No One Magazine is, first, a print publication and, second, a series of cultural programs that highlight and celebrate queer nightlife around the world.

Each year, the magazine focuses on a different city's LGBTQIA+ scene, sharing locally written stories of individuals and collectives who are organizing spaces and movements for their communities to build identity and connection through electronic music.

Whether you are a queer kid in the suburbs, an elder (re)finding their community, or an ally who appreciates and wants to learn more about the values of queerness, we hope this magazine exposes you to the beauty that we each embody and gives you the courage to discover yourself and your communities.

Nightlife is vast, ever-shifting, and truly global. To guide its process, No One focuses on five editorial themes that dimensionalize the narrative of dancing queers and three geographical considerations that aid city selection.

Five Editorial Themes

Music, arts, and their intersection

Exploring how electronic music, creativity, and queer culture inspire each other; highlighting emerging genres and artists shaping local nightlife.

Self-expression and aesthetics

Spotlighting the wide range of courageous expressions through style, movements, and performances that challenge and reimagine social norms.

Venues, spaces, and ambiance

Entering venues, squats, and other spaces that facilitate queer gatherings in featured cities to learn from their experiences and challenges.

Physical and mental health

Discussing how nightlife can positively influence queer communities’ well-being, from affirming identities to sharing harm reduction strategies.

Nighttime politics and policies

Emphasizing the importance of involving queer communities when developing legislation to ensure a more equitable and safer nightlife for everyone.

Three Geographical Considerations

Feasibility

With a two-person core team, No One prioritizes locations where travel is feasible, within our means, and where we have connections to help us navigate the local scene.

Diversity

Given feasibility, No One aims to cover places less discussed in popular media, in English and/or local languages—places that provide safer havens for queer individuals from neighboring, more conservative regions.

Dimensionality

When covering less-discussed places isn’t feasible, No One seeks to offer multiple perspectives that might affirm or challenge a city’s dominant narrative about queerness to represent its many facets.

By focusing on print, No One intends to take up physical space, demand attention, and facilitate deep engagement with each page, seeking to be an antidote to the fleeting nature of digital media and the ephemerality of nightlife.

Beyond the magazine, No One hosts cultural programs with clubs, festivals, bookshops, bars, restaurants, and more—whether for the launch of an upcoming publication or to unpack relevant topics within sub-communities.

With each issue and event, No One hopes to bring the global LGBTQIA+ community closer, sharing challenges, celebrating victories, and ultimately opening up this whole world to us—the dancing queers.
