N-Dubz - Papa If You Hear Me [Video]

I know im seriously late with this one but its taken me all this time to feel this track! Last Saturday i was with N-Dubz and they performed this track and tore it down! Fingers crossed for a number 1 its getting so much airplay. N-Dubz work damn hard and their album drops very soon too!!!

KISS Academy Plus

Last Saturday i was at The Roundhouse in Camden, London for the KISS FM Acadmemy. There was only around 30 people who were accepted so i felt kinda privaliged. The academy is basically a day of different workshops run by the workers at KISS FM. Workshops included:

• Presenting with Neev & Jez Welham
• Station Sound
• Editing
• Basic Mixing with Justin Wilkes
• Advanced Mixing with DJ Swerve
• Q & A with Manny Norte
• Production with Lord Fader of The Loose Cannons
• Specialist show producing

There was also a suprise performance by N-Dubz, they performed I Swear, Ouch and Papa and killed it!!

Although some of the workshops such as the mixing & scratching ones were slightly basic for me it was still an experience to have people like Swerve teaching you and kinda fun to see peoples reactions when they were struggling to do a basic beat match and i straight up did it 1st try lol!

Matt Lomax - Editing


Justin Wilkes - Basic Mixing (check the back of my head 20 secs in!)


Lord Fader - Production


Neev - Presenting

Craig David - Insomnia [Video]

I played this track in the mix on Podcast #33 this week (get it off my Myspace). Its kinda hot and i know it will be a smash!

DJ Swerve

DJ Swerve is the reason why i got into deejaying, hes the reason im at where i am right now, he is my God. I've been lucky enough to meet him many times and sit in on his shows at KISS FM, he was also one of the judges at the competition i won, 'Are You The CK ONE' in November 07.

Last night on KISS he announced it would be his last ever Sunday Selecta show.. 'wtf' i thought?! He said their was good news to follow and he wasnt joking! He announced that he would be doing Monday-Thursday nights 9-11pm (used to just be Tuesday nights). This morning i got this sent....

'Just a quick message to let you know what the big announcement is.Starting
from tonight I will be on Kiss 9-11pm on Monday-Thursday, that's 4 shows a
week!I'm really excited about it and would love those of you who can to tune
into the first show tonight.The new format takes all the best bits from the
Tuesday show (mixes, special guests and exclusives) and adds a brand new
request section (the spirit of Sunday Selecta lives on!).The home page featuring my blog, tracklistings and cool videos can be found @www.totalkiss.com/swerve. You can also access the Kiss Kube to listen again to the latest show.Hope you can catch it!'

Thats got to be one of the biggest promotions you can hope for right?!

Looks like KISS is making major changes, Dynamite MC has been dropped from Monday nights, Big Ted & Shortee Blitz from Wednesdays and MK from Thursdays, though Blitz and MK will have a Sunday night show replacing Sunday Selecta. Now wheres that WM show!?!

Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak [Album Cover]
