Our dear friend Martin Blix is featured in OUT right now on MY CITY Our Favorite People, Our Favorite Cities.
“Martin Blix may boast he knows the city better than a cab driver, but the Stockholm-born-and-bred DJ and singer (for house band Domenicer and ’80s Hi-Nrg band ItaLove credits his Parisian boyfriend for keeping his visitor’s perspective forever fresh.
