Right, you lucky lot. We’ve got not one, but two, pairs of tickets to give out for London Electronic Dance Festival. The line up looks sick with acts like Soulwax, Aphex Twin, Goldfrapp, oh and David “Damn, who’s a sexy bitch” Guetta. L.E.D is on the Friday and Saturday of the August bank holiday...

So on Saturday morning I headed to Brighton station to begin making my way to Hainault. I got a bit worried when I was sitting around waiting for the late Lutworth to arrive as I saw a lot of proper youngsters with camping gear who I suspected were heading to the same destination. Anyway,...

Not knowing much about jazz poetry i was naturally intrigued and he offered to do some especially for us. So here we have a Smack That exclusive. Jazzman John recorded on...

The line up was pretty atrocious anyway, apart from seeing the Fall, Saint Etienne and the Blockheads who else was there really? There...

What colour is a mirror? Is it the colour of whatever it is reflecting? Is it clear/invisible? No. The correct answer is silver. Silver seems to be the new black at the moment. Starting the new decade in the most futuristic way possible, the youth in the south-east are covering themselves from top to toe in shiny, metalic, reflecting silver.

In six months time we’ll all be dressing like Mr. Aprons.
