Joe Muggs
Bio
Joe has been writing about culture - and even more so about subculture - for just about every title under the sun for 25+ years. He's the author of three books about club / soundsystem history and his ongoing series of long-form interviews, with portraits by Brian David Stevens, is over on Bass, Mids, Tops and the Rest . He can be found DJing anywhere from bougie pub gardens to avante-garde noise cellars and is a militant Joni Mitchell fan.
