Weekly Transmission 014!

Hey y’all

What’s good? Well, we’ll tell you – for a start the weekend begins tonight (come on, who takes the Friday before a Bank Holiday that seriously?), and there’s tons of stuff on this weekend to keep you rocking right through ‘til Monday afternoon.

This week on Data Transmission, we’ve got interviews with Jerome Sydenham and Zoo Brazil (two of the hottest names in house & tech right now), a New Talent feature on the sun-kissed downtempo sounds of Aeroplane (think Zero 7 meets Lindstrøm meets Salt Tank), and reviews of dubstep behemoth Why Not? & intimate D’n’B bash Rupture in London, and Radio 1’s Introducing event in Edinburgh with Krafty Kuts et al. All that plus news and reviews on Portishead, Moby, Sancho Panza, Ghostface Killah, Tiësto, Loco Dice, Meganite, Armada, Goodgreef, RZA, CSS, Together, The Roots, Mason, Gregor Tresher, Two Armadillos and loads more...

Plus we’re giving away signed Sasha emFire CDs plus tickets to see him this Saturday at Circus in Liverpool, goodies from Paul van Dyk’s label Vandit, Radioactive Man CDs + tickets, more chances to win a year’s subscription to DJ tutorial site SonicAcademy.com and Boys Noize CDs, and your LAST CHANCE TO WIN A PACEMAKER!

So grab a brew, kick back, and get stuck in....
DT xx
