Never has it been more evident that our existence in the world is an ever-evolving performance. The degree of truth to this may vary depending on the person - but regardless, we are confined and pushed to conform with the boxes that society sets up for us. However, more and more of us are finding the capacity and the drive to free ourselves from these prescribed identities and forge a new way of existing.

With Amsterdam Dance Event consuming the music scene this week, there are too many sets to watch and too many tracks to listen to. However, we thought it would be cute to take a step back from pure techno and give you guys a mix with a bit of spice. Wouldn't we be so lucky that one of our absolute fave DJs released just that? Jyoty - DJ, Instagram activist, baddie - has been stealing our hearts for years now, blowing the world away with a fire Boiler Room set in 2019 and winning all of us over with her candid, honest, and unapologetic presence on social media.

2020 brought many things, some good (mostly bad), however, on the fashion scene, it was the birth of Marc Jacobs' sister-brand
Heavn that changed the game. Described as "a gateway into the sprawling and enigmatic omniverse of Marc Jacobs subversion", the punkier, London-esque counterpart has proven to be the antidote to high fashion's untouchability for the twenty-something spearheads.

Gender is a word that, for many, encompasses a myriad of questions, beliefs and identities. When thinking about gender - it is easy to find yourself lost within the language most commonly associated with the term, that being, words and symbols of the binary. The concept of gender, however, is elusive, explorative and interchanging, meaning a new framework needs to be built, where the conventions are dismantled and critical thought is required.

This Acid-techno mix electrified us to our core, as we could feel the bass in Amsterdam all the way from Chicago.

Now wait a sec - just wanted to address the elephant in the room real quick. Yes, this mix is technically from last week, but we desperately needed to carry some of the energy into this week. All over The Netherlands on Saturday, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in masse to protest against the government's embargo on the cultural industry via disproportionate COVID restrictions. GLAMCULT was in attendance, surrounded by some of our favorite stations - such as Radion - and amazing local venues, bringing music back to the streets and feeling the love from our community.

The duo, featuring on whynow radio are a match made in heaven as the experience begins with the soulful, house vibe before moving into some unreleased tracks with a heavier jazz-electronic hit. The mix consists of two halves, as we are first blessed with the ear (and very soothing voice) of NIKS before she introduces her guest Amaliah who - post-conversation - brings with her some dub smashes (with Y2K influences) ready to be heard, danced-to and enjoyed on the loudest speakers you've got.

Drastic measurements have to be taken in order to reduce fashion’s crushing environmental footprint. The good news is that, similarly to the raise of vegetarianism over the past decade, it’s getting easier and easier to shop more sustainably nowadays, and more difficult to keep sticking our heads in the sand. Zalando has taken the initiative to analyse the ways in which both companies and costumers can improve their ways – because if one thing for sure, it takes two. Here’s where it gets juicy: when being asked which single word the respondents associated with ‘sustainable fashion’, the most commonly found word was
guilty, whereas the least common one was
