What Is “Electronic Muscle Simulation” & Is It Even Safe?
CLIENT: SPEEDFIT
OUTLET: PEDESTRIAN TV
When I was about 14, I remember going to a friend’s house where she showed me this black pad thing you could strap to your stomach and it would give you a six pack. The idea was that it would send electronic pulses through your abs and work them out without you doing a single thing. I think her parents bought it off the telly.
Obviously, sitting down and sending electric currents through your flesh is hardly the way to a six pack, but the memory of giving it a go has never left me. So when the opportunity came up to trial something called Electronic Muscle Simulation (EMS), that’s immediately where my mind went.

Film Review: Scream For Me Sarajevo (Iron Maiden Documentary)
CLIENT: DEMAND.FILM
OUTLET: OVERDRIVE
There are few experiences that will instil more pride in the Metal community than watching Tarik Hodžić’s awe-inspiring documentary, ‘Scream for me Sarajevo.’ The film focuses on a series of events in 1994, culminating in Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson bringing his solo act to the war-torn city of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for a single live show. This event occurred in the middle of the Bosnian War of Independence between 1992 and 1996, which resulted in large-scale destruction and loss of life across the city. It’s not hyperbole to say that Dickinson and his bandmates, Chris Dale and Alex Elena, risked their lives in order to bring one night of unity and hope to the besieged people.
