:: Don't Go ::

You may well have noticed the lack of new downloads available. This is mainly due to the trouble caused by a couple of Mixbuster bootlegs doin’ the rounds last year. Ooops! My remix of the White Stripes has ruffled a few feathers and has been pulled from the downloads section.

I’ve made amends for my crimes by getting support for my reworking of Yazoo's 'Don't Go'. The initial feedback has been good and it'll get an airing on the radio soon. It’s not available in the downloads section – for obvious reasons - but can be sourced by emailing: zonemedia@mac.com.

There’s going to be a pause on new Mixbuster material until March as I’m off for a few weeks of collecting deep vein thrombosis and chicken flu. Fortunately, my funky new UDG bag, an iPod full of new toons and some real-life Google Earth viewing should make the gig travelling more palatable.

:: Radio Gong ::

I get to post some v. exciting news this month. Fire 107.6 has won a Radio Academy award and is subsequently nominated for a gong at the Sony Awards later in 2006. This is wonderful news for the Fire Crew, who really deserve this nod from the industry pundits. I’m chuffed to be a part of what is a unique station amongst a back drop of commercial cheesiness.

Fire completes its remit to play dance and progressive music from 8pm each evening in its Pure Fire slot. The line up of jocks and genres on Pure Fire is fantastic including; Chris Bailey’s Hed Kandi sessions, headline sets from Daniel ‘Slinky’ Bailey, house and breaks with Luke Dubyah, R&B with the main man Jay Rachet, as well as the Aquasky d’n’b/breaks slot to name but a few. If you don’t know already, you can catch my efforts to ruin the programming on Saturday nights, 8 – 10 pm.
