The perfectly-named electronic music mag Disco Pogo, created by the founders of nineties mag Jockey Slut, returns with its fifth issue. Thanks to a successful (28 day!) crowdfunding campaign, the mag was able to (re)launch in 2022.
‘We never had any intention of re-launching Jockey Slut'’ say founders Paul Benney and John Burgess, ‘and then events of recent years made us rethink. But the world has changed and so we decided that a new magazine with a new name was best.'
Now a much anticipated title at the shop, the mag lives up to the hype; it’s packed to the brim with in-depth articles covering the old and the new. For their fifth issue, the DP team are offering something for your mind, your body and your soul, by disobeying their own rules with three juicy covers instead of their usual two. Gracing this latest edition are Bicep (mind), Elkka (body), and Khruangbin (soul).
