"A Year Of Magical Music" - Music Is The Answer Special 2009 Review

A YEAR OF MAGICAL MUSIC
“MUSIC IS THE ANSWER” – SPECIAL EDITION REVIEW
31ST DECEMBER 2009


Well, what a year it has been for music, amidst one of the biggest global economic downturns, we have been privileged to witness not only some superb tracks, compilations but also scintillating sets for a whole host of D.J’s across gAylist/land London. So, this is our look back on 2009, with for us, MUSIC definitely being the answer.

So, where do we start?, Well, probably at the head of 2009, focussing on the years notable D.J. live sets, which kicked off with three parties & performances on New Year’s Day that were to influence our year in more ways than one, as Brent Nicholls, Nick Tcherniak & Paul Heron made an average Matinee good. And these three were set to lead us astray a plenty, with the central theme being Barcode, whether it be outings to Industri, to Soho or to Vauxhall, all three managed to play the sort of music & sets that had us in naughty moods & hedonistic happiness. Indeed, they failed to disappear from our radar all year, with sparkling performances from Paul at many a Matinee party, but especially at the May Bank Holiday event, Nick playing one of the great b2b sets of the year at Trade/Orange with Steve Thomas on August Bank Holiday, then repeating it at Trade’s 19th birthday bash, while Brent excelled even his high standards, first at Matinee’s August Bank Holiday spectacular, then again at “The Next Chapter”.

So, what about the rest, and believe us there are plenty to mention, although real highlights of the year have to be performances from Mikey D at Beyond (more than one), Jamie Head, both alone at Beyond & Profile Bar, but the simply amazing b2b set at Trade/Orange of theirs on August Bank Holiday. Then we have to mention Hi-Fi Sean for an absolutely stupendous set at Orange Summer of Love in May, Phil Hewson for entertaining us with an impeccable performance at Hustlaball and not forgetting the performances of Italian D.J./Producer Danny Verde, who’s career really took off in 2009 & his appearances at Matinee’s August Bank Holiday party & then “The Next Chapter” were real highlights. Other quick mentions have to go to Pagano, Alessandro, Fat Tony, Hugh Stevenson, Steven Artis, Mattias, D’Johnny, The Sharp Boys, Oliver M & Pier Morrocco, all who had an influence on our year through super sets, wherever they were.

Now we come to the two remaining D.J’s yet to be mentioned, with no round up being complete without including the legend that is Steve Pitron and we cannot begin to list the amount of staggeringly incredible sets we have savoured from him over the years, 2009 being no exception. Notable performances were at SuperMartXe’s 1st Anniversary party, at Beyond Belief in September, Orange Summer of Love in May, but the best of his was at Beyond last weekend (20th) when he literally set the main room alight with an outstanding set of perfect proportions, putting him really close to the top of the pile of our choices this year. But the best set of 2009 for us (although it was a close run thing) goes to Guy Williams, who triumphed at DTPM’s “The Bitch Is Back” party, truly rocking Paramount to its foundations. He has had a brilliant year musically and for us remains a real draw at Matinee, has played a major part at Trade, has had measured success with Hoof, Reverse & Black Rabbit, but it his set at DT that really stands out, an awesome experience indeed.

So, with the D.J’s sets covered, what about the tracks that took our musical world by storm this year? Well, there has been such a wealth & array of tracks within the sets of these D.J’s that made it big for us in 2009 and like the sets themselves, the choices were so extensive, we have spent hours deciding which tracks would make it. The best 10 have been difficult to decide upon, but our choices are made and are final. The question is, are they your favourites too? or if not, why not take a listen and see what you think.

Now, most likely the biggest track of 2009 has to have been Serge Devant’s “Addicted”, which has probably been played on every single dancefloor, at every single party/event we have been to this year, without exception and will go down as a classic anthem along with tracks like “Sunday’s At Heaven” & “Miracle”, but despite that it didn’t make our top ten. Oliver M dipped into the studio to produce a great track with Jean Philippe entitled “Strings Of Motion”, but that didn’t make it either, nor did notable remix works from D.J/Producer’s Pagano, Danny Verde & Steven Redant , which whilst made a big impact on the scene, Pagano’s “Back To The Future”, “Danny Verde’s “Let Me See Your Underwear” & “Express Yourself and Steven Redant’s “Discotheque” being biggies in their own right, failed to make it into our top choice as did Hi-Fi Sean Dickson’s remix of our fave 2008 track “Get Busy” even though stood out and still remains our favourite of his work.

