We travel east for this issue’s main interview to chat to the formidable Cosmicat, Saudi Arabia’s premiere female superstar DJ and producer, and get an insight into the vibrant emerging city electronic music scenes across the region. Closer to home, Leeds-born chart-topper Lewis Thompson tells us how he went from clubnight chancer to collaborating with David Guetta, Joel Corry and more.
