* Request.

Some oldies at the start. Pub filled up by 10pm and stayed busy right through till nearly close.
Requests for Insomnia which I really don't like playing any more. It is now too cliched and I think it makes me sound lazy especially when I am playing out some up to date club music. It's like I have run out of tunes when I could play a two hour set of up to the minute house music.
Also Jay asked for the New Radicals 'Get what you give'. Not so bad you might say but , as a dj, I remember him asking for the same tune the last time he approached the booth in 2002. Even in 02 it was a good five years old.
So there have been no good tunes to replace that in your heart since then?  
There are times when you play and can forget small town parochialism and times when you can't.

As ever really heartening to see the butts sway to Toots and the Maytals. I enjoyed 2 Many Shots Of Jagermeister, Bambuddha Groove,and Missing Rotterdam.
Punters liked Guetta, Calvin Harris and Taio Cruz.

Not back now until the 21st November. Plenty time to dig out some new club toons and how good does
Mauro Picotto's 'Love Message' sound?