So what did? Well, Arno Cost’s “Cyan” is there, as is Laurent Wolf’s “No Stress”, two absolute corkers. Then, Bingo Players vs Chocolate Puma’s “Disco Electrique” really hit the spot during 2009, as did the Velarde; Vitti & Luque track “Serious Emotions”, both which got serious airplay on dancefloors and in some of our favourite compilations, with D.J. Tatana’s “Spring Breeze”, really knocking on the door of our top five tunes of the year. The choice then became really difficult as the next two tracks filled a big part of our year, Julien Jabre’s “Vicious Circle” being a feature of more than one mix in our 2009 collection as was right there, as was Norman Dorat’s “Last Forever”, which looked destined to grab top spot as far back as April, we also wrongly predicting that it would be as huge as “Addicted”, , but in failing to do so, it slipped out of our top three (just).

So, we came down to those top three choices and what were they? Well, after much deliberating and considering all the others, three really did stand out from the rest and were tunes that played the biggest part in our musical journey across the last 12 months, although we can hardly separate them. Truly taking us & indeed the dancefloors by storm in just the last few weeks was Erik Morillo’s “Get Lifted” with the brilliant vocals of Deborah Cooper. Never has a record captured our imagination quite as quickly as this did (well apart from one) and this track looks set to play a major role in D.J’s sets not just over the coming New Year period, but well into 2010, but, after much self debate, it came a close third. So, what two tracks piped it to the post? Well, it just had to be there, a brilliant find by Paul Heron and one that became our favourite “hands in the air” tune of 2009, Zoe Baldwin’s “Release Me”, which we first heard at Industri back in June, but has slowly infiltrated many a set & was played twice by Fat Tony during his set at DTPM in November. We still go absolutely mad when it is played & Messrs Nicholls & Heron really know how to hit our sweet spot with it, selecting it as they do. But, as good as it is & as much as we love this amazing track, it failed to make number 1 (shock, horror!!).

So what amazing record knocked that off top spot? Well, Soul Avengerz’s “Drop The Bomb” did which in some ways was as much a shock for us as anyone. Now, have you scraped yourselves off the floor yet? Well, why did it make it over all those other brilliant tracks? The answer is simple really, it has been THE track which has on virtually every occasion this year, after leaving a club to make our way home, safely & securely kept us entertained, whether the journey was long or short. Since hearing it as far back as January, we have been truly enchanted by it and despite how good “Release Me” has been, how fabulous “Get Lifted” is, how amazing “Last Forever” was, “Drop The Bomb” is something extra special. No, you probably haven’t heard it in D.J’s sets or on dancefloors, it might just empty them, but it has been the one constant, the defining track of our clubbing journey this year and we absolutely love it!! By the way, if any D.J. out there fancies giving it some remix treatment, we will love you forever.

Well, with that shock over, what about the compilations of the year? And where can you find them? Well it goes without saying that many of the D.J’s mentioned in our best sets part, are also feature here, the first mention going to Nick Tcherniak, who we covered quite a lot this year and following one such post, were privileged to have our work included on his music site. We devoted a special post to both him & Steve Thomas, following their brilliant b2b & solo performances at Trade, SuperMartXe & DTPM and we were sent to heaven & back at Barcode on our birthday, as Nick played a ton of terrific tunes. We can’t single out one mix of his, but you can take your choice at http://nicktcherniak.podomatic.com. There was also the wonderful work of Steven Artis, a tore de force at Juicy & Barcode and he was absolutely tireless in the studio recording this year. We absolutely loved the combination of deep & dirty sounds with uplifting & funky house tracks, so typical of his sets, displayed perfectly in a whole series of his compilations, which you can find at http://stevenartis.podomatic.com. Another man really busy in the studio as well as on the dancefloors of our fave gAylist clubs in 2009, was Hi-Fi Sean Dickson, who was a real influence on us during the year, not just for his music, but the ongoing “mirrorball” antics we shared together. His compilation series of mixes, Tech Noir & Psychedelic House never ceased to hit the mark, as did his dedication to Juicy, so you should go take a visit to http://hifisean.podomatic.com

During 2009 we devoted other special music posts to tip top clubs Beyond & Matinee, focussing on talents including D'Johnny, Alan K, Jonny M and Steven Redant, also devoting one to post to the fabled Soho Live event, in which we featured a brilliant mix from Beyond star Mikey D, entitled “Get Lifted”, which was close to reaching our top two choices of the year. We recommended this at the time & continue to do in and short of insist that you add it to your collection, which you can still grab at http://mikeyd.podomatic.com. Other D.J’s we covered were French fancies Leomeo & Gaeten Scott, also including the lovely Eduardo de La Torre in three posts this year, all having produced some fabulous work & making an impact across the dancefloors of Europe.

