Giles Peterson is the latest dj to put his magic to the In the house series for Defected. We’ve been checking out a promo in the shop & believe us it’s very tasty indeed. Keep your eye’s out on www.threebeatrecords.co.uk for upfront copies!

Main man at Duff Note & Guess records - Richard Earnshaw  has been tickling me with a bit of inside info on things to comes this year, apparently his own artist album & albums from Little Big Band & Spiritchaser are all to be expected in 2008. And we can’t wait!

I sit next to Jemmy in work at 3 beat - top lad, top DJ, but boy does he talk. Most of it nonsense. He has just blurted out my fave quote from him today “I don’t have time for this slowness” which pipped “How do you spell ‘line up’?” which is strong enough to have been a winner on another day.

I will update you with more as it happens.

Fergie releases a whopping new EP soon on his own label excentric. This time he’s going even deeper than usual (his sound is continuosly developing). We have the cool ‘Anon’ which is the toughest of the bunch, more techno than anything and relentless. Then we have ‘Senderon’ taking things deeper, yet still rather slammin to say the least! Finally we have (my favourite) ‘Senderoff’ proving that fergie likes it deeper too, sounding much like the stuff that Digweed (et al) are all spinning.

This Ep is produced by Dave Robertson (who also the label boss for Fergie) is is proving to be a pretty cool producer certainly worth his salt…
