Last weekend the Cambridge Folk Festival took place, and the highlight was no doubt – with all due respect to Laura Marling who was also brilliant – Katzenjammer: four very talented girls from Norway who play some kind of balkan-inspired polka punk. Now I feel like I should say something profound about the massacre at [...]
It’s refreshing to know that the guy that remixed Chaka Khan and Prince to such great effect back in day is still around. It’s refreshing to hear uplifting house music verging on disco still has a place in the world. It’s refreshing to feel the glow of early-evening spring-time. It’s refreshing to know that you [...]

Let’s get the disclosure out of the way first: I’ve been a big fan of Chris T-T for some years having been a fellow Brighton neighbor back in the day (the mighty Rifa did a good job on the promotion front). We were witness to some blinding performances with and without the full Chris T-T [...]
