I remember being coerced/cajoled/persuaded to do that 'bass to your place' house ad in the '90s. Shout out to former What Hi-Fi? photographer Steve Waters, and former editors Rahiel Nasir (Naz) and Jez Ford – one of these two gents came up with the, erm, 'vision' for the ad but I can't recall which.... (Publishing was different then!) The iconic 'Labour Isn't Working' political ad showing a long, snaking dole queue was the visual inspiration, if I remember correctly.
