Weekly Transmission 49!

Holla!
We're back at full capacity now after easing ourselves into the New Year, and girlfriend have we got a show for YOU! Australia's DJ Agent 86 kicks us off with a glorious podcast of disco, funk and electro to get you slinking your way into the weekend...

We pull no punches on the feature front this week - it's big news all round. We talked to Fedde Le Grand to find out about his love for tech house and about his long-awaited album, let Commix set the record straight about their future in drum & bass, got the inside story on London's newest club Ghost, spoke with Afro-house legend Osunlade, went to see if Lee 'Scratch' Perry is still off his rocker, and got some Bulgarian trip-hop education from BlubaLu in the New Talent section.

There's News & Reviews from the likes of Royksöpp, John '00' Fleming, Wu-Tang Clan, Mr. Oizo, Roger Sanchez, Oliver Huntemann, Santogold, Chuck D, Speedy J, Martinez, Thomas Schumacher, P.H.A.T.T., Bryan Kearney and loads more, and new competitions to win guestlist for loads of top London parties, like Basement Jaxx's return to Brixton, Marcel Woods at The Gallery, Deviate, Pacha and free entry to matter for the whole of February!

Finally there's newly-added videos in DT-TV from Rex The Dog, The Chemical Brothers, Phonique, Minilogue, Samim, Eric Prydz, De La Soul and Gorillaz - perfect for those 5 minute breaks from work...or 30 minute ones...

Enjoy yourselves and remember - no diving in the shallow end!

BlubaLu
 
Yes they borrow a hell of a lot from a certain pioneering trip-hop act from Portishead in Bristol, but BlubaLu's latest incarnation on their World Melancholy album with singer Roni is most certainly worth your attention.
