This is good news. Will be interesting to see how it’s practically enacted but from what I’ve heard it follows the model in football where big clubs help to support grassroots- helping to ensure future players are nurtured. V v important for small clubs

Absolutely love this tune! I heard it on a free CD given away by a magazine (old skool). Then tracked it down on vinyl a few years later. There’s a tool that goes into an infinite loop on the record, very clever. Still love this track.

Extremely proud to be nominated for a @radioacademy award for How The UK Changed Hip Hop Forever presented by @AshleyWalters82! Loved making this series so it’s great to be recognised by my industry peers.
This new podcast by @EmilyDust is full of club culture excellence, hustler mentality, history, DJ tips, tricks great interviewing. A few more independent club-oriented pods have launched lately (incl No Tags Queerly Beloved) - subscribe to them all!
