Celebrity Mixtape 008: Helen Gilchrist (Stranger Magazine)
Stranger Days
Helen Gilchrist, founder and editor of Stranger magazine – which covered ‘life, earth, sounds, surf and inspiration’, from Cornwall to coastal cultures worldwide, in 16 issues between 2004 and 2007 – digs through some of the music that got sent into the magazine for review in those years. Some of these albums went on to be modern classics, from Amy Winehouse’s ‘Back to Black’ to LCD Soundsystem and Hot Chip. Some tracks fuelled the dancefloors at Stranger’s parties and socials – and some just enjoyed heavy rotation in the magazine office. From breakbeats to dub, electronica to singer songwriters, it’s an eclectic trip down memory lane.
Stranger still creates magazines – these days it’s for global tech companies and creative brands – and hosts imaginative events, from fireside gatherings to a micro festival on a 1930s steam train (pre-Covid of course).
