XLR8R Steps On It


An average day at the office for the lucky employees of XLR8R Magazine includes a guided tour from Zizek Club's staple DJ Villa Diamante of Buenos Aires' best places to chow down, sit down and get down, chatting to Major Lazer, a fictional producer with a convincing Jamaican accent, and mediating smackdowns discussions between pro-copyright fiend Renee Scroggings of ESG and sample-swiper Girl Talk.

XLR8R ("accelerator") is a multi-format magazine centred around culture, fashion, technology and music. XLR8R TV, podcasts and free weekly downloads, not to mention the fact that readers can choose to download the magazine as a PDF rather than subscribe, combine to bring the magazine to the forefront of music and culture newsgathering.

Recently featured artists include Mr Oizo, Zomby, Animal Collective, Dan Deacon, Junior Boys and the Juan Maclean.
