Author: Digby Category: Features Summary: Tired and disillusioned, DJ Fresh almost gave up music altogether. Now, with a live band, he’s taken d’n’b and dubstep to the very top of the charts. <em>Mixmag</em> finds out how...

Many will know DJ Fresh for his two recent and consecutive No 1 singles: ‘Louder’ and ‘Hot Right Now’, the latter featuring guest vocals from Rita Ora. But Dan Stein actually began his music career in his late teens as part of drum ’n’ bass collective Bad Company with dBridge, Maldini and Vegas. A few years later, in 2003, he founded Breakbeat Kaos with Adam F. The label was hugely influential in pushing the sound: most notably they signed Pendulum, whose album ‘Hold Your Colour’ took d’n’b to the masses.

Our man on the ground, Johnny Lee, reviews the Mambo opening, which suffered from one unpopular guest...a big rain cloud

After two weeks of skin frazzling sunshine here in Ibiza, San Antonio’s busiest bar, Café Mambo, opened it doors below a thick, bruise-like monster cloud, which looked as if it might explode with thunder and electricity at any moment and which refused to allow any of the thousand or so of us who turned up to watch the sun drop away on the world’s most famous horizon to actually witness the event.
