Boom Magazine 027 - March 2015: BASEMENT JAXX - Exclusive chat with the kings of Electro-Dance, Plus HKWalls special, Interview with UK Indie band Yuck, and much more.

Art month comes early this year, taking over March instead of May. Art Basel 2015 arrives in style, and Art Central takes over the harbourfront, bigger than ever. Wan Chai hosts a number of private exhibitions for those with a keen eye for new talent, and HK’s classiest venues hold exhibitions of the world’s best up and coming names. Over in Sheung Wan and Stanley Market, HKWalls unleashes the world’s best street artists on exposed brick walls and shop shutters - check out our interview with the team behind the project in our Flipside section (P24).

Musically, the scene is strong as ever. We catch Felix Buxton of Basement Jaxx for a chat in our A-Side (P14) before their DJ set at the Go South Weekender, and in our B-Side we catch up with London indie band Yuck (P20) before Songs For Children flies them in next month. Check out our round-ups of the hottest upcoming gigs in our Fast Forward section, featuring deep house rising star Robin Schulz (P6) and Norwegian polymath Erlend Øye (P4). In Boom Academy we take you on a journey through the history of Gangsta Rap (P38), and don’t forget to check out our Flight Centre deals.

Peruse our travel guide to Jakarta in Play Away (P34), and, with our eyes set on Indonesia, we thought we’d sit for an interview with Indonesian eatery IR1968 in Boom’s Kitchen (P30). Flip to the back for our Hidden Tracks section (P45), for an exclusive Q&A with the February issue cover artist, health and beauty tips, your monthly Zodiac (P54) and much more!

Happy March! Keep on BOOMing!
