The Real Reason MP3s Rule

The Real Reason MP3s Rule

Moving day and a record collection do not go hand in hand…. so dreading putting my records back in order - its been over 10 years since they have been so orderless, kind of dreading it to be honest, so time consuming… I am also looking forward to finding slabs of wax I had forgot [...]

An ode to Detroit…..or not

Over the last few weeks, as happens following every DEMF, the inevitable arguments seemed to have flared up again about the roots of techno and the part Detroit plays in the overall scheme of electronic music.
