Annie Mac Saturates: Inside the Question
One of the most respected entities on the planet in both the worlds of dance music and broadcast news is the one and only BBC. And the two BBC Radio 1 shows I generally listen to at some point during the week are the ones presented by Pete Tong and Annie Mac. So when I [...]
Magazine Shopping on 17th Ave
Justin Martin recounts being honoured by the one and only dnb maven and Metalheadz boss Goldie while adorned in a giant diamond in the corresponding mag pic. I met Goldie for the first time last week in Miami, and I had one of those life moments and got a little emotional behind my sunglasses. He pulled [...]
Downtown Service

Stampedin’ v.100
I stuck it out and witnessed the one thing people around these parts officially hold closest to their hearts, the Calgary Stampede. This was the 100th edition and attendance records were shattered.

Synth Bank
Just look at all these electronic music makers. Aren’t they lovely? Don’t they just inspire you. Don’t they just take you higher? I feel like I should write a haiku about it, except that I don’t particularly like haikus. But I think you get the point. Basically this is a wall of possibilities… possibilities that I [...]
