It’s after midnight. One half of Client Liaison, frontman Monte Morgan, is backstage removing his shirt and adorning a talisman-like chestpiece while his bandmate, Harvey Miller, smoothly strides past the vintage office mise en scene (replete with fax machine and appropriated Diners Club logos) to pour himself a cup from the water cooler. The crowd is in their hands after the stellar preceding... Read More

Being signed to Claude VonStroke’s influential Dirtybird label in 2009 put the highly eclectic Julio Bashmore house sound on the radar. While the man known to his postman as Matthew Walker now resides in London, in the late ‘00s he was going against the bass-oriented grain that had firmly lodged in his hometown of Bristol, preferring the finesse of house. Walker admits he sometimes felt like the... Read More