But ultimately, it came down to two D.J’s and two of their mixes that fought for our attention this year. Interestingly, they were both right in the thick of it during many of the clubs & events we visited in 2009 and will probably continue to be during 2010. We covered their careers in a special post released earlier this month, but one that was well overdue and more than deserved to two unquestionably talented & accomplished names with the world of D.J’ing, especially in gAylist London where they are probably know to you the best. They are of course Brent Nicholls & Steve Pitron and deciding to put these two at the top of our compilation choices tree was one of the easier end of year decisions we had to make. We kind of said everything we needed to in our recent post, so it is now just down to the mixes that made it in, and whilst they have, between them produced a staggering 22 compilations, stretching to a complete 36 separate volumes (incl extended mixes), thus, incredibly racking up over 44 hours of music in the mix!! Steve’s Beyond “Ice” compilation was & is simply incredible, Brent’s Lo-Profile “Live” mix is fantastic, but both couldn’t quite match Mr Pitron’s “Addicted Vol 1 – Part 1”, released in March and Mr Nicholls’ “MMIX – Anthems of 2009” – released this month. Steve’s “Addicted Vol 1 includes two of our top 10 choices, not to mention that tune “Addicted” and Brent’s “Anthems” mix has no less than 6 of our top ten tracks, so the choice was clear, they had to be there. But which one came out on top? Well, to be honest we couldn’t separate them, as both got and still get unstoppable airplay every time we work & play, so it’s a dead heat! Catch Steve's "Addicted" mix at http://stevepitronsessions.podomatic.com & Brents "Anthems" compilation at http://djbrentnicholls.com/music

Right, well that’s it for our “Music is The Answer” posts for 2009 and we hope you enjoyed this special look back across the year. We cannot begin to describe how much music is a part of our lives and how very grateful we are to each & every D.J. out there who bring it to us. Furthermore, everybody mentioned in this review has a special place in our hearts & minds and we cannot thank them enough for their contributions to what has been a brilliant, fantastic, marvellous, superb & wonderful year of music. And to those that made our top choices, we salute you & long may you entertain us with you musical magic. (DISCO MATT)

Music Is The Answer - "Youth Springs Eternal"

Hey Folks,

Well, as 2009 draws to a close, what a year it has been for music, which has definitely been the answer to our problems and in a “special” round up post due out on Thursday, we look back on some great tracks, compilations & more that made a real impact across dancefloors & in living rooms, also voting for our favourites (will they be yours too?).

But in our last regular post, as promised, we focus on two gifted talents, who have similar tastes in music, although that’s where the comparison ends, although both had an immediate impact of the London scene when they launched their D.J’ing careers here.

First up is the cute & sexy Eduardo de La Torre, who will be best known to Londoners for his performances at Matinee in its days at super club Colosseum. A native of Venezuela with those smokingly sexy South American looks, Eduardo took to the D.J’ing game really early, moving to Miami at the age of 16 and drawing musical inspirations while finishing off his schooling, then moving to Spain experiencing & guesting at some of the best clubs in Barcelona, Seville, Madrid & Valencia. But it was the raw & tough euro sounds coming out of Germany & Holland that grabbed him and it was inevitable that he would again up sticks, moving himself & all his D.J. equipment to Berlin, where he got the opportunity to play regularly at Generation bar. With his name spreading like wild fire, gigs at Hamburg Pride, Gay Happening, & Pearls Of The Night followed, with appearances at clubs United Hamburg, Spundloch Club, Gay Convention & Krefeld to name just a few. However, London was calling & monthly visits soon made the city his permanent home, which thrusted him into the eyes of the capitals club promoters, securing the Matinee residency as well as Future, Revolver, & every Friday at Ku Bar, but with a long list of appearances across the scene. However, London’s loss was Germany’s gain, as he once again returned to his beloved Berlin where he now lives & works, with a regular spot at uber sexy club Ken and plenty more besides at Cologne & Hamburg, but also across northern Europe, where his funky, tribal, Latin inspired, vocal & electro style of music goes down a storm. And this is no better displayed than in his latest mix, “Addicted To Berlin”, classic Edu at its sheer best, which you can listen to & download at http://djdelatorre.podomatic.com, not forgetting that if you are around Berlin, drop into club Ken where he is resident every week & plays on NYE.

