Background

History

Prior to founding It's Psychedelic Baby! Magazine, Klemen Breznikar operated the webzine Hippy Music, where he wrote reviews and shared classic releases from the 1960s' and 1970s' psychedelic music scene. [27] Hippy Music launched in June 2007 and was modestly operated through Blogger, with Breznikar writing under the pseudonym Iban. [27] It ultimately closed down after a year and a half, in late 2008, due to Breznikar's busy school schedule. [2] Breznikar was then studying at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Arts where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Library and Information Science and a Master's degree in Book Studies. [28]

In September 2010, Breznikar decided to take a year off from school and start a new online magazine. [2] Originally launched under the lengthier name It's Psychedelic Baby, That's What It's All About, the webzine's first post was published on October 3, 2010. [2] In the summer of 2011, the website adopted its abbreviated name, It's Psychedelic Baby! Magazine. [29] The blog was originally hosted through Blogger, though it eventually moved to its own .com domain name on July 7, 2016. [30]
