This weekend's show will feature Labour of Love Founder Pete Lever and Tom Hallmark on the decks for a guest mix. Pete will be going down mid tempo street and Tom will be playing his usual selection of ginge house. I'll also have a little chat with them and get around to playing some music myself. There'll also be a competition as I've got three copies of the new Claude Vonstroke Fabric mix to give away. Keep it locked.
Here's a few words about the competition prize.

That's not new age as in tree-hugging hippy bollocks, just as in rebranded. CVS reminds me of Derrick Carter in his approach to the mix, which is as high a compliment as I can pay. He doesn't have the big man's skills, or way with a vocal, and he does rely on a veritable smorgesbord of what's hot and hip at the moment, rather than DC's ability to literally turn shit into gold. Derrick, (I can call him that because I've met him), is the most idiomatic DJ I've ever come across, the literal meanings of the tracks building his sets having a completely different relevance in the mix as opposed to when played alone. CVS isn't quite in the same league, relying a bit more on his funky machines to do the work for him, but, like DC, he's an unashamed party starter. His transitions don't always work as well as they should on this mix, but he's obviously not afraid to take a chance, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that he hadn't even rehearsed parts of this mix. I like the element of surprise when mixing. Keeps things interesting.
