Side-Line welcomes Leydi Villegas to the team !
People come, people go as we all know. This time we have the pleasure to announce you the arrival of a brand new team member: Leydi Villegas! Hailing from Mexico City, Leydi has been quite helpful in fixing meetings, bringing us into contact with local industrial music people and to network on our behalf. We have been in contact with her for the past few years and after meeting up again last January in Mexico we decided it was time she’d step onboard.
Here’s her bio in her own words: “My name is Leydi Villegas and I’m from Mexico City. I studied communications and took a photography course in 2005. I currently do adminstrative work at a football licensing company. I belong to one of those hibrid generations born in the 70’s. The ones who lived the evolution from analogue to digital. I am now priviliged to belong to Side-Line’s staff as a correspondent in Mexico. Part of my collaboration will be to promote and review local and international concerts, interview artists and share current events.”
You’ll be hearing more from her in the next months, and besides that she’ll be active behind the scenes to bring you extra information and music. Her profile can be found in our Staff section.
Support Side-Line
More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
