EDITORIAL INTERNS Glenn Jackson, Stefan Nickum Like pretty much every magazine out there, we too generally theme our issues. Whether it's something big and blatant (the Year-End Music Tech issue), or more just STAFF WRITERS for internal idea-generating use (the How Many Digs Can We Take at Brostep issue), Eric K. Arnold, Joe Colly, Matt Earp, Rob Geary, Ali Gitlow, there's some running theme behind every edition of this here rag. Of course, rarely Derek Grey, David Hemingway, Max Herman, Ethan Holben, do these themes look like anything we expected them to when they were just a tiny Justin Hopper, Josiah Hughes, Brandon Ivers, Luciana Lopez, idea in the XLR8R hive mind. Cameron Macdonald, Lulu McAllister, Tomas Palermo, Dave Segal, We call this one The Portraits Issue. But it's not because every single story found Jesse Serwer, Evan Shamoon, Patrick Sisson, Janet Tzou, herein is a collection of highly stylized headshots. Sure, some of them boast that Tony Ware, Walter Wasacz, Rico "Superbizzee" Washington visual element—take for instance Vinna Laudico's stunning shots of Tim Hecker in the barren Montreal wilderness—but many take the idea of the portrait to another CONTRIBUTING WRITERS level, one that examines the personality behind our favorite music, rather than the Marke B, Brandon Bussolini, Michael Byrne, Ryan Edwards, visual images that represent it. Rip Empson, Michael Harkin, Andrew Porter, When we got the opportunity to interview Kode9 and The Spaceape for our Thomas Rees, Andrew Ryce, Roger Thomasson cover, we were initially at a crossroads: How do we properly represent the story of dubstep's founding father in a portraits issue when the guy will hardly show his face STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERS in the media? Truth is, aside from coaxing out of him the most in-the-buff poses that Martei Korley, Morgan Howland, Paul O'Valle, Dustin Ross, any magazine's ever got of the man known as Steve Goodman, Ph.D, we figured Ragnar Schmuck, Mathew Scott, Christopher Woodcock an even better tack to take was to let him and his longtime partner-in-crime, The Spaceape, tell their story in their own words. So, on Kode9's recent press stop in SF, CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHERS managic editor Shawn Reynaldo and I sat down with Goodman at a Tenderloin Thai Shawn Brackbill, Shaun Bloodworth, Vinna Laudico, restaurant, while Taio Cruz and BEP blared in the background, and got lowdown on Sean Nathan Lloyd, Brea McAnally, Josh McNey, Ben Rayner, everything about his and Spaceape's new album, Black Sun. John Simm III, Todd Sines, Space Cat, Magda Wosinska San Francisco writer Marke B managed to wrangle a portrait of an entire scene as he dug deep into the history of ballroom house, and examined how folks like New STAFF AND CONTRIBUTING ILLUSTRATORS Jersey's DJ MikeQ, Atlanta's Angel X, and DC's Vjuan Allure are helping to spread Chuck Anderson for No Pattern, Derek Morris for Trophy, the gospel of the long-underground phenomenon. If that's too much of a stretch, photographer Josh McNey's got the "real" thing to accompany the story on page 44. Colin Strandberg for The Work Steady, Optigram Sometimes the portrait gets even more abstract, like in the case of Berlin-London hype machine Hype Williams (nope, not the hip-hop video guy), who'll hardly ON THE COVER answer an interview question directly, let alone let on who they really are, leaving Kode9 and The Spaceape, shot in London writer Rip Empson to consult numerous sources (evasive band email exchanges by Manuel Sepulveda for Optigram being just one of many) to cobble together a shall we say "impressionistic" portrait of the artist(s). specIAL THANKS Of course, we're not going to let that kind of thing stop us from delivering to Gamall Awad at Backspin, Barron Machat, Adam Sellers, you in-depth personality profiles on the likes of Instra:Mental, Maya Jane Coles, Annike Benjes and Lena Larsson at VisitSweden, Malin Kulseth KiNK, and Pariah. But needless to say, we're hard at work on a more official Artists and Mina Evenrud at By:larm, Brian Foote at Kranky Who Won't Show Their Faces issue, starring Burial, Mad Mike Banks, Zomby, and Buckethead. —Ken Taylor, Editor 4 Contributors March / April 2011 PUBLISHER Andrew Smith ([email protected]) MARKE B.
