Calvin Harris has produced a monster of a new track entitled "I'm not alone. Very similar to Art of Trance - Madagascar, it's gonna be massive in the clubs - check it out on the audio player (top right.)

I took delivery of some new gear from New York based streetwear company "10 Deep", similar to stussy, zoo york, supreme etc - which was all good. The bonus was a free mix cd(nice touch) - and this is the pick of the tracks. Quality Hip Hop with a chilled vibe. Play me this and stick a beer in my hand and I'm a happy fella.

I Played this out for this first time in Viper last Monday and it got an awesome reaction - could be a future favourite - big shout to Mr weir for putting me onto it.
Touch Screen DJing!!!
hope this does not take off - check it out though, this sh*ts crazy!
Happy New Year
The Merchant Square at Hogmanay was a nice gig - always good when the sound guy gives you a high 5 and says "I loved it man, that set was awesome" - cos usually these guys are grumpy bast*rds! But big thanks to Pete, the setup was spot on and the P.A was nice and tight - good job all round!!!!
The latest mix is done - a live 29 track mix! I'm happy with it although it's not perfect, anyway the link is here - download it, burn it to a disc and play it in your car, or stick it on your Ipod. If you would like a fancy CD mail me and I will post one to you.

I'v listed some of the tunes I rated and some I hated from 2008, it's all on my bebo blog - have a read here - ross's blog

Don't know if you've noticed or not but XFM over the last few weeks has gone and now 105-106fm is home to Galaxy FM. Personally I think it's a good thing as XFM was entirely an Indie station which was so tedious. Galaxy is more commercial and similar to what Beat 106 used to be like although I think their shows will change slightly to better suit our market. Have a listen and see what you think.

For some time now - my Monday night at Viper has been the highlight of my week. This is due to the awesome crowd who are mega loyal and come party hard every Monday, and I'd like to think the music plays a big part too... So if you aint been, don't delay - send me a mail and I'll whack you and your buds on the guestlist so you skip the queue and have more cash for drinks!!
An example of some of the requests I get on Monday's at Viper :
Kings of Leon, MSTRkrft, Boys Noize, Kanye West, MGMT, Pendulum, The Roots ..... just a small taste.
