I GOT A MAGAZINE SPREAD!!! 💕🌈🦋🌸 Vol. 3 of maniac magazine, the plur issue. Thankyou so much to the maniac team for featuring my art & fashion, I love you guys. My goal has always been to inspire people to express themselves with their fashion and to show up as their authentic selves. I also want to give a huge thankyou to all of you who have been following me throughout the years. Because of you I am able to do the things I love and I cannot express how grateful I am for that. Last but not least, I want to say this to anyone who is willing to listen. Please don’t let anyone dim your light. You are the star of your show. You can be, do, and embody anything you want as long as you truly believe it. Having a magazine spread was a goal of mine and I’m grateful im here. Thankyou 💕 #edmmaniac #ravegirl #ravefashion

Frankie Bones is the American rave scene’s first true legend. 🔊🫶 Nearly four decades after he brought the UK’s acid house revolution across the Atlantic, Maniac Magazine sat down with the legendary New York City DJ, producer, and pioneering promoter behind NYC’s first raves for a proper history lesson. Our third issue, “The PLUR Issue,” explores what the American rave scene’s defining motto means to its community through the lens of its biggest champions, and there’s none bigger than the man who helped coin it. After he played the UK’s first raves, Bones’ Peace Love Unity Movement (PLUM for short) sought to bring the love he experienced in England home to New York during perhaps the most violent time in the city’s history. Now widely known as PLUR—Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect—its ethos remains the rave’s code of conduct and call to arms. Whether you were raving in the ‘90s or are just hitting the dance floor, Bones’ desire to use music to bring peace to his community is the foundation of American rave culture and its abbreviated creed. As he returns to play EDC Las Vegas’ 30th anniversary edition this weekend, we’re sharing free copies of Maniac Magazine at the festival. Keep your eyes peeled for our newsstands around the speedway and follow @certifiedmaniac to find out where you can grab yours. Not heading to EDC? Order your copy at certifiedmaniac.com.

For Levity, and Maniac Magazine, three is a magic number.🪄🌈 In our third print issue, we sat down with bass music’s most recognizable trio, days after their Coachella debut, to chronicle the group’s rapid rise to stardom for their first-ever cover profile. When their last-minute fill-in at Electric Forest went viral in 2023, John Hauldren, PJ Carberry, and Josh Tarum went from local DJs to global stars. But as they conquer more of music’s biggest stages, they’ve navigated the scene with wisdom beyond their years and stayed true to the values they learned on the dance floor as young ravers. The longer they continue climbing, they only get more impossible not to root for.  Our third issue, “The PLUR Issue,” explores what the American rave scene’s defining motto means to its community through the lens of its biggest champions. Known as much for their sunny disposition as their wobbly dubstep tunes, our fitting frontmen explain how the path to success is paved with kindness. As Levity returns to EDC Las Vegas for another landmark performance this weekend, we’re sharing free copies of Maniac Magazine at the festival’s 30th anniversary edition.

Maniac Magazine is back, and Kaskade is our issue two cover star. In the second issue of our collectible print magazine, we spoke with the deep house legend about the places, faces, and sounds that have defined his more than 25-year legacy in electronic music. For the eight-time Grammy-nominated producer and DJ—born Ryan Raddon—the thread that links his long career is not just awards or milestones; it’s the energy, connection, and light he creates in a room full of people—a shared experience that transcends time. Now, as he returns to Coachella for another landmark performance, we’re marking the moment by sharing free copies of Maniac Magazine at the festival. More details coming soon. Not heading to the desert? Limited copies are now available for purchase at certifiedmaniac.com. This is our culture. In your hands.
