:: Pure Quality ::

A return to the FIRE airwaves last night after my brief escape. I plowed my way through the tunes last night, in a bid to bring you a cross section of upfront house and electro tunes, plus some quality vocal house and cheeky bootlegs. A stack of texts and calls to the studio throughout the evening kept me very busy. Thanks for getting involved.

On Air with the 'Wheels Of Plastic'!

Just after 9pm I featured a new Mixbuster creation - where I've just ripped up Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' into a dirty piece of electro nonsense. Not the first person to do this I know, but it needed a spin. Alongside this was the absolutely brilliant 'Electro Sandman' by Dunproofin' - a purveyor of mighty find mash-ups and mixes and a huge, huge talent! Check his blog out here.

Jason Herd, a guest on the show a few weeks ago, supplied the guest mix @ 10pm, which provided a quality end to the evening session on FIRE107.6FM.

:: Knight night! ::

A great response as always for the tunage on last night's show. Thanks for your feedback. The highlight of course was my very special guest, DJ/Producer and record label boss Mark Knight. Mark will be celebrating the 2nd birthday of Toolroom Knights at the Ministry Of Sound, London this coming Saturday (11th Oct). A massive session is planned to celebrate his fantastic year and the launch of his current Toolroom Knights album - of which we gave away a signed copy!

Mark chatted about some new projects as well as enjoying the recognition he's had for his cover of the Laurent Garnier classic 'Man With A Red Face' that he released with Funkagenda - which has just been voted as Ibiza's number one track for 2008 in the recent DJ Awards.

:: Lazy Like Sunday Morning ::

Lazy afternoons only come second to lazy Sunday mornings. I don't know about you, but there's nothing better than a very slow and lazy start to a Sunday. Maybe read the papers, a bit of soft tunage on the stereo and a croissant or two, all accompanied by a few espressos.

'Snoop Dog was feeling weally woof!'

No snooze time for me this Sunday, as I'm in for Daniel 'BH' Baker this weekend, covering his breakfast show on FIRE 107.6FM. I'll hopefully get a coffee in, and maybe a bacon bap (or two - ahem!), but I won't be sound asleep like this lucky old dawg!

Tune in to see if I manage to wake up for the show!
