Read by a faithful outernational collective of kool kids, music junkies, grafik artists and cultural renegades, SHOOK is the magazine of choice for people who will not be sold manufactured culture but instead look a little deeper for inspiration and find it here. Whether it’s tastemakers such as Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson and Benji B showing us love on the BBC, or artists like Calma, HVW8, Invader, Cody Hudson, Mitchy Bwoy and LCP United lending their support (and their artwork), plus endless recommendations from the leading record stores and websites, SHOOK has cemented its reputation as an indispensible guide to the worldwide underground.
JUDGE A MAG BY ITS COVER(AGE)
Of course, music is our first love. But more than just a music magazine, we also take a look at books, films, fashion, travel and social issues from across the globe – whether catching up with Brazilian film director José Padilha, Pulitzer-prize winning author Junot Diaz, street artist Invader, photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber, ‘Black Atlantic’ theorist Paul Gilroy, or human-rights activist and Olympic medalist Tommie Smith.
TREASURE FOREVER
With its distinctive look and high-quality production values, every issue of the magazine is a straight-out collectors item. You’ll find it stocked on newsstands across the UK, the US and Canada and in specialist stores including leading record stores, galleries and bookstores.
Not satisfied with only producing a magazine, we are also keep people updated via our website and twitter, organize parties including the Soul Power movie launch party at the Market Place and a screening of Dick Fontaine’s films at the George Orwell, and have sponsored events from Turkey to Paris to Los Angeles. SHOOK is the voice of the loud minority. Remember, there is an alternative.
