"FutureActive" is how we we decided to name our dance pages, and since Issue 17 they've been covering, reviewing and interviewing anything that moves, as long as it moves to a vaguely repetitive beat. From the bountiful pen of Jon 'Spank' Emmins, we present the following, in reverse chronological order:
12"s - but it's what you do with it that matters.
Platter Patter - or dance news for those not in the know.
