December 23 2024: The date we announced our first Mixmas winner - Fireworks Factory.

Neither he, or we, had ANY idea what would follow this announcement. He was only meant to win a DJ set, instead he's become a core member of our creative collective and has had a profound and very positive influence on the brand. We've released his music, twice, and done quite a few more shows than the single gig he was promised and we have so much more to do in 2026 and beyond.

But first we look back over the year he's had and the journey we've shared. From my cringey over-excited first interview with him exactly a year ago all the way through to his recent single Back To U / Infinite Crashing Wave, this extensive interview maps out and explores the trip we've been on both from Max's perspective as an emergent new generation artist and from my perspective as a new label that is purposefully going against the grain at a time when a huge amount of the industry seems obssessed with only profits, metrics and maintaining an increasingly depressing status quo.

Despite the raw reality of the current world, 1 More Thing remains a fresh, inclusive, community-minded space that encourages new ideas, urges its crew to break rules and insists on doing things differently. We know that Max Fireworks Factory shares those ethics too and that vision, too.

December 23 2025: The date we celebrate this chance encounter and ongoing collaboration with a unique podcast. A must-watch for any new artist hoping to breakthrough right now. Enjoy!

For our latest deep discussion Dave Columbo welcomes Dysfunction, a fellow Welsh DJ and advocate of the more extreme outposts of the musical multi-verse.

A long-time friend of the platform but now fully fledged crew; following months of Demo Drop contributions and a legendary donk b2b at a Twitch convention, Dysfunction made their label debut with Confusion EP in November 2025. The EP dropped just days before we recorded this conversation, documenting that strange era of suspense, excitement and fear that comes just before a release.

This conversation goes super deep as Cai shares their origin story, their encyclopedic knowledge of music and theory-trained roots, how they embrace their ADHD as a creative artist and how their mental health has improved over the years.

Loaded with all kinds of technical talk along the way, this chat does not hold back. And there are a few little jump-scares along the way, too!

Check out Dysfunction's Confusion EP. Out now on 1 More Thing.

We're proud to share with you our first podcast with a street dancer. Get to know Imaganimatrix, India's first certified Memphis Jookin practitioner!

Imaganimatrix came into our world through Quentin Hiatus when he commissioned these two incredible videos to help us promote our release with him this summer.

We were so inspired by his moves and his gravity defying art, we called him up to find out about his journey and how a kid from the east got so inspired by a style from the west.

We left knowing so much more. This is a unique story of an artist who is fusing his own path and style between two highly expressive worlds that are thousands of kilometres awway in reality but maybe not so far away physically, creatively and soulfully.

Get to know!
