Weekly Transmission 95!


Where all the Ho Ho Hos at?

Yep, like it or not, the festive season is upon us. Time to splurge out on that Warp boxset for a loved one, or treat yourself to an executive box at the O2 on New Year's Eve. Or just do as we do and take every available opportunity for mid-week carnage just because "fuck it, it's Christmas" (almost).

Specifically, we're talking about the Data Transmission Xmas Party next Wednesday 9th December. Entry is free all night, we've got loads of free shots to shove down your gob before 11PM, and tunes come from the awesome electro producer Phonat (and our good selves, playing some of our favourite tracks of 2009). Click the banner above for more details and please come and celebrate with us!

This week's Podcast comes from Norway's underrated producer genius Ralph Myerz, with tons of new, unreleased material and disco grooves new and old to keep you warm on this chilly December day. Meanwhile our Round-Up Podcast is packed with new music from the likes of Carl Craig, Skream, Roska, Prins Thomas, Adam Freeland, High Rankin, Floating Points, Psycatron and more.

Don't forget we're now selling the cheapest online tickets for London club events - http://www.datatransmission.co.uk/tickets.aspx – including New Year's Eve events like Eastern Electrics, Liason and Moondance, and upcoming parties like Need2Soul, CTRL_ALT_DEL, House Rules, Zombie Soundsystem and Smartie Partie.
