Dreamt up in 2004 and re-branded in 2024, KLOF Magazine is a constantly evolving independent music and culture zine.
…one of the best music publications, hands down.

Much of KLOF Mag’s coverage originates from small niche communities that exist outside, or in opposition to, the mainstream. Although not meant as a definitive guide, this includes Avant-garde, Jazz, Experimental, Field Recordings, Electro-acoustic, Minimalist, Ambient, and Folk music (often shaped by folklore or tradition but not anchored by it). From time to time, we also delve into literature and art.
I’ve learned about most of the music I’ve loved over the past couple years from the fine people at this publication.

The site is like a new music university where all the lectures are so much fun.
