dB Magazine was one of Adelaide’s two main street magazines in the 2000s. I wrote for dB Magazine from 2002 until 2007, mostly focusing on what can ostensibly be called “dance music”.

Whist The Original may not sit well with those who love only the hardest of breaks, it is a good demonstration of Nubreed’s broad range and extraordinary talent. And, for … Continue reading Nubreed – The Original
- Speedy J - Speaking to Speedy J aka Jochem Paap is quite a refreshing experience. He has a practical theory behind his work but, unlike a lot of artists with theories, he is neither conceited nor arrogant about it.
