OFF Recording‘s very own Dashdot brings you a little something to war-up for the week-end! If some of you are headed to a long couple of days of Weather Festival, this podcast might be a fine starting point! Enjoy the mix!

Poping colours on a large piece of silk sounds like a good way to approach the summer doesn’t it ?  Read more »

Sunday Girls: the girls we would like to bring home Sundays and present to the family. This week, bombshell Miriam Adler plays in the garden with a sprinkler. I’m gonna buy a sprinkler too.

Gentlemen know their wine-pairings. That’s a rule. If like me, you’re too lazy to memorize the whole pairing map, remember you can come back to this post and use it as a cheat sheet! (Enlarge the table by clicking it)
