Hydrolife Magazine August/September 2017 [USA Edition]

One of the best parts about a budding industry like the marijuana industry is the personalities that emerge. For more than a year in these pages, we’ve worked hard to bring you the latest information, history, how-to methods, and products surrounding cannabis. In this issue, we’re focusing a little more on people, including Jim McAlpine, founder of the 420 Games and Power Plant Fitness. He graces our cover after working with San Francisco-based photographer Mark Rutherford.

PRETTY GIRLS LIKE<br />

TRAP MUSIC<br />

2 CHAINZ<br />

Pretty Girls Like Trap Music<br />

and so do I thanks to LA<br />

rapper 2 Chainz. He just<br />

keeps getting better with<br />

age. This album is so chill<br />

and relaxing I can’t help but<br />

melt into my surroundings.<br />

I can practically smell the<br />

blunt smoke already!<br />

ALL MY DEMONS GREETING<br />

ME AS A FRIEND<br />

AURORA<br />

Beautiful, soft, warm, and<br />

unyielding, Aurora is far more<br />

talented than any individual<br />

should be. The 20-year-old<br />

Norwegian singer/songwriter<br />

is hauntingly good. Her debut<br />

LP All My Demons Greeting<br />

Me As A Friend will follow<br />

you around for days.<br />

BORN IN THE<br />

VIPER ROOM<br />

MINKA<br />

Philadelphia-based hell raisers<br />

MINKA harness the power<br />

of all the ’80s greatest stars<br />

in Born In The Viper Room.<br />

The edgy synth/rock band<br />

is known for their live show<br />

antics. Somehow, I can tell<br />

that the lead singer is nude<br />

through the speakers.<br />

by Gibson Lannister<br />

Gibson Lannister has<br />

been a musician for<br />

more than 15 years and<br />

continues to expand his<br />

knowledge of theory<br />

and technique.<br />

ROYAL BLUES<br />

DRAGONETTE<br />

Toronto-based new wave<br />

group Dragonette is my<br />

favorite thing in the world<br />

right now! There are so<br />

many layers to their album<br />

Royal Blues. It’s deep and<br />

ripe with emotion, while<br />

managing to stay uplifting<br />

and fun. I just want to listen<br />

to it over and over again.<br />

RALPH<br />

RALPH<br />

Refreshing and sweet,<br />

Ralph’s self-titled EP leaves<br />

me longing for more. Her pop<br />

sensibility has lead to great<br />

songs with inviting rhythms<br />

and enchanting vocals. She<br />

sets a trap for you with each<br />

song, from which there is<br />

no escape. You will find her<br />

tunes bouncing around your<br />

head for days.<br />

AFTERGLOW<br />

THE WILD NOW<br />

The seductive duo that is<br />

The Wild Now return with<br />

their second EP Afterglow.<br />

Their alt synth-rock is dark<br />

and alluring, distinct and<br />

potent. It’s everything a<br />

good album should be. I<br />

can’t wait to hear more.<br />
