Meat Katie and James Zabiela DJ Face Off, free with the September edition of DJ Mag, is awesome. I wasn't a big fan of breaks until I listened to James spin some time last year at Zouk. And of course, it helps that he's such a talented and cute geek. I'm halfway through listening to the CD, and so far, tracks 4, 5 and 6 are brilliant.

If you like James's work, you can download a five hour mix, Four.2, from Proton Radio.

0. Loony Intro FX
1. Dexter 'Acid Lullaby' (Cocoon)
2. Rob Mooney & Jon Gurd 'She's a Trip' (Bass For Breakfast)

4. Elite Force 'MindPhunkPsychadelic' (Kingsize)
5. Coburn & Anne Savage 'We Have The Technology' (Great Stuf)
6. Metric 'Hell Yeah' (Lot 49)
7. Buick Project 'At The Rave' (Electric Press with Elements of James
Talk's Remix) (Saved Records)

10. Mosca 'Meat Market Lottery Boutique' (Acid Holagon)
11. Solvent 'Think Like Us' (Alter Ego) (Ghostly Recordings)

"I think the best club night is a mixture of all different types of people. If you've got a club full of trainspotters, then you've got a dance floor that doesn't move - they're just watching. If you've got a club full of people who just want to go out and get hammered, then people go away not remembering anything, and it may as well have been DJ XYZ playing. So I think the right mixture of people is what makes a good night. Everyone is important and DJ groupies are certainly important for my ego (laughs). It's nice to be appreciated, but you can look too much into anything like that. It's all quite superficial. If I was working at burger king, then they wouldn't look at me twice."
