Like I said three articles ago (here, to be exact), my boys and girl in INFRAKTOR made quite an impression on the RCA guys and were invited to open for them in Porto. Now I don’t know if they were … Continue reading →

DESTROYERS OF ALL had been great the first time I’d seen them but they are much better now! Congrats for the evolution and also for making it to the finals – which everyone was expecting, anyway. The day before they … Continue reading →
