Kerri Chandler DJing live

For DJs with a packed touring schedule, gigging at one iconic club after another, finding the time to sit down in the studio can be nearly impossible.

The result is ‘Spaces And Places’, and it’s some of his best work yet

“Sorry, it’s a little dark in here. I usually have club lighting on down here, like with rotating heads and stuff,” Kerri Chandler says, with...

Over the past two decades, West London DJ and producer T.Williams has worn many hats, from his roots in grime and jungle through to spells in garage and soulful melodic house. His recently released debut album, ‘Raves Of Future Past’, finds him freed from all limitations, and pays tribute to this wide-ranging career. Here, Ben Murphy speaks to him about writing songs versus bangers, the freedom of expression of the early 2000s era, and how he made his classic track ‘Heartbeat’ with Terri Walker

“That cross-section between a banger instrumental and a nicely crafted song was always something that I really enjoyed,” says T.Williams, reflecting on the kind of...

Morgan Geist returns to his original house music inspiration.

Best known as one half of nu disco/deep house duo Metro Area, Morgan Geist's new moniker — Storm Queen — is about to have a bona-fide chart hit with the previously released 'Look Right Through'. The track has had a long gestation period: produced with singer Damon C. Scott, who shot to prominence for being filmed singing on the NYC subway, it was signed to Defected at the end of last year and the MK dub became an anthem in Ibiza and at many festivals over the summer just gone.

It's that time again! Many years ago someone decided the day after thanksgiving was a good time to do some shopping, and now we get...
