"It's about music! Not one music style is better than the other, not one music style is more truly than the other. The whole thing is based on respect. It's all about respect, respect to the music, respect to the DJ's, respect to the crowd and respect to each other. It's all music, music never separates people!"
Carl Cox

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.

With a calculated approach, Kassian The Protean is a DJ project with the sole goal of making auditors experience the best of melancholic storytelling in electronic music.

Stories with acts, emotional apexes and downs, landscape changes. 

Having been influenced by the pioneers of electronic music such as Hernan Cattaneo, Soul Button, John Digweed and Stephan Bodzin, Kassian The Protean has now mastered the art of musical storytelling.
