In addition, they are forming part of the substantial group of music-based companies in the ‘Silicon Roundabout’ tech cluster area of East London which includes Last.fm, Soundcloud, Songkick, Fizzback and Mixcloud among others.
We spoke to them as part of our “Roundabout Tapes‘ series of interviews.
