Review: Bugged Out Weekender 2016, Butlins, Bognor Regis, England

Review: Bugged Out Weekender 2016, Butlins, Bognor Regis, #England #buggedout

Words by Rick Tipton For most people, a solid festival experience is made complete by the crew of friends surrounding them. Whilst this is exactly the sort of thing you could venture into solo and leave having made lifelong chums, for me BOW says a lot about friendship and all the while, acts as the perfect mechanism to stave off those January blues. Let me tell you why! This blustery little spot…

Preview: Bugged Out Weekender 2016, Butlins, Bognor Regis, #England #buggedout

Words by Rick Tipton. Well it’s safe to say, we’re pretty excited about this one! Line­ups this good don’t come about very often. They’re also tough to put together, unless a little effort’s been made before hand. Bugged Out‘s twenty years in the game puts them in a unique position. A position that enables them to orchestrate dance music events as good as anyone. Ones that boast spirituality,…

Review: Purity Ring @ Berghain, Berlin November 2015.

Review: Purity Ring @ Berghain, Berlin November 2015.

Usually it takes about this long to recover from a session at this monstrosity of a club, but this time it was something completely different. Purity Ring live at Berghain was not to be missed, and the masses all had the same outlook, with the gig selling out in advance.  Not catching the support act, we rolled in an unusually calm fashion, as all other times we didn’t have a golden ticket to…

Skaters - "Mental Case"

Skaters – “Mental Case”

New music by SKATERS out of New York City, was always going to be welcomed by us with open arms and ears. We are still thriving off their debut record Manhattan and we have been meaning to put pen to paper and tell the world we are loving their new tune. In their signature fashion “Mental Case” is riddled with guitars, crushing harmonies and as always the distinctive front man vocals which we…
