Ryan Battles

Ryan started his passion for writing at 21 when he launched a music and fashion fanzine in his home city of Aberdeen. He then went onto to become a qualified journalist writing for national newspapers in the UK and in the United Arab Emirates. He was on the tail end of the Second Summer of Love, heading to Ibiza for the first time in 1990 and like so many came back with a different outlook on life. From then on, he DJ'd and promoted several nights and today runs the 'POV' vinyl only event in London.
