Forensic Records co-owner Fordal is opening a new chapter for the imprint with the launch of its new sister label, Twelvepoint, and spun a mix to celebrate. Longstanding UK label Forensic Records has championed underground house music styles since the late ’90s. Originally started by the promoters and resident DJs of Shindig, it welcomed a new era in 2020 after relaunching with Lexicon Avenue and Fordal at the helm. Since then, the imprint has continued to deliver plenty of tasty tunes, and as they continue to expand further, they’ve launched a sister label, Twelvepoint, to help deepen their grip on dynamic, club-ready styles.

For a small fraction of HARD Summer’s cost, dance music enthusiasts could enjoy a solid lineup of artists at LED x Black Palms, making it attractive to those on a budget. As summer winds down to a close, dance music enthusiasts put on their best rave attire for Southern California’s iconic summer festival: HARD Summer. That gathering has been a staple for many, but for some music lovers who couldn’t bear the heat, the crowd that swelled to an estimated 70,000 people, or the steep ticket price, the allure of a new mini-fest in San Diego took precedence, LED x Black Palms.

There’s something undeniably human about wanting to possess a little piece of a place that meant something to you. And seashells, with their no-two-are-alike design, make themselves incredibly tempting to take home. But these organic souvenirs don’t exactly come free. Seashells play a vital role in oceanic ecosystems, providing homes for several shellfish. While collecting a handful might seem like a harmless act of beachcombing fun, it can have some pretty sad consequences if done on a large scale. To learn more about the environmental implications of taking seashells from a beach, we spoke to Dr. Britta Baechler, Associate Director of Ocean Plastics Research for Ocean Conservancy and a scientist who has studied the impacts of microplastic pollution on shellfish along the Pacific coast.

Here's Why You Shouldn’t Take Seashells from the Beach
