Offshore tuning
From learning in-house music to understanding what people in a certain country like…DJs sure do their homework each time they take to the console abroad

Diana’s beauty secret
Fancy some beauty tips from former beauty queen Diana Hayden? She is to launch her book A Beautiful Truth in September and says it kept her engaged for the last two years.

“Everything in this book is done by me, be it research or anything. The book is like an encyclopaedia for women, who will find information about make-up or body shape in it. So let me clarify that it is not only for models, but for every woman out there,” she added.
