Ikonika video interview
Interesting video interview with one of my favourite producers of the moment, the immensely talented Ikonika.
Last days of the superclub?
Looks like Fabric’s days are numbered…
The rumours have been doing the rounds since Matter announced it was to close for the summer. It will be a great loss to the London club scene if Fabric were to go down too.

It was pretty much the first form of dance music I got really into, and inspired me to buy a set of old decks off a friend and take up mixing, something I still practice to this day, but I had grown tired of the stilted genre in these past couple of years, turning my ears towards the seemingly more fertile musical … Continue Reading

Anyway, to kick things off, here’s a picture of a dog wearing a seasonal hat:
