Also we have an updated disclaimer we advise everyone visting this page to read up and understand.
Also we will have a few surprises up soon, such as our music stream, which will be back up soon, but also we will NOT be posting music softs (sound libraries, vst, tutorials etc,) magz, and or vids due to that just being too much for us. But we have links to great sites who do that job for ya :]

The Rebirth Of MUSICKONTROL IS HERE!! We have brought Music Kontrol back to life so stay tuned for updates :]
Hey,
Hope you are well and had a good weekend.
We are working on a series of events on behalf of San Miguel. They are putting on 5 music events over the summer, under the name Hidden Depths. There have already been 2. The first of which was in London at the Soho Revue Bar, which is an amazing venue actually. Prior to the event no one knew what the line up was, just that it was hosted by Mark Jones of Wall of Sound. The secrecy of the line up is the running theme of Hidden Depths. So in the end, everyone was treated to the likes of Shortwave Set, A Human, Propellerheads, and The Infadels, and lots of free San Miguel.
The second event was a couple Thursdays ago in Manchester, at a venue called Joshua Brooks. It was a unbelievable night. It was covered in Hidden Depths decor, big leather sofas, and huge LCD screens showing art film. The highlight though was definitely the music… obviously. Again the public were only aware that The Glimmers were going to be there. In the end though the crowd was blessed with the likes of THE Grandmaster Flash, and the Unabombers. The Glimmers smashed it, Unabombers smashed it, and The Grandmaster definitely smashed it. Here is a review from another blogger that paints a good picture http://www.buzzinelectronicmusic.co.uk/the-glimmers-grandmaster-flash-unibombers-hidden-depths-event-manchester/98 .
So that’s Hidden Depths so far. There are 3 more events to come. Secretsundaze, Chromeo, and It’s Pop It’s Art. Secretsundaze is on the 31st July at T-Bar, London. Featuring the likes of Theo Parrish, James Priestley, Giles Smith and 3 more TBC. The Chromeo event is 21st August at The End, there are another 9 acts playing including Annie Mac who was surprisingly epic at Glastonbury. The final event It’s Pop It’s Art, is on the 18th September at The Amersham Arms. Hosted by Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly. Please DO NOT release these line ups on your post. This is just for YOUR knowledge, and gives you something to work with when you write your epic post.
As a committed music blogger we would really like you to get involved and talk about the events. There is an opportunity for you to come on down to the events as we have a few select tickets we are offering to key bloggers. You will be treated like a VIP and there’ll be free San Miguel on offer to the guests on our list
There are opportunities to have face to face interviews with the DJ’s on the nights or email interviews before the events if you cannot make the event.
We also have some competition prizes if you wanted to run a competition on your blog, and your users can win some cool prizes e.g. we have some Glimmers albums “GeeGee Fazzi”, Wall of Sound albums (we have signed & unsigned copies) and some exclusive Chromeo mp3s.
These are “ticket only” events, so if you users would like to attend, all they would need to do, is register for a chance to get a free ticket on the Hidden Depths website: http://www.sanmiguel.co.uk
Let me know if you are interested in being involved and we can discuss this further!
I look forward to your reply.
Kind Regards
Rupert
