There’s no question whatsoever that 2014’s musical landhouse anthems dominating the top end of the singles chart.
Here’s the next club classic in the making. secondcity has an
element of mystery surrounding him but what we do know so
far is that he was born in Chicago but moved to london at the
age of 12, hence his stage name. Already on board at radio
with upfront additions to their playlists are 1Xtra, Capital and
Capital Xtra, Kiss and Kiss Fresh plus the track has been one
of Zane lowe’s Hottest records in The World at radio 1.
A recent Cool Cuts No.1 and currently in shazam’s prerelease Top 10, we’ve heard Annie Mac, Mistajam, skream
and loads more falling over themselves to declare their love
for this tune and now the stage is set for this to be another
where it’s likely to sit comfortably all summer long. Keep ‘em
coming.

david balfour questions whether pono is the right way forward for high quality audio
Neil Young’s pono high resolution audio
project this week completed its funding round
from many retailers for years already, whilst
many other retailers already offer downloads
minimum standard. in fact, the only things
that really makes pono ‘new’ are the fact
that its hi-res audio ecosystem centres on an
own-brand device. That, and the fact that Neil
Young himself is respected by millions.
There are a large number of ongoing
arguments to be had about what constitutes
‘hi-res’ audio and whether the promised
improvements can actually be ascertained
by the average human. Whilst no one would
doubt the inherent superiority of WAV/FlAC
audio encoding over Mp3, once one starts
to go further up the ‘quality’ spectrum, there
are strong arguments to suggest that people
can’t actually tell the difference between
the formats. What seems certain is that

than the best hardware will lose many of its
advantages before it even reaches the human
ear. in this respect at least, the idea of pono
being device-centred makes a certain amount
of sense – it adds another link in the chain
of ensuring a high quality audio experience.
But have you seen

that pono is not a particularly new concept

displaying them as people they did the early
ipods. And isn’t the idea of portable hi-res
audio kind of missing the point? should such
incredible sound quality not really be enjoyed
in a specially designed environment with
minimum outside interference?
We feel that the whole pono project is
looking overhyped. Yes, there’s a demand for
hi-res audio but does it really need its own
device? And does it really make sense to push
the quality level as high as 24 bit/192kHzAre
noticeably inferior? (if you really want to
of the issues around encoding quality,
we recommend you watch this extremely
thorough video explanation.) Further
questions about pono remain unanswered,
most noticeably around the business model
of the company itself. For example: what cut
will pono take on sales and how much will
be returned to artists? We feel that if it wasn’t
for Neil Young’s personal involvement, the
reaction to the service would be a lot cooler
than it has been.

there’s one thing we should have learnt as
an industry in recent years it’s that we need
to serve music fans with the products they
want. in certain cases, perhaps especially
classical and jazz, the advantages offered

and hardware costs continue to decline, we
suspect that hi-res audio will become a much
more important market segment for the music
industry in coming years. Whilst we look
forward to seeing the market grow, we’re not
sure pono is offering anything as appealing or
as useful as it aims to be.
What we do like to imagine is some kind
of future deluxe bundling offers which enable
best possible way. We can see real appeal

which combine the best parts of the physical

Review: Wide Days
Harris brine reports from the rotd championed scottish music gathering held in edinburgh, 9-10 April
since
its launch in 2010, when it brought together
industry and quite a few from elsewhere. it
speaks for the event that the likes of ppl’s
Keith Harris and The Orchard’s scott Cohen
have attended every year, as have local
luminaries such as the BBC’s Vic Galloway
and Ally McCrae. Moreover, an extended
family of volunteers, crew, venues and longstanding partner organisations the Mu and
ppl, has enabled organisers Olaf Furniss
into a gathering which punches well-above
its weight in the increasingly-crowded
convention calendar.
We found the decision to divide the
programme into one day focusing on live and
the next on rights holders very productive.
This year saw the duo up the ante once
again, with the addition of three panels
focusing on Germany, and Berlin techno
duo schwefelgelb deftly slotted into the
programme, thanks to a partnership with
the German Consulate - apparently signed
off with less than a month to go. Not only
did this lead to a particularly entertaining
case study of Hamburg label Autiolith, where
founder lars lewerenz described how he

and the international business.
This was further underpinned with an

There were several new elements
we found particularly impressive and which
again highlighted the personal touch from
the organisers. They included collection

us, this underpins the fact that it is possible
to host a serious and relevant musicbusiness convention well outside of london.

Interview: Chris Cooke, Convention Booker, The Great Escape
rotd finds out what the panels at this year’s great escape have to offer
address often-repetitive subjects such as
streaming and piracy?
For me, one of the most interesting questions
in the steaming space at the moment is, can
the big players now go properly mass market?
Because from the outside it looks like their
business models require that kind of scale.
A year ago the focus here was all about
making better discovery tools but it seems
there are now an increasing number of
people who believe that a more radically
different approach – and pricing structure - is
needed to appeal to those more casual music
consumers.
We have two of those people as part
Fomenko and Chris Gorman – respectively
founders of Bloom.fm and O2 Tracks operator
MusicQubed. i’m not saying they have
mass-market streaming service yet – but it will
be fascinating to hear the thinking behind their
alternative models.
With piracy, i’m most interested in the
practical ways labels are now protecting their
rights online, mainly utilising technologies that
simplify the issuing of takedown notices.
What are some of the new topics being
broached this year?
The really revolutionary thing the web has
done for the music business is direct-to-fan.
i don’t mean selling t-shirts off a website, i
mean the fact that artists and their business
partners now have a direct line to the core
fanbase – a part of the market often left
under-serviced by the old-style music industry.
We have two strands focused on how this fan
connection is changing everything: Building
A Fan Business, which will look at how all
that data and all those digital channels can
be used to reach, engage and recruit fans,
and New product strategies which will be full
of ideas of products and services artists can
consider developing and making once they
have that direct-to-fan network in place.
We have found a good mix of
people ready to debate the issues
and try and identify solutions
What makes The Great Escape a good
platform for discussion?
in recent years its has started to feel like The
Great escape is an event that is increasingly
attracting people from across the wider
sector – labels, publishers, agents, promoters,
distributors, merchandisers, marketers, the
digital people, the brand people, and of course
artists, songwriters, lawyers and managers.
And we have representatives from all those
groups of people from all over the world.
When you are considering an industry that
is fundamentally reconsidering the way its
artists – the one common denominator – work
and deal with all their business partners, and
trying to work out who should manage what is
now a 24/7 fan relationship, it’s good to have
everyone in the room.
Which panels you do you think will be
particularly interesting this year?
Totally different to the rest of the programme
is our Blurred lines strand, which will review
the other big debate that has rumbled on
this year – the way women are represented
in and by the music industry. everyone i
have spoken to has said this is just the topic
that should be covered by an event like The
Great escape, though quite a few music
business execs have admitted to being
nervous of having to get on stage to defend
the industry! However, we have found a good
mix of people ready to debate the issues
and try and identify solutions, and we will be
considering the wider debate from a British,
American, video and radio viewpoint.
What are the biggest challenges you face
while curating the convention each year?
There are a lot of music business events
around the world, and understandably a lot
of the same topics are covered. so it is a
challenge to ensure your programme stands
out. i’m really excited about the new look
to our programme this year, with six core
half-day insight strands at the heart of it all.
This will enable us to go into core topics in
more detail, to present more research and
have more of an editorial agenda. And it
should make the whole thing much easier for
delegates to navigate as well.
Are there any panels you would’ve have
liked to have facilitated but couldn’t?
There are, of course, a long-list of people we’d
love to get involved in our discussions who
just aren’t available, usually because they are
on the other side of the world on the crucial
day you need them. Though several people
off that list are on this year’s programme!

Chicane
Modena records/enzo recordings
it feels like a while since we heard from
Nicholas Bracegirdle, alias dance legend
Chicane, but he’s still a supremely busy
fella, who remains in demand globally.
You’ll remember he’s the name stamped
large across some of the best-loved club
like Offshore, Saltwater and his 2000 uK
No.1 collaboration with Bryan Adams on
Don’t Give Up cemented his reputation
lives in the French Alps and launched his
Sunset Sessions at Mambo on the slopes
in Chamonix over the weekend. He will be
bringing the party to london’s Ministry Of

Top 10 debut) and Million pound Girl,

Jamaican superstar sean paul could
MOBO under his belt now, expectations
are high for his debut album due later in
the summer. We were very impressed
when we saw him by chance one teatime on the BBC News channel a few
weeks back too, speaking passionately
and articulately about his music and
how he’s changing perceptions of the
stereotypical cultural image we have for
Africa. Blending the continent’s unique
rhythms with that equally-infectious
Caribbean sound, it conjures up a
perfect feel-good summer sunshine vibe
that you’ll simply be powerless to resist.
Catch him live at festivals across the
uK this season including both V festival
sites, Global Gathering, Chester rocks
and Fusion Festival. Come rain or come
shine, you just know he’ll be there summoning up one hell of a party.
