Guest Post #1 - EXOTICA

The first installment of what will hopefully be many guest posts on 'WTD?'. Basically what we'll do is have a little bit of info, a mix (if possible) and then a playlist consisting of a 10 song journey into the mind of that artist. A minimix without the mix.

First up: close friend and DJ, Exotica (Oli Ashley)



Oli is currently attending Point Blank music college in London as well as working as a studio assistant and audio engineer at Rinse FM and interning at label, Nightslugs. His passion for music is unequivocal, I honestly know no one who is as involved in what they do as he is. I have had the pleasure of deejaying with him on several occasions and have seen him go from strength to strength. Oli has recently gained a residency at Mo*vida in London which although may not cater to his more underground preferences I'm sure will be an invaluable experience. More excitingly, there is the prospect of him hosting a show on Rinse FM, which I'm sure is only a matter of time.

Below is a recent mix
