Episode 11 is now online, and this is quite a relevant one as I'm changing the format a little bit.
Continuing the trend of shorter shows, this one doesn't go past 40 minutes and features new music from the likes of Slikback, serpentwithfeet, lojii, Sam Gendel, Fallen, jung dj, Vegyn and Gallery S / MoMA Ready.

Friends at Mondo Negro invited me to curate a little playlist and I got really excited about it. My selection sort of reflects how I look at both the past and the future of music (minus the very heavy stuff cause I wanted to stand out from previous guests).
If you don't know Mondo Negro, they're basically THE reference distro right now for vinyl in Portugal, and I'm pretty sure they got customers all over Europe as well. They have an excellent selection of records from several genres and they have supported The Juice Zine in the past as advertisers, which I really appreciate.
You can stream the playlist here or just press play below!
For the latest newsletter, I kept it short and dropped a few gems for anyone who loves music, diversity and counterculture.

First episode of 2021, mostly about music I discovered on the last stretch of 2020. A special dedication to the lat MF DOOM, whose influence spreads larger than any show could ever put in words.

Juicy is 10 this year. Ten years of a small DIY project that introduced me to some of the coolest creatives around. I started the label to release music from my friends and made so many new friends along the way, couldn't be more grateful about it.
The absolute disaster that 2020 has turned out to be definitely changed some of the plans we had. Unfortunately, our zine won't have a print issue this year. It does have a life of its own online, and there are ongoing plans to expand on the content and have insightful pieces coming out more regularly.
In some more positive news, a whole decade called for a change, so I recruited my favourite designer to deliver a whole new logo, which coincided with our website's fresh look.
Thank you to the always brilliant Ieva Berzina for giving Juicy a new look.
New episode of our music show is up on Mixcloud. Around the world in nine songs of all sorts of genres.

Not one to reminisce over past laurels, heka is back with a new song after last year's other drugs EP.
The song is a conceptual juxtaposition of ideas and subversive elements, as the artist herself puts it:
"(...) the structure is composed of two separate threads running parallel, like a stream of consciousness on two tracks, oscillating between a relentless and seemingly nonsensical list of facts about giant sequoias, and an internal monologue of quiet and exhausted confusion."
"The most conscious explanation I can give of a concept has to do with the effort to mimic the way the mind tries to distract itself from the issues we struggle with, constantly providing us with useless information in order to maintain some form of rational control. In this case, the feelings are trying to push through the noise, and end up, somewhere along the way, blending with this constant stream of information."
"redwoods (a few interesting facts about sequoias)" is available digitally on all digital services. Stream or purchase the song at your service of choice by clicking here.
Slow Dance stopping their online radio made us rethink our own show.
Started as an extension on the new music posts I write weekly on the online zine, the motivation to carry on with the audio format and talk about more songs and artists that don't get covered on the written articles is stronger than ever. However, but producing, recording, editing and mixing takes time, so things are now moving to a monthly schedule and uploaded on the last week of the month to Mixcloud.
Here's the new July episode:
