I was down at Red Bull Music Academy headquarters in London last night, as I heard they had free beer, Strada pizza and a table tennis table. Sold! Luckily they also were doing a little promo evening for the imminent Culture Clash party (check the link for details- it’s pretty awesome) and I knew that [...]

This month I thought I’d continue my trend away from DJ’s and producers (don’t worry, they’ll be back) and towards the unsung heroes of the music industry world: the visual artists, industry heads and manufacturers. Roy Matthews is a legend in the field of vinyl record production, an engineer who’s spirited passion for vinyl is [...]

Jon Sa Trinxa is an extremely lucky dude. He has (I think 80% of DJ’s would agree) the dream gig. He plays epic sets twice a week to the sun-kissed faithful at Sa Trinxa on Ibiza’s Salines beach, as well as further sets all over the globe, all through the week. To put it simply, [...]
