If there was an Opulent Bible, it would be a compiled back-catalogue of The Fader magazine, and we would refer to it as "The Good Book of All That is Good". The Fader falls into the realm of a music-culture-lifestyle magazine, but with a marked difference. Rather than waiting for an artist to get discovered or a fashion label to break, they go out and find them.

This has seen their journalists fly to Jamaica to tap into the violent, gun-talk dancehall scene, venture deep into the slums of Rio in search of authentic Baile Funk and delve into the trippy world of South African psych-rock. Couple this proclivity for the left-of-centre with the beautiful photography of Andrew Dosunmu and you have a formidable magazine that digs deep beneath the surface of current trends and arts - often revealing what you will be listening to six months from now.
