This week we managed to survive the wind, hail and dark rum that Copenhagen thrust upon us and have packaged together the best bits from Distortion Festival.

We discovered that there are as many unofficial happenings around and about Distortion as there are officially included in the festival programme. We were kept in the loop for all such underground events by our wonderful hosts Benjamin and Laura who also let us set up a mini Global Soundtracks HQ in their home in Christiania and kept us provided with pastries and Matilde. Happy times.

We also have a lovely interview and live tracks from Sneaky at his recent gig in Edinburgh. It was really great to hear the reasons for trying something outside of his Fingathing commitments as well as about his love for a certain German kebab.

A big thank you goes out to everyone who let us interview them and use their music in our show. Also thanks to all those who have suggested artists for us to check out in future shows. If anyone knows any stockists of Matilde in London, those of us here at Global Soundtracks with a mild addiction would like to hear from you too!
