Innerloop Magazine

Innerloop Magazine was a dance music magazine based in Washington, D.C. from 2002-2004 <img src=/media/wikipedia/en/d/d4/Innerloop0703.jpg> Innerloop was a free publication distributed at record stores, clubs and other cultural hubs on interest around the country and in Europe. Printed on newsprint, Innerloop was a tabloid format. The magazine featured electronic music artists who typically did not have press agents or major label representation, with a strong focus on the D.C. and Baltimore music scenes. The first cover of the magazine featured D.C. legendary house music DJ Sam "the man" Burns. Innerloop's Art Director, London-based Ivan Cottrell, designed the magazine. Innerloop was featured in the U.K.'s Creative Review[1] for its design. The Art Institute[2] in Arlington, Va., and MICA[3] in Baltimore, Md. also subscribed to Innerloop for its design students as a resource. Innerloop was founded by Courtney Reyers (Apple Rochez) and Ivan Cottrell as a joint, transcontinental publication. The staff was entirely volunteer, and included Christine Moritz, Andy Cerutti (of 2 [4]Tuff fame), illustrator Nils Davy, Jorge Bañales and Daniel Swierdsiol, among others over the years. Innerloop partnered with various clubs over the years, including Red [5], Five and the Edge in D.C. and Sonar in Baltimore to present Innerloop-based parties. Courtney Reyers also hosted an Innerloop radio show on XM Radio's Channel 80 "The Move." The magazine closed in September 2004, with artists A Skillz and Krafty Kutz as its last cover feature.
