Asseteria! Live from Uranus
Chriss Vargas
Nervous Records
2010-03-15
If you wondered exactly what significance the name “Asseteria!” has for this mix, well you probably haven’t been to the New York Sunday club night featuring seven-foot tall trannies and fashion models hiding from the paparazzi listening to DJs including curator Chriss Vargas, Phat Mike, Joey Slips, Kriss Mass and Rob Phab. Columbian prodigy Vargas steps forth for this mix to lay down tunes oozing sleaze appeal, sounding like a cross between an afterparty, a strip club and dodgy porn flick. In a word: filth of the highest variety to an underground beat of minimalist house and techno.

A Curious Thing
Amy Macdonald
Mercury
2010-03-08
“Oh everybody said she was the next big thing. The shining light on a the Saturday night. Dreaming of the day when she could run away. She didn’t believe the hype, was right.” Amy Macdonald was just turning 20 when she found herself catapulted from obscurity to international star. Her 2007 debut This Is The Life was not just successful, it was a phenomenon. The self-taught musician from Bishopbriggs, Scotland had been inspired to try writing a song after seeing fellow Scots Travis in concert, little did she know that her musings would go on to sell in excess of 3 million copies and make her one of the most lucrative UK female singer/songwriters to date. A three year hiatus was well deserved for the girl who never dreamt of stardom.
