Summer's officially in full swing, and just when you thought it couldn't get any hotter, we drop a bomb of a new issue on you. The master of the Minimal Nation, Robert Hood, returns to the fray from his home in Alabama, and we dig in deep with the former Motown resident in our cover story before surveying LA's still-burgeoning beat scene (Shlohmo, Alex B, Baths, Take et al), heading east to Toronto to sit down with new disco-house dons Azari & III, and even further east to chat up London dubstep iconoclasts Mount Kimbie.
