Good afternoon Data Transmission faithful, and welcome to another dose of news, features, reviews, podcast and more. We’re excited here in the office as we rapidly approach our 4th Birthday! We’re gearing up for a smashing party this coming Saturday where we’ll celebrating at East Village, with burgeoning artists T.Williams, Death on the Balcony, No Artificial Colours, and DT DJs Lawrence Daffurn and Ben Gomori all providing the soundtrack to a huge knees up – if you were at The Big Chill last Saturday for xxxy, D/R/U/G/S, Disclosure and more, then you’ll know that we like to throw a gargantuan bash of epic proportions.
On the 132nd Round-Up Podcast, Ben Gomori kicked off the week with a smashing selection of fresh new music from the likes of Todd Terje, Luke Solomon, Life & Death and much more. Plus, our round up selector Ben and editor Joe Gamp are embarking on a monthly radio show on Strongroom Alive Radio, commencing on Sunday 12th February between 7-9pm, where we’ll be bringing you all the best, juicy bits from the magazine, but in delectable, audio form. Tune in at strongroom.fm!
Our artist podcast this week comes from London duo Dusky. Signed to Anjunadeep and crossing the realms of house, techno and more, the duo offer us an extensive, meandering and flowing 2 hour mix, taking in classics and newcomers alike.
As ever, we’ve got a range of features that are set to tickle the fancies of most, no matter what your persuasion. New Talent duties this week belong to Popular Computer who after releasing huge electro-disco tunes on Kitsune finds his feet within a new sound and ethos, forged from the use of a lowly Pentium 4 computer (remember them?). We looked at our Essential Electro Albums, spending time deliberating and considering the choices from one of the most over arching, loose genre terms in music. We sent our man Joj Sharratt to report from the front line of the inaugural Bugged Out! Weekender. Catz ‘N Dogz caught up with us for a brief chat about Pets Recordings and playing live and finally, we chatted to rising talent and Diskotopia boss BD1982 about the Japanese scene, the worldwide influence of electronica and linking Tokyo and London through sonic appreciations and similarities in sound.
We’ve been busier than bees here at DT towers – but we’re committed to still bringing you the best of the dance music world, regardless.
Until next week
One love!

Featured article
Though the pilot effort of the Bugged Out Weekender is not without its teething problems, organisers have clearly spent a great deal of effort and resources in building an impressive and appropriate artist roster which, for any music festival, ought be a fundamental priority. Bugged Out pulled together a line up that effectively catered to some of the trendiest sounds and scenes in dance and electronic music right now, offering something for more or less everybody over its three day spread.
