Weekly Transmission 46!

Howdy partners,

After the boshing excess of the past two episodes, this week's podcast sees the masterful Faze Action serve up a mesmerising mix of disco flavours old and new to get us doing the bump all the way up to Christmas. If it doesn't put a smile on your face, you're worse than Scrooge himself...

House music pioneer Todd Terry was on the phone to us this week following his new release on 1Trax, we had a lengthy chat with Faze Action, got further into the Bristol dubstep sound with scene-leader Pinch, got Luke Solomon to tell us about his 7 most treasured records in our new Desert Island Disco feature, checked out Fat Freddy's Drop's return to London, and got the lowdown on some future-D&B with Hospital Records offshoot Med School in our New Talent section.

There's news and reviews on Ladyhawke, A.Skillz, Beardyman, Squarepusher, Joker, Kate Lawler, Dessous, Ultra Music Festival, Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Buraka Som Sistema and loads more, chances to win over 100 CDs, VIP tickets + CDs from Markus Schulz, Deadmau5 goodies and more, and there are newly-added videos in DT-TV from Kid Cudi vs Crookers, Newham Generals, Death In Vegas, MGMT, Addictive TV and more...

So forget about the Xmas shopping for another week and get stuck in!
DT xx

A.Skillz ft. Krafty Kuts & Beardyman - Happiness / Got The Rhythm
on : Finger Lickin'
Reviewed By: BenGomori

A.Skillz rarely puts a foot wrong. We love his unique style round these ways - bridging the gap between partyrockin' hip-hop and breaks at a comfortably groovy tempo...

Bluba Lu - World Melancholy

on :Blubalu Records
 

A Bulgarian trip-hop tribute band anyone? That's essentially what Sofia's Bluba Lu are, and this new album shows that they're an extremely talented bunch.

Various Artists - Dessous Classic Volume 1: The Best Of 10 Years

on :Dessous Recordings
 

It's not mindblowing, world-changing music that Dessous has ever been about, nor has it always been about satisfying the dancefloor. What it has always guaranteed however, is groovy, sexy, beautiful house music...
