5 Mag Issue 216

Welcome to 5 Mag Issue 216!

On the cover: Andy Compton on 50 albums and 25 years of Peng, plus Ralph Session cover mix, Dan Sicko's love letter to techno and the city of Detroit, and Chicago's Noble Square Records' deep house love affair.

Also in this issue: Subvert rises from the ashes with a mission of creating a grassroots, community-owned version of Bandcamp. And as if the ticketing industry isn't screwed up enough, we outline a new scheme aiming to trick and confuse consumers into paying more than 70% more for concert tickets by routing sales through sketchy affiliate sites.
