Issue 5 of Mixgrill (2002) reads like a graffiti zine caught in a back alley rave — noisy, bold, and proudly offbeat. This edition kicks off with a chromed-out intro courtesy of the Chrome Angels, laying down the foundations of style. Then it's off to Italy with PDB Crew, before diving into the concrete playground of Rue Watt in Paris’s 13th arrondissement — raw, industrial, iconic.
The Métro section offers a rush of steel-on-steel action, while Toulouse explodes across six pages of burners and hardcore wall work. As always, Mixgrill keeps it dirty but clever: Graphitisme twists your perception of style, and the Wiesbaden Jam delivers a flashback to one of the most legendary Euro Jams — pre-influencer, post-B-Boy renaissance.
From Métal Brûlant to Tuning Session, the unexpected always sneaks in. One page on food (Gastrologie), another on tricked-out cars, and yes — an illustrated essay on dogs and cats. But it all makes sense in the Mixgrill world, where graffiti meets urban absurdity with a crooked smile.
Closing out, the fanzine offers a sharp and snarky strip — Les Poukaves by Eras — reminding us that style is nothing without attitude, and that the streets still have a lot to say.
