No One MagazineNo One is a print magazine that celebrates underground queer nightlife around the world.
Each year, we focus 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.
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.
To complement the magazine, No One also hosts events and creates projects like zines, films, and other creative experiments—often tied to the cities featured—to further explore distant scenes beyond the print.
Whether a queer kid in the suburbs, an elder (re)finding their community, or an ally who appreciates and wants to learn more about queerness, No One exposes the beauty in each individual and inspires the courage to discover more of oneself and those around them.
We hope to bring the global LGBTQIA+ community closer, sharing challenges, celebrating victories, and ultimately opening up this whole world to us: the dancing queers.
Editorial Approach
Nightlife is vast, ever-shifting, and truly global. To guide our work, No One focuses on five editorial themes that dimensionalize the narrative of dancing queers and three geographical considerations that aid city selection.
Five 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.
