Reinventing the Future

Make a Wish

GLOBAL SCENES • As sonic signals and new frequencies seep through the rubble of 2021, we should all listen up: ATH Kids flip American hip hop on its head for a changing Greece; Radio Alhara build a sonic liberation front for Palestine; terror and trap form an unholy alliance in Montreal; and rumours and new-regency energy are the agenda at Dimes Square’s Montez Press Radio.

Montez Press Radio, New York

COMME des GARÇONS

The online station that started a global movement

New Metal, Montreal • Playing in the dark with a new Canadian cold front

The Collective Consciousness • We’ve long known there’s power in numbers. In a visual relay across the Atlantic, we celebrate the new formations that are remixing and reinterpreting the culture we thought we knew.

It’s coming out even brighter and more vitally on Colourgrade, where, with the help of Mica Levi and Coby Sey, she is turning sound into paintings

To Dream Is to See

Higher Than the Sun

AMAPIANO • The sound and streets of South Africa are changing. From Bo-Kaap to the Cape and the Limpopo River, beats are colliding, pianos are dipping, bass is breaking the ceiling. A new freedom is emerging, drawing on the country’s long history of resistance music. The pouncing cat and the log drum: this is amapiano

Who Is She To You? • To know Rihanna, the most chameleonic of all our living icons, is quite simply to love her. In an ode to our 30th anniversary cover star, Dazed’s editor-at-large and perpetual Ri stan, Durga Chew-Bose, breaks down why she is the woman we are all willing to wait for
