- Digging Deeper: With Love Vol.1When pressing a record it's easy to get caught up in the project management and formulaic marketing tactics. With the release of this compilation it was clear there was a deeper story to unearth, and I wanted to make sure our audience was able to see this as well.

- Mr Bongo Fanzine - Vol.1We wanted to find a way to showcase the incredible stories from artists, labels and music lovers that we admire.

It's a beautiful tool for brand development, and i'm excited to see where the next few editions take us, as well as the feedback from our customers and community.

- "With Love: Volume 2" Compilation on Mr Bongo RecordsMy second 16 track compilation part of a yearly series on Mr Bongo Records. All tracks discovered, licensed and compiled by myself. Due to all tracks being independently released in the past, all tracks are licensed direct with the rights holder (artists, songwriters and producers). "Compiling the follow-up to a very successful first album is always a tricky task, but just 12 months since the release of volume one in the 'With Love' series, miche has excelled himself once again with another glo
