Fresh Kicks 214: RONI

Oct 2, 2024 | djmag.com | Niamh O'Connor

The image of an 18-year-old RONI zooming around the streets of Paris on a motorbike to attend as many clubs as possible is quite badass. It’s one of many memories about her early experiences of dance music she shares with DJ Mag. However, the French-Malaysian DJ, producer and founder of Nehza Records actually started going to clubs much younger than that; she was just 12 when her mother took her to “places where you could go and dance all night long to amazing music”.

Jan 11, 2024 | intercom.com | Niamh O'Connor |Liam Geraghty

A profound transformation is underway in customer service. Beyond the buzz of AI and having to manage teams through organizational restructuring and the evolving notion of support, CX leaders are also facing increasing customer expectations, dealing with the complexities of layoffs, and the ubiquitous task of doing more with less. It’s not a job for the faint-hearted, but it’s one today’s guest, Camille E. Acey, loves doing.
At home with: Madam X in Athens

Dec 18, 2023 | djmag.com | Niamh O'Connor

It’s a bright, sunny afternoon in October when DJ Mag rings the bell of Madam X’s third-floor apartment in Kypseli, Athens. The name of the neighbourhood means ‘beehive’ in Greek, and it’s an apt word to describe the buzzing area full of African and Middle Eastern eateries, Greek tavernas, enticing bakeries, lively bars and old- skool kafeneios that Christiana Vassilakis now calls home. The Greek-British DJ, producer, and KAIZEN label boss has been primarily based in Athens since 2021.

We’ve just seen the release of what’s become the most iconic end-of-year compilation: Spotify Wrapped. It’s a phenomenon that’s gripped the internet since it began in 2016. (Technically, it was 2013, but it was called “Year in Review” back then.

Tzusing's shapeshifting club music

Sep 7, 2023 | djmag.com | Niamh O'Connor

“The moment I heard electronic music, I wanted to make it, and I wanted to figure out what a DJ was,” says Tzusing over Zoom from Taiwan. “I didn’t know what a DJ was doing. I thought the DJ was maybe making music with vinyl. I didn’t know what vinyl really was, you know, just these two black platters. I didn’t know what the hell this thing was, but I just knew they were using it somehow, right?”Over two decades, Tzusing figured it all out and more.
