This album is a visual journey into the heart of fashion. It is a tribute to the artistry, the drama, and the sheer creativity that unfolds on the runway. We explore not just the clothes, but the moments—the silent preparation backstage, the electric energy of the catwalk, and the stories told in every stitch and silhouette. Each photograph captures the essence of style as a living, breathing art form, celebrating the diverse designers, models, and visionaries who shape the industry. This is a look behind the curtain, a celebration of fashion in its most powerful and beautiful form.

Acid House was the first EDM music I heard back around 1988. My older brother introduced me to the Stakker Huminoid track and I was hooked.

Unleash the acid

HOTWAX // John Beltran - Thank Goodness I Found You (7" version)

As the cracks in the wall open up in Melbourne and we get the jumper cables out to reboot, Yi Lum opens us up to the  otherside with Fair Shake 008. She flies the flag for each of us, peeling us from our devices to guide us on how to engage again. Venturing out after endless months in these four walls she peeks through the keyhole, takes a step or two outside, checks the coast is clear then breaks out at pace to burn up the bitumen. This is a tough mix, built from steel, but the tough get going and there’s hope for the future. 

At this juncture, 
The sun does not bring respite. 
The dark that we once held is not what we are left. 
Until we beat again.

Fair Shake 008 - Yi Lum

Excitement had quickly turned into euphoria — an emotion they barely recognised after a year of non-events. It was arresting, all-consuming, a feeling they didn't want to subside for an eternity. And it wouldn't, at least until dawn broke, and even then they'd find a new place to play, a space to dance until their energy faded away.

DJs and producers Joginda Macnack and Mike Richards are the minds behind Black Cadmium, a duo navigating the rave-tinged corners of the electronic music spectrum. Following a recent contribution to Carista's Modern Intimacy compilation, and several EPs for Vault Wax, Afro Deep and Ovum, they make their debut on Violet's naive imprint with Chemistry, one of their most diverse outings yet. The five tracks touch on a host of different influences, working from heady broken beat to full throttle rave, jacking Chicago house and explosive jungle.
