Si Hawkins, Clash Magazine

What are you up to here at SPOT? I’m mainly here to write concert reviews and some more general stuff on the festival, but I’m also going to be attending some panels. I haven’t planned which concerts I’ll review, I’m just hoping to find them as i go. I actually did a top 5 of my favorite SPOT concerts some time ago. I remember Kellermensch was on there; they got me into the heavier genres.

Which shows are going to go to? There’s so many I’d like to see. But I’ll definitely be checking out The Hearing and Liss. I heard Velvet Volume earlier, they are amazing.

Hi Jesper, what do you guys do at musicstylist? I’m a music supervisor. I get hired by different brands to find music for their ad campaigns and such.

Martin Tilschner, finetunes

What are you doing here at SPOT? I’m mostly here for the networking. Scandinavia isn’t the biggest market for us, but we’re always looking for labels to “hand over” to our partner, Phonofile.

Which shows are you going to watch? Liss, Wangel and M.I.L.K all look exciting.
