| Good stuff, dark, introspective DnB without forgetting the beat. Thanks for sharing, whereabouts are you based? | |

| Isaac Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it I am based in South Africa. I found your website on Linkreferral while running a search for forums. I also run a forum myself and ran a search to see who else was running a forum and I found yours and decided to contribute. Nice thing you doing here on the site. Wanna exchange banners or links? You can check out my site by visiting http://drhutchinson.weebly.com/forum.html this is what I really do, and the music is a hobby I do for the fun of it. Where are you from?

| South Africa eh? Lucky devil, I'm looking forward to watching the World Cup there on TV next summer. I ask because there's a DJ called Mandrake based in Birmingham so I wondered if you were one and the same.
I'm based in the UK, in fact I write this forum and the associated blog for my work at the Loughborough Echo, a newspaper based in the East Midlands.
I shall hook up with you on LinkReferral, although the link you posted seems to be down at the moment. | |

| There actually seems to be about 3 DJ Mandrake's around the world. But I just call myself MaNDrakE Sorry about the link, your website seemed to have included the comma I had after the link as part of the link, if you try it now it should work. So you get paid to run and maintain the blog and forum? I see the forum is quite new like mine. So what are you essentially trying to do with it?

| Well I don't really get paid for this, I have to write news and such like for the paper, this is a sort of enjoyable sideline which gets me free CDs.
Basically I started the forum to go alongside the blog, to encourage discourse between readers and myself, and so I could talk about things related to music kind of off the record, and maybe get a few cool recommendations out of it.
I'm quite pleased so far, but I've not really got much more of a plan. I'm not in it for the money, that's for sure! | |

| Well I like what you have done so far, also had a look at the blog. Sorry wasn't sure if you were doing this for the newspaper or not. So now I know it's your personal baby, nice one. So how long you being doing the blog and forum for? Make any of your own music? | |

| I kind of do it because I don't make music of my own any more. I used to be in a couple of bands that wrote their own stuff, I made some stuff of my own of Fruity Loops, DJ-ed a bit, that sort of thing, but now I give others a leg up where I can.
I've been doing the blog for about a year-and-a-half, but the forum's only about a fortnight old. I write the entertainments section for the Echo as well, helping out local bands and promoters where I can. | |

| I see you found me on Linkreferral So which are your favourite genres of music? I am sure being an entertainment writer you get to see a lot of gigs new venues, etc. Must be fun. When I was a student I worked in a jazz club here in Jhb. Definately one of my best jobs. Saw a lot of good talent go through that place. I was good fun. So off topic, besides linkrefferal, how else have you been advertising your forum? | |
