost CHF 14 (instead of CHF 12). This increase reflects two developments that have been unfolding over the past several issues: on the one hand, zweikommasieben is no longer solely a fanzine; rather, we are a magazine with professional structures that, among other things, seeks to compensate its contributing authors, photographers, graphic designers, translators, and editors. On the other hand, the magazine has grown in volume—more interviews, more photos, more texts, more pages—without ever changing its price so far. The first increase after five years ensures that we can pursue our project with the same commitment and professionalism in the future. We thank you for your understanding and continued support.
