MIRRORWRITING - Issue #001

MIRRORWRITING is a premium independent print magazine built around the world of dance music. Not the charts, not the gossip. The culture. The spaces it lives in, the people who carry it, and the way it looks and feels when you're inside it.

Issue #001 is where it all starts. A high-quality publication that your coffee table is craving.

Inside you'll find artist portraits sitting alongside dancefloor photography, fashion editorial, long reads, and first-person documentary photo essays. The imagery moves between raw energy and something more cinematic, often within the same frame. Double exposures, motion, moments caught between beats. Not just documenting nights so much as trying to recreate the feeling of them.

This issue features Oskar Med K, Collect 200, Florian Picasso, Budakid, bbyclose, and more. Alongside a deep dive into the prog revival, a tribute to the legacy of Daft Punk, a festival roundup, and a lifestyle edit curated for the culture.

It's an introduction and an argument that the world of electronic music is worth treating seriously and capturing honestly.

160 pages + 4pp cover. Printed in the UK. Limited run. 

A note on what this is

MIRRORWRITING was founded by Joe Brine, who previously built and ran tmrw magazine from 2012 to 2024. This is the next chapter. Independent, print-first, and built for the long term.

We're here because the culture earned it.
