November coverCoffee Shop Confessional Explore the covers

A different cover. Same bad attitude.

The notebook changes its cover every month. Each one takes its cues from a different corner of music, paper and internet culture. Explore the collection below.

January

Chrome Daydream

Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.

February

Mixtape Romance

Cassette ribbons, red-pen hearts and pink paper. For anyone who ever put too much thought into a mixtape.

March

Botanical Noise

Vines wind around the speakers and flowers take over the margins. Spring gets the volume knob.

April

Arcade Fever

Pixel ghosts, cherries and electric blue meet the notebook doodles. A little arcade cabinet in the margins.

May

Original, Turned Up

The pink splashes, coffee ring and black doodles that started it, with the volume turned up. The notebook's home colours.

June

Sticker Riot

Peel-and-stick chaos: skulls, butterflies, hearts and neon lightning. Think of the back of your favourite battered laptop.

July

Cut-and-Paste Club

Torn tickets, halftone fragments and bright scraps. A cover that borrows the rough edges of a wall full of gig flyers.

August

Xerox Afterparty

Black ink, torn paper and acid-yellow sparks. A love letter to photocopied zines and the flyers you kept after the show.

September

Beautiful Overload

Stars, speakers, tape and every loud colour at once. Back-to-school stationery with absolutely no restraint.

October

Haunted Notebook

Moths, little ghosts and crimson ink creep through the black flourishes. The notebook has a late-night alter ego.

November

Coffee Shop Confessional

Coffee rings, headphones and warm paper. A cover for the long walk home and the track you play again when you get there.

December

Cosmic Margin

Moons, moths and constellations spill across midnight-blue ink. The margins drift into space; the music keeps going.

Infected Mushroom & Blastoyz present Psy Trance Mafia - Smashing Pumpkins

Psytrance has never once been interested in subtlety, and Smashing Pumpkins is not about to break the streak. This is Infected Mushroom and Blastoyz teaming up under the Psy Trance Mafia banner, which is roughly the genre equivalent of two heavyweight boxers deciding to hold hands and sprint at you together. It sits around 145bpm and never once lets off the throttle, all rubber-band bass and acid lines coiling tighter until the release feels less like a drop than a door getting kicked off its hinges. Infected Mushroom have been at this since the 90s and still sound genuinely unhinged,...
