365mag
365Mag is an e-zine's about electronic music and the related subcultures / lifestyles. The e-zine is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
History
365Mag was started in 2004. Alongside news, interviews, artist profiles and CD and party reviews, the magazine has added news on production equipment and technology, and more global developments within the international music scene. With the website now offline (March 2015), and the official Twitter account inactive since January 2015, it appears that 365mag has slipped into the deadpool.
Focus
365Mag tends to focus on Progressive electronic music, with artists such as Sasha, John Digweed, Nick Warren and Steve Lawler among others. Particularly favoured styles include: minimal (e.g.: Luciano or Ricardo Villalobos), Neotrance (Tiefschwarz, James Holden, Daso or M.A.N.D.Y) or progressive (Hernan Cattaneo or Habersham).
Other activities
Alongside the E-zine, 365Mag is active during international dance events, for example the Winter Music Conference in Miami or Popkomm in Berlin. In its home city the magazine hosts events in clubs such as Panama and Paradiso and is involved in festivals such as Rockit open air, Free your mind and the Amsterdam dance event (where it usually takes care of some of the workshops). 365Mag is also involved in 365Live! (a live act) and a forthcoming new record label 365recordings. Furthermore 365Mag is actively involved with Ableton Life music software. If furthermore contains an extensive album and singles review section.
.44 Magnum
The .44 Remington Magnum, or simply .44 Magnum (10.9×33mmR), and frequently .44 Mag, is a large-bore cartridge originally designed for revolvers. After its introduction, it was quickly adopted for carbines and rifles. Despite the ".44" designation, guns chambered for the .44 Magnum round, and its parent, the .44 Special, use 0.429 in (10.9 mm) diameter bullets.
The .44 Magnum is based on a lengthened .44 Special case, loaded to higher pressures for greater velocity (and thus, energy). The .44 Magnum has since been eclipsed in power by the .454 Casull, and most recently by the .460 S&W Magnum and .500 S&W Magnum, among others; nevertheless, it has remained one of the most popular commercial large-bore magnum cartridges. When loaded to its maximum and with heavy, deeply penetrating bullets, the .44 Magnum cartridge is suitable for short-range hunting of all North American game—though at the cost of much recoil and muzzle flash when fired in handguns. In carbines and rifles, these problems do not arise.
Hip hop skit
A hip hop skit is a form of sketch comedy that appears on a hip hop album or mixtape, and is usually written and performed by the artists themselves. Skits can appear on albums or mixtapes as individual tracks, or at the beginning or end of a song. Some skits are part of concept albums and contribute to an album's concept. Skits also occasionally appear on albums of other genres.
The hip-hop skit was more or less pioneered by De La Soul and their producer Prince Paul who incorporated many skits on their 1989 debut album 3 Feet High and Rising.
The Hip Hop Skit although dominant throughout the 90s and the early 2000s began to be phased out in the later half of the 2000s and the early 2010s. Reasons for this include the popularity of MP3 as well as the invention of the iPod Shuffle, which could only play tracks in a random order.
Writing for The AV Club, Evan Rytlewski opined that skits may have originally been in vogue because an expanded tracklisting would look more appealing to would be buyers, although he noted that their first inclusion on a De La Soul record was most likely just them being "eccentric".
