Good Looking eh' what's your artist name??
If you wanna find out even more about IG - I was highly surprised to find
out a whole page dedicated to him on the Ministry Of Sound website. They've
got some clips of his new stuff which is out soom on Virgin I think. And
they've got audio streams of an interview tho' I didn't get round to
listening to them.
It was pretty good. They had an early 90's house set from LTJ Bukem of all
people. Also an MJ Cole mix and a nice little set from Danny McMillan (do
check out the stuff on his label). I was quite surprised to find all this
actually. I suppose some props should go to Ministry - though I think their
mag should be banned (or is that censorship?!)
