It’s the first time in Dubai for James and Basic Monkey, accompanying Leftfield for their set at the Sandance Festival, Palm Jumeirah.

Using the same show programmed for New York on Jands’ Vista ...

After a hugely successful and hectic week in Paris, I’ve arrived in Tokyo for my last involvement with the Thomson Reuters Eikon launch campaign this year.
