Welcome aboard to...
...our new contributors!The past month has seen a fair few new faces cropping up about the site, so allow us to make some introductions...
The man responsible for the recent slew of live music reviews from the city of São Paulo is Martin Longley, seasoned scribe for The Wire and The Independent, and sites such as bbc.co.uk and The Stirrer. Martin is currently hanging out in Fes, taking in the sights and sounds of the 13th annual World Sacred Music Festival. Lucky git.
Those who frequent the darker corners of London's electronic music scene will most likely have bumped into Derek Szeto, aka Stormfield of Combat Recordings. Derek recently interviewed purveyor of messed-up robot rave music Milanese — you can read the piece here.
A warm welcome to Bristol's John Sevens, who reported back on the first ever Bloc Weekend — the two-day festival that took place earlier this year in the chilly confines of Pontin's holiday camp, Hemsby, UK. You can read his amusing and applaudably coherent coverage here.
A large glass of sherry to Jon Weinel, who dons his magick space cape and dives headfirst into the brain-rattling sounds of La Peste and the Hangars Liquides label. La Peste (Laurent Mialon) has a cult following in the area of extreme electronic music, and we're pleased to host this in-depth article on his work, together with a selection of audio clips from Hangars Liquides.
A glass of glögg and a steaming plate of meatballs to Tim Claxton and Daniel Blewitt, who bring a taste of Sweden to Spannered with two reports on street art from Stockholm. Check out our gallery of sticker art snapped around the Swedish capital, and take a peek at the wonderful bird box art of the mysterious Klister Pete.
A carafe of rosé to Porto's Soopa crew, who are shortly to come aboard the site with regular text and audio contributions. These guys possess a far-reaching knowledge of Portuguese language music, which they will be passing on to you lucky people over the coming months.
A huge custard pie in the face to Edward Blake, who readers of the Overload Media site may remember for his obnoxious record reviewing style. Well, look out, because he's been rummaging through the post at Spannered's PO box. PR companies take note — send us rubbish and we may well send it to him.
And finally, a special mention to Jonny Polonsky, who contributed book reviews to Musicalbear, which can now be found in the Spannered archive. Jonny is behind The Voice of Slavery, an ongoing project established to increase awareness of modern day slavery and to raise funds for various charities working in the area. For more details about the project's aims and those involved, head over to the website here.
Remember, we'd love to hear from anyone wishing to contribute to the site. If you'd like to write for Spannered, or perhaps contribute something you've already written to the archive, get in touch!
