Spex (magazine)

Spex was a German magazine focusing on pop culture, music, fashion, and politics. Founded in 1990, it was initially associated with a left-leaning intellectual perspective and electronic music. The magazine developed a reputation for its in-depth articles, critical analysis, and distinctive visual style. Over time, Spex broadened its coverage to encompass a wider range of cultural phenomena. The publication ceased print production in 2008, transitioning to an online format. It has since undergone several iterations and periods of inactivity. While no longer a print publication, its impact on German cultural discourse, particularly concerning electronic music and subculture, remains notable.
