'The Electronic Music Magazine' which also covers culture, art and technology. It features in-depth coverage of the contemporary electronic scene, as well as shining a light on the pioneers and machines that made the scene what it is today. 

A real throwback this issue, which rewinds the mag back to 1981, not only ‘a year of tremendous tension in the UK—politically, culturally and socially’ but also one that marked the dizzying rise of synthpop:

‘One of the main music talking points of 1981 was the growing number of synthpop bands breaking into the UK mainstream charts, many of them climbing into the Top 10. But at the same time, there was a surge in new independent talent, with the post-punk underground splintering into endless sub-genres – coldwave, alt-funk, punk-funk, industrial, electro-dub, goth, jangly pop, agit-pop, avant-jazz, mutant disco and more – and artists putting out their records via established indies and previously unknown labels. It was an amazing time for electronic, experimental and just plain awesome music – whatever tribe you belonged to – and we're telling the story of the year through 101 milestone releases. It's an epic blast.’