Now to our second talent, Tim Mcloone, a name relatively new to many, but in the short time he has been on the scene in London, has definitely made an impact, already racking up guest appearances at Crash, Future, Beyond & Brighton Pride to mention just a few. Music came early to him, as at a young age Tim took to playing instruments, becoming skilled in both the piano & the guitar, but with an ever increasing interest in the music others played, he seemed destined to become a D.J., although his earlier influences were in the indie & metal genre’s, listening to bands like Queens of The Stonehenge & Mars of Volta (heard of them?) and whilst house music was to lead him into his D.J. career, strands of both metal & indie still run through his sets. In 2004, Tim moved to London, where the house scene was well & truly rocking & soon became drawn into gAylist clubbing, where listening to tunes was followed by an ever increasing & developing collection of first vinyl’s and then, following the trend, CD’s, which allowed him to experiment in the D.J. game, first playing at friends parties and then appearing at bars like Barcode & South Central (now The Eagle), where he was noticed & soon signed up to play in some of the clubs he loved dancing in. Tim also loves mixing music and his latest, entitled “Release” is well worth a listen, being a collection of vocal & progressive tracks to get those hands in the air and feet more than just tapping. Catch it now at http://timmcloone.podomatic.com & catch him, regularly at funky, hunky club Megawoof & this NYD at the massive event “As One”.

Well, that’s our music choices up for this time and as 2009 draws to a close, the last of the year when we focus on two talents. However, as mentioned earlier, in a special post due out on 31st, we look back on some of the great compilations of the year, the tunes that made the biggest impact on gAylist dancefloors and the D.J.’s that not only made it big in 2009, but performed exceptional sets. We also cast our vote for the best single of the year, the best mix and the best D.J. set and with the choices available, it’s going to be a tough one for sure, but with so many great mixes, singles & D.J’s out there, you, like us will realise that “Music IS The Answer”.

In the meantime, don’t forget to visit http://seenqueen.com/music where you can get all the latest mixes released by your favourite D.J’s as well as Seenqueen’s very own “Top 10” chart.

So, as we get ready to wave goodbye to the “noughties” and embark on a new musical decade, sit back and enjoy our latest choices & as we love to say, let the music play!

Music Is The Answer - "The Steven's"

Hey Folks,

Well, after devoting our last couple of “Music Is The Answer” posts to special reports, we return to form for this one & it’s a “Steven” filled edition, as we cover one of Spain’s finest & then a home grown D.J., club promoter & film maker who is barely out of his teens, but has achieved so much already.

So, without further ado, let’s crack on and we first focus on super Spanish talent Steven Redant, who started his career in D.J.’ing at the famous “Privilege” club in Ibiza, where his talents were immediately recognised, following which he secured residencies across Europe, as well as guesting at many events across the globe. Based in Barcelona, he plays regularly at the city’s fab club “Discotheque”, but also jets across to Brussels for “La Demence”. His visit to London, back in November, where he played at Matinee’s “The Next Chapter” party was a huge success and other recent appearances at Barcelona’s newest club “Penelope” & at the latest “Scream” event in Paris have gone down exceptionally well. And as a measure of this man’s diversity, he flies out to Israel this weekend to play at “Forum”, on top of being ever busy recording his weekly Radio show “Get It On!”. All this on top of his regular podcasts, most of which are recorded from his live sets, not to mention his smash single “Discotheque” which has been given the superb remix treatment by Italian stallion Pagano & is racing up the “djdownload” chart. Steven’s superb combination of electronic & tech infused house is neatly displayed in his latest podcast “Scream Paris” which you can check out now at http://stevenredant.podomatic.com & why not check on the progress and grab his single while you’re at it which is out at http://djdownload.com/genreTop100.php?genreID=5.

