Weekly Transmission 31!

Easy now,

Feeling battered and bruised after the Bank Holiday? Bless you, you little lightweight! Well fear not - the masterful deep house trio Afrilounge have provided us with a truly exquisite podcast of sexy, groovy, mellow house beats to ease your comedown pain! Truly lush. Get it on.

This week sees the final chapter of our European festival round-up, with reviews of two of the biggest around: the 40-day Kazantip Republic in Ukraine (which sees an autonomous state come into existence), and the 7-day Sziget Festival on an island in the middle of the Danube in Budapest. We also gave FABRICLIVE a quick healthcheck before their new club matter diverts our attention in a few weeks, talked to one of Edinburgh's best promotions We Are...Electric about how dance music fits into the world-famous festival up there, and last but by no means least we went over to Soulwax/2manydjs' hotel room to chat about their new mime project. Ahem. We also spoke with foxy young thing Little Boots in our New Talent section...

There's also news and reviews on Dr. Dre, Meat Katie, Milosh, Missil, Motorcitysoul, Chris Lake, Public Enemy, Ibiza Rocks Fashion, Justice, Snoop Dogg, Detroit Grand Pubahs, Talib Kweli & KRS-One, Slinky, Chicane, Tinie Tempah, Style Of Eye and more, plus chances to win tickets to our party at Scala London with Stephan Bodzin, VIP for you +10 mates at Pacha London, Metronomy goodies, season passes to The Warehouse Project in Manchester, to Parklife Festival in Scotland and to Gatecrasher's 15th Birthday!

That lot should sort out your post-Olympics depression.

Play safe
