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 />

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 />
