Work It On Out [M011]

This month's mix is upbeat from the off. It's a mix of disco, minimal techno, house and electronica. We had the idea of doing the mix to stick on your headphones when in the gym or going for a run. But it works equally well listening to it sat on your couch eating jaffa cakes.



We don't have a guest mix this month. Instead we've dug out an old mix from the melange.fm vaults. It's a mix of 60's garage rock packed with classics.

In the Summertime [M010]

Seeing as the weather is scorchio, we thought we'd record you a mix to play in the sun. Fire up the BBQ, kick back with a few beers and enjoy it while it lasts!



Our guest mix this month is courtesy of the lads at Dirty Pizza. It's got a great flow to it and one of the funniest intros to a mix we've heard. Rob and Pedro do a weekly radio show on ICR FM 105.7fm & www.icrfm.co.uk. You can listen to the show live on Sundays 10pm until midnight or catch it later on the website. Also check out their Facebook page below.

Goodbye DOCTOR RUBY*s [M008]

This month's mix is a tribute to DOCTOR RUBY*s. For those unfamiliar with the night, it has been a regular fixture on the Edinburgh live music scene. The night is the creation of Gavin Duvet who kindly let us come along and record the last ever DOCTOR RUBY*s that took place on the 30th of March. Although, DOCTOR RUBY*s is no longer around Gav is still hosting more events including HONALULA. Click on the link below for the facebook page which will tell you all you need to know.

DOCTOR RUBY*s/HONALULA

Here are a few words from Gavin Duvet:

DOCTOR RUBY*s has been around since 2004 and is focused on the art of song-craft:

EXQUISITE SONG FROM EXQUISITE TALENT FROM EXQUISITE BEAUTY FOR EXQUISITE YOU.

we are our doctor; we and our helping hand:

MANIA: BLUES/BALLAD/WALTZ/SOUL & ROCK 'N' ROLL
