As much as we're looking back, we're also looking ahead. This issue features short profiles of emerging acts working towards better futures.

First up, @grahamericlatham.bsky.social profiled Montreal free jazz outfit Egyptian Cotton Arkestra:

As New Feeling turns 5, we zoom out by surveying the co-ops, solidarity economies, and platform alternatives that make our work possible and show how we can organize differently.

Featuring @flaminghydra.com, @subvert.fm & more!

What if instead of “going solo” on Substack, we rebuilt newsrooms together?

@therewasnosound.bsky.social digs into platformized journalism and talks with Pivot co-op’s Paolo Mirello about how their solidarity co-op model offers another way.

A founding objective of @newfeelingcoop.bsky.social was to spotlight music all throughout "Canada," esp. in scenes adrift of industry strongholds like TO and MTL.

YIMBY was an early recurring feature we conceived to support that. Maybe it’s time to bring it back?
