Interviews

On the eve of the fabric 48 launch back in August, I spoke with Radio Slave aka Matt Edwards, about life in Berlin after Brighton, love, music and what’s driving his new creative projects, which include the fabric 48 mix CD, new releases on his Rekids label and a top-secret art project.

Busking for Cancer Brighton, a mini music festival running from Saturday 5 September to Saturday 12 September, is the latest push to raise much-needed funds for cancer charities, organised by Chris Taylor and friends Andy, Paul Budd, Matt Bassant and Holly.

Writer Tara Gould joined me in the studio for this month’s edition of Writers’ Hub. We chatted about her night Short Fuse, which is currently looking for readers, for Brighton and for Hastings events, and her new literary ambitions: a first novel. We discussed some upcoming opportunities for writers, via New Writing South and Myriad Editions, and we also presented the writing for this month’s theme: seaside and seaside towns.

A great night had by all – ears still feeling the pain. The bellow is an article which Fusion’s Amy Riley did for Trash Menagerie.

Record label owner and deep house DJ, Magnus Asberg needs no introduction here in the UK. The 39-year-old Swedish native has been a solid part of the house and rave party scene in London and Brighton over the past 10 years, and before that in Sweden divided his time as a DJ, club owner, and professional skateboarder and snowboarder.

General Midi aka Paul Crossman is the Bristol-based breaks producer and DJ. He works alongside producer partner Eelz to melt the minds of many by creating speaker-blowing, dub-flavoured breaks.

Bedouin Soundclash, a band with much hype to live up to. Already having scored a top twenty hit in the summer with ‘When The Night Feels My Song’ and receiving rave reviews from the likes of Joe Wiley and Steve Lamaq it’s clear that this band are ones to watch in 2006. I was lucky [...]
