Melvin Benn, the managing director at Live Nation‘s Festival Republic, has unveiled his “Full Capacity Plan” with regards to reopening the entertainment and hospitality industries in the UK, which he recently discussed on BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat.

Todd Terry Reimagines His 2016 Hit “Can U Dig It”
Todd Terry, the man known for defining the New York house scene of the ’80s, is back to ask one simple question—”Can you dig it?” He first asked back in 2016 on Defected Presents House Masters – Todd Terry and is now back to remix “Can U Dig It” for 2020.

Song of the Week: Run the Jewels’ “walking in the snow” Proves Tragically Prophetic
Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify New Sounds playlist.
