Issue #5 - Floating Action

The Asheville-based outfit Floating Action earns our cover this issue with their eclectic mash-up of old school aesthetics.There are also features on Triangle staple Dexter Romweber, Odessa Records, Brave Young, Sea of Cortez, Toro Y Moi, Red Collar, Hammer No More the Fingers, among others, as well as 30+ reviews and regional gig photos.  

Odessa Ouvert!

Odessa Ouvert!

Paul Finn tries to buck the music industry's downhill trend with Carborro-based Odessa Records and an eye to DIY, as well as hot releases from regional up-and-comers Americans In France, Impossible Arms, and his own familiar band, Kingsbury Manx.

Dexter Romwebber changes course with help from his sister Sara on Ruins of Berlin, his latest effort. They're joined by some of Romwebber's most ardent admirers -- Chan Marshall, Neko Case, Exene Cervenka -- on a record that expands the Triangle legend's garage rock roots by embracing exotic jazz, pop and pre-60s' soundtrack music.

Free NC/SC Valentine's Compilation!

If your goal this V-Day is to make "I love you" sound less like canned applause, we  suggest presenting your boo with something more durable than roses. This 20-track freeload features swoony love jams, odes to long-gone beaus, and demented 'good riddance' cuts from some of the Carolinas' best. Just register with us and download away. Now you can share the love without the STDs! 

Shuffle Magazine is one of a kind. Shuffle aims to represent a wide variety of genres while the music industry collapses into stylistic homogeny or caters to pre-fabricated niches. As the Web erases regional and cultural borders, Shuffle embraces a regional identity. And we do it because it’s important - to us and to our readers. The mission of Shuffle is to create exposure to the artists that matter most to the Carolinas - the culture that directly affects us and our neighbors.

You'll find big names line up with relative unknowns, the only common links being creative quality and progression. Shuffle Magazine is the voice of the Carolinas’ music community, and through print and Internet media can - and will - connect fans, musicians and partners looking to join the conversation.
