Alex Metric

After a few hectic months, stumbling around in a boozy stupor, I feel like the clouds have lifted and with the spring sunshine beating down on Seoul, A glistening landscape of musical promise has slipped into view.

Bring on a potentially amazing month of gigging with the mighty Slaughterhouse-Jive (Venues all around Seoul, brace yourselves for the onslaught!), and DJing around Incheon and Seoul as Re:drum.

To commemorate the passing into an altogether sunnier phase, check Alex Metric's recent essential mix. 2 hours of eclectic beats that'll have you grinning like a cheshire cat.

In the words of Elvis Costello: 'Pump it up until you can feel it!'
