So we're starting the shortes month of the year late so we're going to have to pack a lot of stuff into the February edition in not very many days. As always we've got a whole host of stuff to come for youj in this month's Example Magazine.   First up this month's cover has to be mentioned.  Gary took this shot of Strategy stage diving after the 4th Marka reload at the last ever ballin on a budget in december '11.  If you missed out on Ballin' on a Budget you missed one of Manchester's best nights going out in an absolute blaze of glory. There was so many Mancunian reloads that they only got through 4 tunes in the whole evening. 

In terms of content this month we've got an interview with Ashes 57, famous for her amazing artwork and photographs if you dont know about her then you will do very soon. Also hold tight for an interview with Dillinja to follow his amazing set at Soul:ution at the end of January and a pile of the usual stuff.  Gary has got a run down of the month's events and will also be at most of them capturing them for posterity and posting them online to piss you off if you werent there.  We're also going to be starting to hype up for the festival season as our inboxes are rapidly filling up with festival announcements so hold tight for all the info.   In the mean time hope you have a nice february. :)
