In Episode 18, the Kaffeine Buzz Show debuts on the Shoreditch-based Hoxton Radio! Denver and London come together as I featured artists playing in both cities, including Todd Edwards, a world-renowned DJ/Producer that came to Shoreditch at the end of September and performs in Denver Saturday, October 27 at The Hundred party, and then returns […]
