Previously...
MUSIC BUSINESS INTERNATIONAL (1994-1996)
New Media Correspondent during 1995, the year MBI was voted International Magazine Of The Year by the UK Press Gazette. The first regular UK coverage of new media and the internet for the music industry.
.NET (1994-1995)
Contributing Editor during 1995, the year .net was voted Magazine Of The Year 1995 at the IPD Awards. My internet write-ups in this magazine were geared away from the web - highlighting excellence in FTP, Gopher, Email and Usenet.
musicbaud.com (2001)
Editor of the notorious Musicbaud - "the music industry's new media chronicle" - an e-zine covering the music industry's use and misuse of new media. Coming from a UK perspective (though read throughout the world), it provided happening, original content - not the newsfeeds, lists and links that clutter the industry's Inbox. "Kept me reading right down to the bottom... definitely better than crappy newsfeeds. Good work," said Freddie Baveystock from MM design crew Headlight Vision. And thank you Tom Wilson-North at Trust The DJ, Matthew Bannister's new web project for noting, "It's on the right side of satire."
Contributing Editor from 1993 to 1999, for interviews with Mixmaster Morris, author Jeff Noon and the like. A great magazine from the creators of The Big Chill. Bizarrely, "Ian Peel’s Essential Dope" (my Top 10 Tunes of 1994 and Predictions For 1995) is still lurking on State 51.
