inthemix.com.au was one of Australia’s premier dance music sites during the 2000s.

I wrote for itm from 2002 until 2010, mostly focusing on reviewing events based in Adelaide, and interviewing mostly triphop, drum and bass and breaks artists.

A selection of inthemix articles is found below.

Funny thing is I love it, but the reason I don’t like a lot of the dance music made … Continue reading The Bamboos – Side Stepper →
• Krafty Kuts - Chatting to Martin Reeves, aka Krafty Kuts, in the morning is a sure fire way to brighten your day! He’s jovial, chatty, and a lot of fun.
