I get it and without knowing who they are or what they sound like i assume i wouldn’t be a massive fan. I guess what the do is something very different. I just meant coming prepared with some blends you tried out before, some proper bpm stickers and a slim but working bag is underrated.
£25 for a magazine… £25 POUNDS FOR A MAGAZINE!
Does it come with 4 more magazines inside?
Exactly… Faith is free and just costs me the postage. I don’t mind paying up to maybe £10 if it’s really good. Did Jocks & Nerds ever get beyond their first £25 issue?

fave Red Bull was the Moodymann one where his personal assistant was doing his hair. I think excerpts of the chat were then sampled on a big house record by somebody else!
