Issue #02 of ENTHUSIASMS, Efficient Space’s annual publication, further maps the label’s extended universe of contributors and influences across 88 full-colour pages of offline content, featuring extensive conversations with like-minded duos CS + Kreme and Blazer Sound System, Melbourne minimal composer Ros Bandt, the master of paranoia-inducing electronics Richard H Kirk and Tel Aviv-based Isophonic musician Roland P. Young. Rarely seen pictorial spreads find Yolngu cultural warrior and Waak Waak Djungi songman Bobby Bununggurr sharing stories behind his traditional paintings and On-U Sound’s dream team of misfits viewed through the lens of label co-founder and in-house photographer Kishi Yamamoto, alongside the collaborative art of Joshua Petherick and Midnite/3AM Spares compiler Lewis Fidock. The publication’s fantasy mixtapes also continue with playlists from YL Hooi, Julien Dechery and David Pinhas, Time Is Away, Grace Ferguson and Ivan Liechti. Perfect bound and designed, as always, by Steele Bonus.
