There are of course times when words fail us when it comes to describing music. In fact, if the experience is difficult or impossible to capture in words, we know we've put on a good party. As they say, 'it's a feeling'.
What we are setting out to do here, in this section of our website, is to pay tribute to the people that matter in our cosmos of music - in interviews, extended reviews and reports from events and excursions, and in our thanks to the people who motivate and inspire us and with whom we celebrate at Voices events. We will endeavour to shed light on those who came before us in representing underground dance music - producers, promoters, DJs, dancers, sound engineers and so on - and feature retrospectives on parties that helped shape musical directions we have followed and developed further…
While in New York, Alex interviewed Carlos and Phil from NYC's Whatever We Want label and No Ordinary Monkey parties, following his and Joel Martin's (Quiet Village) guest appearance at the same event.
