XLR8R has been pumping out some decent content for a while now. One of the things I believe they excel in is showcasing upcoming electronic and hip-hop talent. In many cases, the acts they feature tend to be just about ready to blow up and reach mass audiences. Proof: check out 2008's featured artists and compare it to this year’s line up at
SXSW.
They have put together a new magazine called vis-ed which is a mash up of everything from graffiti, photography, industrial and graphic design.
It's quality, and completely FREE. Vol.1 here via Vis-ed.
Also worth mentioning is that this is Scion sponsored, which seems to be a company really getting its hands into music and the arts. Its a marketing/image thing, but I'm down for corporate sponsorship as long as it helps keep creative juices flowing (and free). If you're ever in the Hollywood area, make sure to check out one of the notorious Scion house parties. We're talking top DJs and 1000+ people going dance crazy on a Tuesday night. Epic.
