Weekly Transmission 50!

We've reached our half century! We'd get really excited, but we're saving that for the 1st birthday. Anyhoo, Spain's Cristian Varela has delivered us a chunky, funky bitch of a techno mix for this week's Podcast - and there's old skool electro, breaks, drum & bass and hip-hop to look forward to in coming weeks too.

Plenty more bigness on the feature front this week - we say farewell to The End, took DT-TV to Groove Armada's Tom Finlay, got continental with dirty Frenchman Mr. Oizo and Germany's deep ambassador Nick Curly, found out what Ugly Duckling's favourite raps by non-rapping white people are, and checked out French big band tech housers dOP in New Talent.

There's News & Reviews on Faithless, Need2Soul, Phoenix, Super8 & Tab, Glastonbury, 50 Cent, Sasha, Dan Curtin, The Qemists, Wetyourself, Snoop Dogg, Bonobo, Toddla T and loads more, plus competitions to win a Telepathe t-shirt, a Bandito Records back catalogue (featuring Lifelike, Micky Slim & Hauswerks), and guestlist to matter for the whole of February, to see Basement Jaxx DJ, and to Deviate at Scala in London.

Finally, check out DT-TV for new videos from The Prodigy, frYars feat. Dave Gahan, Friendly Fires and Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip vs De La Soul, plus classics from Air, Phoenix, Toddla T, Run DMC and Photek.

Mint!

Various Artists - Kandi Lounge 2009
 on :Hed Kandi Records
 

We'll admit, Hed Kandi compilations aren't our usual bag. Their downtempo ones however, often serve up a lot of tasty mellow grooves, and are well worth a look in.

Ugly Duckling - Audacity
 on :Ugly Duckling
 

Over the past decade, Californian trio Ugly Duckling have provided a welcome alternative to mainstream bling-hop, and indeed to overtly underground keeping-it-realness - choosing a middle ground which is credible, but entertaining, fun, clever, and very funky.
