YouTube is an incredible tool. It gives the power for anyone and everyone to showcase their talent to an entirely connected planet in seconds.

Tuesday Tip #16 – Slow Club

Many music fans of the last few years may be familiar with the sound of Slow Club – they’ve toured with the likes of Florence and the Machine and KT Turnstall, and their music was even featured on a toothpaste advert – however, Slow Club’s melodic folky-pop is much more than just advert fodder.

Tuesday Tip #10 – The return of Dance music to the mainstream?

Long gone have the days when all the kids at LUSH were 'raver' types. When Darude was in the charts, when everyone was singing "there's a bullet in the gun, there's a fire in your heart...", and even before that; when Prodigy ruled the day and euro-pop was king (Saturday Night anyone?).
