 |  | …we’ve got media on the mind. There’s lots changing in the digital world – and most excitingly is the news that Graydon Carter is soon to launch Air Mail, a digital platform and newsletter arriving every Sat. Long live the newsletter! In other news, we’ve been looking at TikTok with interest… what’s next?! With the recent weather, we’ve also been thinking about sunshine. Skip Miami Music Week this year and instead book in for Beat Hotel Festival in Marrakech – or get a trip in to Casa Maca, Ibiza, asap, where the sun is usually shining; more on both below. In other sunny climes… with the inaugural Frieze LA launching Feb 15-17, where the Gucci x Frieze-commissioned Black to Techno will be screened, a last-minute trip to LA is definitely not off the cards. Other than that, stay warm!

 |  | | Nick Griffiths | | | Ahead of Beat Hotel Festival in Marrakech (more on that below), we spoke to co-founder Nick Griffiths to find out what he gets up to when he’s there, and who to catch at the event.
| | Can you recommend us a hidden Marrakech gem?
Le Jardin is a multi-levelled café/restaurant owned by Kamal Laftimi (who also owns Nomad and Café Des Epices). It’s right in the middle of the medina, but opens into an oasis of calm, with lush plants and a delicious menu of Moroccan and international dishes.
