Weekly Transmission 81!

Selector!

The biggest weekend of the year is upon us - are you excited? You bloody well should be. To warm up for South West Four in London on Saturday, we've got a chunky, trippy techno podcast from German don Timo Maas - perfect weekend fodder. Both South West Four and Get Loaded In The Park are sold out now - if you're coming, look out for us - we'll be filming and asking members of the public some probing questions!

If you're undecided what to do this weekend and you're skint, we've got tickets to give away to a load of parties in the capital - the South West Four After Party, Desert Island Disco, The Garden Party Carnival Special and Eastern Electrics - just check the competition details and make sure you enter by the end of today (Thursday) and check your email tomorrow morning (Friday)

Make sure you check out the latest DT-TV episode, shot at the Rotterdam Dance Parade and afterparty - and check this week's Round-Up Podcast for new music from the likes of Gus Gus, Joris Voorn, The Nextmen, Italoboyz, Fred Balke, Four Tet and 2020Soundsystem.

Whatever you're doing this weekend, have an extra large one on us.

DT xx
