Soul music collector and sometimes DJ from Stockholm, Sweden. Part of the Family Circle collective and one of the promoters behind the Stockholm Soul Weekender.
Had a truly great Saturday night at the Ukrainian Club. Outstanding music in a perfectly suited (and dark!) venue full of up-for-it people. Really was everything they said it would be and then some. Special thanks to Simon and Emma for taxi service, a tidy bedroom and an endless supply of food and drink throughout the weekend — you are gems.
