In its print version,
The Deli was a quarterly publication launched in 2004 by Paolo De Gregorio as an overhaul of an earlier, local
fanzine founded by Charles Newman, a music producer and studio owner in New York City. It was published in print until 2019 and survives online to this day as a blog. Its main focus is emerging independent artists in various locales and scenes:
New York,
Los Angeles,
Chicago - it previously covered also
San Francisco,
Nashville,
Portland,
Austin,
Kansas City,
Philadelphia and the
New England area. Its editions have further versions tailored to specific locales, yet otherwise have similar sections: editorials on the current music scene, interviews of music bands and of industry insiders, reviews of albums and of equipment, and classified ads. (In 2011, the magazine's gear reviews ceased syndication, by limited partnership, from the music-production website
SonicScoop, and began occurring through
The Deli technology blog
Delicious Audio.) ==Activities==
