October 2, 2013The Hydra season continues! The original lineups that Broken & Uneven presented us with from August to New Years Day are a stunning collection of modern and pioneering artists, and last Friday night for 3 Chairs x Nonplus x Eglo at Fire was a good example of how these guys are killing it in London town. By all reports the…
September 30, 2013Woah, ten years deep for Phonica Records and it’s hard to imagine the music and club landscapes being the same without them. Situated at Poland Street in Soho, London, Phonica remains an institution for the music-minded. Ten years ago it was one of many vinyl emporiums in the area, and since then has evolved in to one of the few…
September 18, 2013This is some pretty heavy viewing, nonetheless relevant and interesting for the festival masses, and equally moving for anyone with an interest in music making a difference. Exit festival is the annual four day event in Serbia, in the city of Novi Sad, known for it’s unique setting in an 18th century fortress and stellar international lineups. Never been myself,…
August 28, 2013Ended up at this locale a couple of weeks in a row, and fast turning in to one of my favorite Sydney spots. Lazybones Lounge in Marrickville is proper vibes, mixing the resident house bands with rare record DJs and quality sound. You wouldn’t know what to expect coming up the stairs, but on all occasions we’ve been greeted by…
August 5, 2013Another one for the London peeps; happening this Saturday night at the brilliant Studio Spaces venue in Shoreditch, Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium is going to be creating pure vibes with records. Put on as one of the ever-good Make Me Loft Party events, who never did anything but an amazing party when we were in attendance, you know…

Stellar lineup consisting of the label released friends and family including Free Care (Nick) from Phonica, Tomas Rubeck (who launched it all with LAMPUKA001) and Iori as some of the highlights.…
May 9, 2013As a quarter of DMZ along with Digital Mystikz and Sgt. Pokes, Loefah is one cat who needs no introduction. Big in the scene since early days, the man has contributed more to the musical landscapes pre- and post- dubstep booms then most of his contemporaries will in a lifetime. Looking back it turns out the “Goat Stare” platter was…
April 15, 2013For the London based among you make sure you get down to this next week, headlined by the incredible Nad Spiro, stage name of experimental composer and performer Rosa Arruti out of Barcelona. Rosa’s joined by some proper talent in the form of two-piece Static Memories, Cloudier Skies and raga-drone-psyche specialists Raagnagrok. We’ve been big fans of the Nad Spiro…
March 15, 2013For the London peeps out on the long weekend – what more could you want than an Ostgut Ton x 50 Weapons party followed by a battleship after party to kick on to? Pretty heavyweight lineup on the techno tip comprised of consistently dope legends and the more current boundary pushers who always deliver something special. With Robert Hood on…
February 28, 2013An amazing documentary that I recommend everyone watch. Not your typical (if there is one) offering on refugees or ‘boat people’, this film is going to cause discussion and hopefully a mindset change. Consisting of secretly shot and smuggled footage in countries where the film-makers are no longer welcome, Between The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea looks not only…
