Diplo and photographer Shane McCauley are launching the zine series “Blow Your Head”.
Each volume will explore a different country and musical genre. For [the first] volume, the duo traveled through Trenchtown, visiting Tuff Gong Studios, Gee Jam Studios and Sugarman Beach, documenting the most cutting-edge music and dance with candid photographs of the players and venues.
Each volume is an 8 x 10 inch, 96 page black and white softcover printed in a limited edition of 1,500 copies. It is available in stores October 1. Pre-orders can be placed through Picture Box.

Sevens Clash keep releasing great reports from their travels through Jamaica.
After articles on Tommy Lee and Schoolboy Football, they did a studio visit and mini interview with “Tattoo Phillip” – the man currently running the tattoo scene in Jamaica.
Phillip’s professed specialty is detail and shading work, and with a client list that includes prominent musicians (Vybz Kartel filmed the video for Coloring Book at his studio, for example), Olympians, media personalities and Miss Jamaicas, his pedigree is unique among Jamaican tattoo artists.
