With May's recent failure to complete a challenge where he had to prove that two instruments playing in a different key on the same song wouldn't result in a horrific mess, the question has to be asked. Just who has been in on this? The dance music press are probably…
These days, he seems to spend a lot of his time ranting and raving about how the government is going to arrest anyone who tries their hug their granny. Or something equally ridiculous. Yes, I am indeed talking about Danny Rampling, who used to be an okay-ish DJ but who's…
A friend of mine mentioned yesterday that I haven't written about DJ Sneak recently. Well, I'll be giving an update on when Traxsource Freedom Day is for Sneak sometime next week. In the meantime, I thought I'd have a look around to see what he's been doing lately. Posting all…
New York State has decided it will be renaming December 18th "Earl Simmons Day" in honour of DMX, a rapper who died three weeks ago. We know this because Mixmag told us - the same Mixmag who couldn't care less who he was until they realised they could make money…
