In this zine, you will find exclusive interviews with the founders, staff and resident DJs of the beloved NYC venue, XPIZZA, as a testament to the power of community and a tribute to the unique cultural scene that formed in South Seaport District in the span of two years.
XPIZZA was a pizza parlor & multidisciplinary platform directed by artist, Cristiano Grim, and Giovanni Barbieri in the heart of NYC's South Seaport District. Known for their DIY shows featuring local and international artists seven nights a week, the underground venue was a space where chaos thrived and music was LOUD! Many artists in the scene would come to hang out, have a slice and experience the best DJs cooking up right next to the crackling pizza oven.
WE ARE THE FUTURE! hosted their iconic monthly residency nights, WATF! Radio, featuring local and international talent, VJs, and vendors, packing the space until the crowds spilled out onto the streets. This zine is a commemoration to those unforgettable nights and the friendships made along the way.
This is an unofficial, community-inspired zine written and designed by former XPIZZA residents.
