:: Get Ready ::

I've had a great Summer of mixing and mashing, even though the weather has been pants! You wait though, September is going to be a cracker! One thing that has boosted my morale has been the incredible response for my ABBA remix.

I've also had some great feedback on some of my most recent mash-ups. Thank you if you took the time to email me, comment via MySpace, or text the radio show. I will be uploading some of these mash-ups for your sticky-mitts over the next few weeks, so get ready to grab!

Keep smiling.

:: Terminal Illness #2 ::

As I travel the globe as an 'international man of mystery', 'holiday-maker', 'superstar DJ', 'assassin', or 'trolley-dolly' (delete as appropriate), I have to put up with the mind-melting monotony of being held hostage in ghastly airport terminals that seem to exist in every country. Admittedly, this one tries to entertain you with a train ride between terminals. It doesn't work. It's still very, very boring.

This months featured terminal: Gatport Airwick.

:: Where's the Summer? ::

Some great new releases have hit my decks just in time for this late Summer sunshine!? Here's a brief round-up:

The legend that is Betty Boo is back! Do you remember 'Doing The Do'? Well if you do then you must be really, really old! (cough, cough, cough.....) The gorgeous Miss Boo, aka Alison, has teamed up with producer Jack Rokka to release this cracking electro pounding dance track onto the UK's unsuspecting dancefloors.

D.Ramirez & Mark Knight are two of the most talented dance music producers on the planet. They have had a new track 'Columbian Soul' bubbling away for a while now. If you want to dabble in the world of electronica then go and dig this out as a great way to be introduced into the dark world of beats, bleeps and bass. Oh yes, and they're coming to town soon...

Vee Scott is the first real vocal house track to appear for Summer 07. Lots of industry types were getting very excited about this track. A brilliant balance of happy vocals and uplifting house loops. A perfect track for the barmy summer nights!

If you've listened to my radio shows, you've probably heard me pushing the Bournemouth based production/breaks trio Aquasky. A new venture from them is 'Dirty Boy' by The Stereo Hookers. Put simply, this is a brilliant track, with catchy lyrics and a great guest remix from Steve Mac.

And finally, Dutch duo Hi_Tack are back and they have quite simply surpassed themselves with their remix of David Bowie's 'Let's Dance'. Bowie quite rightly loves it and has given it his full blessing. It's a great commercial dance tune that is going to introduce yet another generation to the genius that is Ziggy Stardust. All together now: "Ground control to Major Tom...."

Cheers.

:: Tonight's Mixbuster ::

Tonight's Mixbuster session is now available online. Featuring tracks by Moby, Mylo, Black Riot, Basement Jaxx, Madison Avenue, Goldtrixx, De Nuit, Reflekt, Criminal Element orchestra, Benny Benassi, Lovefreekz and Touche. However, the most feedback on the studio text was for my Tony Christie mash-up which featured at the end of the mix!

I'm not planning on making it available as a separate mash-up, so grab it in this exclusive (18 min) mix whilst you can!

The Mixbuster on FIRE 107.6 (Tuesday 14th August 2007)

As always, thanks for all the support.

:: Cutting Crew Remix and Chat ::

Regulars will know that I remixed the Cutting Crew's 80's classic 'I Just Died In Your Arms' this year, turning it into an electro-house track. I managed to get full support from the lead singer Nick Van Eede for my re-working, of which I was very excited and very honoured.

Earlier in the year, I interviewed Nick for a radio show on Beat 365, with fellow DJ and bezzie mate Paul Stevens. Meeting Nick and hearing the epic original, spurred me on to re-mould it for the modern dance-floor.

To hear the interview with Nick Van Eede, visit the Beat 365 website and go to the podcasts section.

To hear the remix, go here. Why not sign up as a MySpace buddy whilst you're there?
