We went behind the scenes with the JUE Photography Workshop, where Tom Rippe passed on some valuable advice to future concert photographers. We interviewed the directors of Yangon Calling, and had the chance to ask a couple questions to Irish post rockers And So I Watch You From Afar.  

We checked Jiadaokou's newest burger flipper, Katchup, in this month's FOOD & DRINK section. Then we dipped our hands in a little Korean street food with One Pot, and washed it all down with drinks at the new Hidden House and Drink House Whisky Bar. 

In GO, we found out what Beijing's hottest DJs are sporting this winter, and in MEET we chat it up with former Joy Division bassist Peter Hook about his upcoming tour with The Light.

ECOLOGY, explores the glorious hobby of beekeeping, through the lens of an expert who believes introducing more colonies of these little honey-makers in urban environments could benefit our city's ecology and our health.

We checked out the highly anticipated new Home Plate Bar-B-Que in Sanlitun in this month's FOOD & DRINK section. As well as that we made a return visit to Mosto to sample their divine chocolate soufflé, and also stopped by three new bars in Parlor, Basement and Trouble Bar to size them up.

In GO we took some fashion tips from the professionals, and in MEET we spoke to The Lumineers' Neyla Pekarek ahead of their February 11 show at Tango.

Kyle Mullin investigated a way of getting bling from the smog in this month's ECOLOGY section, and PEKING MAN tried his luck in an Escape Room.
