Varna’s Sinful Dragons’ were our Guest DJ at Club Seas on Saturday night. When DJ Mitach one half of the Sinful Dragon collective shared with us a cheeky techno track sampling an old Bulgarian Folk Tale we knew we had to have him play. His beats have real personality & style. It’s a pretty sparse […]Read More
On Friday I went looking for Sigma . Their performance is taking place in an unmarked building in Varna. Before long I realised I was lost and was throughly enjoying myself. I’m staying in a hotel sandwiched between a triangle of 24hour petrol stations, the Railway Station and an Industrial Port. All of this circled […]Read More

There was Conga’s and the bar staff snook out to the dancefloor too. Here is our Top Ten Tracks from the night so you can re-create the […]Read More

We?ve been too busy to do any real exploring of the city as yet, but on first impressions, Odessa is a beautiful place, with […]Read More
