MIMS Talks with: DJ PLATURN (Oakland, US)
When he’s not providing the Bay Area with his broad spectrum of sounds, or curating his 45 Sessions brand, it’s a safe bet you’ll find DJ Platurn doing the back end work that makes him one of the finest disc jocks around; digging for records, making beats, and crafting some …
MIMS Talks with: GUS SUTHERLAND
We’ve been following filmmaker Gus Sutherland’s exploits for a while now. Earlier this year, we dropped the trailer to All Ears, his documentary on the L.A. beat scene. The All Ears UK premier took place yesterday, so I took the chance to catch up with Gus on All Ears and …
MIMS Talks with: HIATUS KAIYOTE (Australia)
I’m blessed to say that most of my friends are super creative souls, so most of our hangouts involve some sort of artistic stimulation or creation rather than mundane chilling sessions. This particular evening my boy was having a jam session at his place when he decided to enlighten us …

B-Dub – I first came across you via Myspace about ’08/09 (remember that?!) and the 1st track I heard was Muthafunkagetsbeatdown, and that one still does it for me. That’s a solid Hip-Hop style banger, which is what your roots are. How’d it all start, Sard? SARD BOOGIE – Yes I …

Lexis “My Favorite Album Covers” Interview in Scion Mag
When Scion Magazine asked me for an interview I figured it would be pretty easy; didn’t know they were going to ask me such a hard question: “Pick 3 album covers that you love and let us know why”. Ouch. Tough. Every music lover could list an entire book’s worth …
Lefto Interview (Brownswood, Belgium)
“Club culture has changed a great deal over the last 30 years. Nowadays, DJ’s become household names in a matter of months. True players like Theo Parrish, Louie Vega, Harvey, or Francois K – DJ’s that can play for 10 hours straight – are hard to come by… but in …
