MOJO

MOJO is a well-known music magazine that was first launched by Emap and has been published monthly in the UK by Bauer since January 2008. The magazine was created to meet the growing demand for classic rock music, inspired by the success of the magazine Q. The inaugural issue was released on October 15, 1993, featuring Bob Dylan and John Lennon on the cover, reflecting its classic rock focus. MOJO is celebrated for its thorough exploration of both mainstream and niche musical artists, influencing other publications like Blender and Uncut. Esteemed music critics such as Charles Shaar Murray, Greil Marcus, Nick Kent, and Jon Savage have contributed to its content. The magazine's founding editor was Paul Du Noyer, followed by notable successors like Mat Snow, Paul Trynka, and Pat Gilbert.

1 month ago | mojo4music.com | Ian Harrison

Remembering Scott Walker, MOJO returns to a West London bookshop and an atypically illuminating encounter with one of the most enigmatic figures in music. In 2013, existential enigma Scott Walker returned with a staggering new album, Bish Bosch.

Was Lee “Scratch” Perry – inventor of reggae, alchemist of sound, “God’s Scientist” – authentically crackers? Or was it an act to deflect gangsters and journalists? Or a vibration from a higher plane of existence? In 2019 – as he revealed more than usual in a brilliant new album Rainford – MOJO wondered if Scratch would deign to explain himself?
