Ultimate X Review

March 8, 2016

A weekend ago we arrived at Grand West on Saturday around 2 o’clock after a somewhat crazy Friday night. We were a bit battered, but excited to be at Ultimate X, the annual action sports fest, only to realise the finals only started at 6. We decided to kill some time hanging around the gambling paradise by having a few drinks between Wimpy and Spur – don’t judge, we knew it would be worth it.

CTEMF 2016

February 17, 2016

For the past three years I have had the pleasure of attending the CTEMF. It’s an event I attend to educate myself a little more about the current electronic music scene and to explore the different subgenres. The city hall acts as the perfect canvas for the colour and culture of this festival – century-old meets new, current and “now”.

Roxette [Review]

February 15, 2016

Roxette first made their name in the 80s, they were really big in the 90s and people started talking about the band as “legendary” and “iconic” in the 2000s. Fast forward to 2016, and Roxette is touring the world to celebrate 30 years in the industry.
