We’re chuffed to bits to have him and Wall Of Sound curate an afternoon of live music at the Lock Tavern next weekend where he’ll be showcasing some of Wall Of Sound’s hottest new talent....
THE Q&A CRAWL: SWAY
Derek Andrew Safo - or Sway - is signed to Akon’s label, Konvict Muzik, for a very simple reason: he’s reinventing British rap, as an artist and a producer, and he means business.
Sway was born in our very own London, and has been producing tracks for the city’s acts since he was a kid. Whether as founder of underground production company Dcypha, or under the solo banner...

Last Week at the Crawl...
Allow us to tell you a cautionary tale, a parable in the style of stories of old. It has a poor young protagonist, let’s call him Vincent, and it has a setting, let’s call it the Camden Crawl HQ. It also has a moral, and that will become clear in the telling.
On a fine Monday morning, Vincent was given a task. It seemed a simple job, and Vincent was confident of being more than...
