By Alex Lodge (@alexlodgemusic | Insta @alexlodgemusic7) Alex Lodge is a music supervisor for film, TV and advertising at Thirty Two.  Normal service resumes this week after the inaugural Guest List last week with Rick Pike from PVT (check it out here if you missed it). Kicking off with some beautiful soundtrack vibes from legendary film composer John Barry, we follow with a Starkey Remix of Einaudi from the ‘In A Time Lapse’ album, the David McCallum that Dr. Dre...

Music festivals have always been places to pick up various ailments, alcohol poisoning, food poisoning, and possibly the odd STI, but there is now been an outbreak of measles at a lot of UK festivals. Public Health England has said that music festivals this summer have become somewhat of a hotbed for measles this year. They have signalled a “significant number” of cases of people picking up the disease while enjoying their favourite music with thousands of other party go-ers....

Fort Process is an expansive multi ­disciplinary music and arts festival that takes place in the evocative spaces of Newhaven Fort in East Sussex. After an acclaimed, sold­-out debut in 2014 the festival is back for a second edition, with an extensive programme (in excess of 100 artists) featuring site ­specific sound installations, international musicians, talks, films, poetry and workshops. The Fort Process experience is quite unlike any other: half the festival­goers are hidden underground, making their way through a...

By Grant Bailey (@GrantDBailey) Earlier this year I was tasked with breaching the walls of Berlins' most exclusive techno club, the Berghain. Notorious for its secretive door policy, the club turns away thousands of visitors every year for not meeting their stringent and elusive entry criteria. Needless to say, my efforts to get in were in vain. Now, the Netherland's Beyond Festival are saving punters the price of a plane ticket by bringing the authentic Berghain experience to them in their...

The Secret Garden Party, a music festival in Cambridgeshire, was the first in the UK to use illegal drug testing, last weekend. It is thought around two hundred people used the service, so they could ensure that their illegal drugs did not contain any additional harmful substances, reports the Guardian. The charity, The Loop, offered the tests which was allowed by the police and council. The possession of drugs was still be illegal but an amnesty was offered to people...

Buckingham Palace Rideout 1st May The weather was on my side and what a day it was. Just seeing Carnaby Street rammed with Mods and their trusted Vespas and Lambrettas was a cracking sight and every tourist’s dream! What I’ve learnt in the short time I’ve been documenting the Mods is when they say they’re arriving at a certain time, they really mean it. So it was an early start from North London to make sure I didn’t miss a thing....

By Alex Lodge (@alexlodgemusic | Insta @alexlodgemusic7) Alex Lodge is a music supervisor for film, TV and advertising at Thirty Two.  It’s sunny so the logical thing would be to bang out loads of bait summer tunes, but obviously I’m not going to do that. We start with an old track from The Gaslamp Killer that I first heard on a CDR demo I got sent by his management about a decade ago. Still remember how blown away with it...

An exclusive exhibition of seminal rock photographs from Ross Halfin are to go on display at The Indulgence Show in Hammersmith. Halfin has been photographing the biggest names in rock music since the 1970s, when he first picked up a camera while at art college and snuck it into gigs being performed by The Who, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Free. Each day at The Indulgence Show (14-16 October 2016 at Novotel conference centre, Hammersmith, London) a major exhibition of many...
