Any word if Plugd are doing anything. Not a squeak of RSD11 at plugdrecords.blogspot.com/
Not aware of anything yet but will see what I can find out. To be honest I say they are under enough pressure simply getting the new shop ready to open this weekend. Just having the place open in a shiney, new premises will be good enough for me 🙂
Toby Kaar is playing a live set and a few others are djing so there should be a good enough vibe down around the place.
