:: Play On ::

Chris Lake & the tower where he stores his immense talent!
Another show jammed with hot new tracks and cheeky remixes. I kicked off with the latest tune from the supremely talented Chris Lake. This brilliant track shows shades of 'Change', but is also a more developed song with his signature piano sound. I recently watched a video of Chris making this tune and learnt the secrets of how he created the mighty bass sound. Awesome!
A welcome return tonight for G Club 'Guittara', re-worked by Funkagenda. Amazing feedback for this as well as the Marilyn Manson bootleg - so thank you for all the text's, emails and phonecalls. I really don't know what to say about the return of 'Guittara' with Funkagenda at the helm, apart from I know I'm just not going to tire of listening to it - or playing it. Fantastic stuff!

The guest mix tonight saw us re-visit the Freemasons Mix from last year - so a quality way to wind up the evening session.

:: Cop That ::

Missy E: Cop that bootleg!

I started this week's show off with an 'official' bootleg from the record company, that they are using to promote the brilliant Rudenko, a track I've been pushing for a while now.  Adding Missy E's rap sure gives this tune extra pace although it's a fantastic release in standard from from the brilliant team at Data.  If only they'd taken my bootleg for the release.  Sulk :-(

So, I sneaked my own bootie in as the second tune (well you would wouldn't you) before getting underway with the show proper.  Some great tunes and feedback this week, so thanks if you took the time to text the studio, phone, or badger me via the net.

No guest on the show this week, but a top-drawer guest mix from the wonderful Groove Aramada, which rounded off the evening quite nicely - even if I do say so myself!