Our other “Steven” on this post is the ultra talented Mr. Geller, who burst onto the London scene just over two years ago and immediately established himself as a fresh faced & popular D.J. his rise in the game being meteoric, securing residencies, first at Escape in Soho & then for both Barcode’s., which was quickly followed by a residency at the weekly outing “Popcorn” at Heaven. It was during at set at Barcode Vauxhall that he was noticed by the Orange group team & this led to a working relationship & residencies at Later, Open, Gravity & Rudeboys, with the occasional appearance at A.M. Elsewhere, Steven has played at Ministry of Sound, Egg, Scala, Ku-Klub, the Box & Profile, as well as devoting time to his filming, having recorded superb video’s for smash Spanish club SuperMartXe & more. Not content with just that, Steven has also entered the fray as a club promoter, his first project, “Futureproof” grabbing many headlines , but it was at his now beloved venue, Area, that his latest & most successful venture “Onyx”, has not only rejuvenated Friday clubbing, but continues to go from strength to strength, securing his reputation as a smooth operator. However, D.J’ing is still at the heart of his activity and his style of uplifting house with tribal undertones, all intermixed with accessible vocals packs out Area’s main room every week and his latest mix “Warming The Ice” is pure Steven Gellar magic. Catch this superb compilation along with some other gems, including a live recording from “Onyx” at http://djstevengeller.podomatic.com.

Now just a quick mention goes to Per Q.X. who has just released a remix of a brand new Deadmau5 vs Mellefresh single, entitled “Sexslave”, which we think is well worth a listen. Check it out at http://soundcloud.com/nastyhabits/deadmau5-vs-mellefresh-sex-slave-per-qx-mix.

Also, don't forget to visit http://seenqueen.com/music where you can get the widest choice of all your favourite D.J's works, as well as Brent Nicholls' full & exclusive interview with our featured D.J. Steven Geller.

Well, that’s our choices up for this time, but next week we devote our post to another D.J. that had a meteoric rise in the game & is now firmly based in Berlin, the cute & lovely Eduardo de La Torre, also looking at the work of Megawoof’s resident jock Tim Mclone. And, watch out for our end of year music round-up, when we look back on some brilliant D.J. mixes of 2009 & cast our vote for the best compilation & single of the year.

In the meantime, as we now love to say, let the music play, have a great Christmas & catch our next post on Boxing Day.

Music Is The Answer Special Post- "Nicholls vs. Pitron"

Hey Folks,

Well, the quality & amount of music being produced by some of the scene’s biggest D.J’s continues to thrill us, not least the work form two legendary names that have been an integral part of our clubbing history in gAylist/land London. So in a special post, not only highlighting their superb latest mixes, we also look back across their glittering D.J. careers, to give those of you unaccustomed to their talents, a brief look into the incredible pedigrees that they both have, the paths they have crossed and the reputations they have built, making them two of the biggest names in the game. Always finding it difficult to choose between them when they are playing either at the same clubs or at the same time, we have aptly entitled our post “Nicholls vs. Pitron”.

Steve Pitron began his D.J’ing career in the early nineties in his home county of Essex, playing at a weekly club in Chelmsford called “Esoterica” which gave him a real flavour & passion for the vocation, having been interested since childhood & working in record shops, where he had the opportunity to practice on decks. When he landed a position working for Universal Records, London became a real draw, with his first gig in the capital being at the notorious “Anvil”, which was soon followed by a residency at the popular Soho boozer “Comptons”, sprouting regular appearances at other bars around town, including the infamous “Substation Soho”. But playing in clubs was his big dream and when he added gigs at “Heaven” and the afterhours club “PSP”, his name was becoming more & more familiar across the scene. However, his big break came at the iconic club “Crash”, where an initial showing in the small second room was transformed into a headlining spot on the main floor and probably the club he will always be best known for. When uber afterhours club “Beyond” opened in 2002, Steve was part of the D.J’ing furniture and whenever he played there, the main room was packed to the rafters. Steve has since remained a tore de force across gAylist/land London, being in demand for all the major events in the capital & beyond, which this year included both London’s & Brighton’s Pride events, “Soho Live” & abroad, including Ibiza, Sydney and...well every continent actually!!, he having played at various ski weeks & was famously on the T.V. (in drag! and out) during the summer gay week in Sardinia. He currently holds down superb residencies at “Juicy”, “SuperMartXe”, “Lo-Profile” & (of course) his beloved “Beyond” (now at Area), but also manages to mix his D.J’ing work with his daytime job to great effect both having music central to their themes. Add to that, his recording work in the studio, producing a glittering list of remixes of artists like Kelly Rowland, Grace Jones, The Sugarbabes, Kylie Minogue & Beyonce (he even rubs shoulders with these people when working at Universal – lucky him!) and it is clear this man has incredible talent and well deserves his status of probably the scene’s best ever D.J.

