Straight on it then no time to waste… Wow last year was epic for Zone Magazine, we have just celebrated our first Birthday party just before Christmas in the slick Front Door Venue in Dublin and delivered our lucky number 7 issue fresh of the press to you lucky lucky people and what a cracker of an issue it is, jam packed to the gills with banging quality content as usual.

Paul and I are delighted to have on the front cover an exclusive interview with a muzo extraordinaire from Manchester and his now adopted home Berlin, legend ‘Mark Reeder’ whose musical pedigree stretches back to the 1970s which saw him in a band with Mick Hucknall from Simply Red fame to partying with the Pet Shop Boy’s, Westbam, New Order and actually inspiring them to write the seminal dance track ‘Blue Monday’ along with launching the careers of super star DJs building techno record labels, this man is a true pioneer a musical entrepreneur who is known and loved by all in the music industry this guy knows everyone! And now a Documentary has just been released about his avant-garde fairy tale life in Berlin with real BBC stock footage of his exploits, you won’t be disappointed, it’s a fantastic expose of post war life in bomb ruined Berlin the Iron Curtain and the emergence of a unique music scene from punk to techno that has to be experienced to be believed. We couldn’t wait to organize an in-depth interview and he didn’t disappoint with 8 full pages dedicated to him is unprecedented!

We also feature the longest running Irish pirate radio station (over 23 years) Power FM and hook up with the DJs and crew who made it all happen.
