www.festival.examplemagazine.com

Yes people, its issue 16 and were heading into spring hence our uplifting cover taken on the beach at Bloc weekend.   We've got lots for you this month as always.  Expect news from our travellings to Bloc last month, some reviews of the latest Planet MU and Hyperdub releases.  After our mix series went a bit quiet we thought wed start hitting you hard again and this month we've got two exclusive mixes one from local boy Dub Phizix and another from welsh DnB collective KZSS.   Example TV will also be making an appearance continuing our series of in depth video interviews with the cream of the Manchester music scene. 

           Im also pleased to announce our new SUB EDITORS,  Stuart Maccallum and Robyn Brookes who are taking the reins in the dnb and life/culture sections of Example.  As well as our new Head of Photography ERIN. Unfortunately Omid has had to go on holiday for a few weeks so im afraid that cyberwaste wont be making an appearance until his return.   But weve got a few new features starting up that you will like.

So keep locked people its gonna be a big month and weve got some even bigger things in the pipeline for may and june. ;)
