Radiohead’s Exit Music (For A Film) has always had a wonderful, haunting quality – fragile, cinematic, and human. My reinterpretation leans into that space between heartbreak and hope.

Out now. 🎧

Spent a few hours in the studio this week reviewing AlphaTheta’s new CDJ-3000X for MixMag UAE.

It’s a refined evolution of the club standard - bigger screen, sturdier build, smarter workflow, and seamless streaming.

Quality!