Brent Nicholls hit the London scene at a similar time to Steve, but carved his career & reputation in his home town of Sydney in his early days behind the decks, playing at some of the city’s best known venues, including “The Albury”, “The Exchange”, “DCM”, “Midnight” “Shift”, “Sugar Reef” and “Black Market”, although his real success was always at the Mardi Gras parties & associated events, being a firm favourite, attracting huge crowds of up to 20,000. Internationally Brent has appeared at events in New Zealand, Canada, Ibiza, Holland, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Asia & South Africa, but has truly cemented his career in London, having been a resident from the late nineties. Having arrived in the U.K., he quickly established a residency on “Heaven’s” main floor, with further guest appearances at clubs like “Factor 25”, “Salvation”, “Factory” & “Cocco-Latte”, but was best known at the time for being the founding D.J. & resident of the very popular “PSP”. With underground club “Crash” making a real impact on the scene, it was inevitable that he would be part of the regular line-up, which also led to a residency at “Beyond”, where Brent really made the VIP room space his own, also playing b2b for the first time with Paul Heron, which would prove a magical musical relationship to come. Since then the list of clubs/bars he has played in London is virtually unparalleled & includes “Action”, “Ultra”, “Evolve”, “Universe” “Barcode”, “Essential”, “Juicy”, “Glamorous” “Hustlaball” “Rupert Street”, “Revolver”, Go-Go Brazil”, “Rome”, “Trade” and many more. His current residencies include “Matinee London” “Lo-Profile” “Industri” “Hard On!” and “Sex”, all which he squeezes in with guest appearances across London, Manchester, Brighton & across Europe, as well as keeping very busy as the webmaster for best clubbing website around, “seenqueen.com” and his with his general web designing work.

So, looking at both of their careers you can draw similarities with the clubs they have played at, “PSP”, “Crash”, “Heaven” & “Beyond”. In some ways their music styles are similar too, both shaping their genre’s to fit the club event, whether it be uplifting, funky & chunky, through to deep, progressive, underground & sexy, their ability to play such a varied choice truly make them in the demand that they are. Both are also busy recording and both have fresh new mixes out.

We have already mentioned that Steve Pitron’s favourite club to play is Beyond and this is reflected in his recent work as his latest compilations are tributes to this amazing “afterhours” club. The first mix is a selection from the tracks he played live at a set during October, where he cleverly mixes old & new to great effect, including a true Beyond classic, “In My Life”, which he used to include in his sets as far back as 2003! Then, having performed exceptionally (and believe us, we have been at some awesome sets of his) at Beyond’s Christmas special party “Ice”, he has released another collection of tracks from his set, some which got exclusive play & still can’t be heard anywhere else yet. These mixes are an absolute must addition to your collection and you can find them both at http://stevepitronsessions.podomatic.com/.

Brent Nicholls has been extremely busy recording this year, with over 15 separate compilations out (some with multiple volumes), chronicling the incredible diversity of his musical talents, from extracts from live sets at Sydney Mardi Gras & Lo-Profile, as well as mixes dedicated to clubs like Hustlaball & Industri, as well as one released especially for London Pride. But the last few weeks have seen frenetic activity, with no less than three new compilations out, first a hint towards summer to warm your winter, entitled “Vamos Jugar En El Sol”, then another club dedication, this time “Hard On!” which is separated into two volumes & finally, hot off the press is “MMIX – Anthems of 2009”, a collection of 30 of the biggest tunes he has played in various sets throughout the year. You can stream all of these mixes now by going to http://djbrentnicholls.com/music and if you are lucky enough, you could win all his 2009 mixes (and there are some real corker’s in there!) or at least, his “MMIX” one by entering the special competition out now at http://seenqueen.com/.

Well, that’s our latest “special” music post up and we couldn’t have chosen two more acclaimed D.J.’s to highlight, also knowing that you will enjoy their latest mixes, just as much as we do/have. In the cases of Steve Pitron & Brent Nicholls, we can say with conviction that definitely, "music is the answer".

Enjoy.
