Spring Selection!

Just Jack gives us Glory Days - this wonderful spring time spin makes you wish very day was one of those "Glory Days", the suns shining, you feel good and everything goes just as you planned.

Just Jack has managed to blend a little of his many genre influences in this bitter sweet musical. ranging from electro, blues, soul and elements from the London grime scene/east-end knees-up, in a happy sing along. (great horn section)

Glory Days is so far reaching that wouldn't be out of place coming from a small office radio to pumping-out the back of a supped-up Vauxhall Corsa on some council estate in North London.

Cool summer spin... with competition!

Create the best remix of "Glory Days" and you could meet Just Jack and win two tickets to the Wireless Festival in June (London)… and be handed a gold record, if you live in the UK that is!

The 5 runners up will receive copies of the new album "Overtones" wherever they live.

All saved remixes will be entered into the competition on YourSpins where you can listen, vote and where Just Jack will pick the winners.

Competition ends at 11:59 on Thursday 17 May 2007

Natasha wants to have your babies?

This was a shock-surprise for me when I got the news and I'd imagine for most men it would be the same... Not to worry chaps, "I Wanna Have Your Babies" is the title for Natasha Bedingfields latest release - apparently It's about some dude in Las Vagas and not me (she hasn't even mentioned marriage), very odd...

However, this track is another cracker for you spring spinners - "Musically it is distinctly ..Natasha Bedingfield... the voice to melt radios, the beats that drop either side of the Atlantic, the arrangements that are undeniably quirky, but still, somehow, work".

All this wouldn't be complete without a competition!

The Best remixer of Natasha Bedingfield's "I Wanna Have Your Babies" wins x2 tickets to see Natasha perform in the UK (UK members only) - the tickets will go to the best remix selected by NB herself and x5 copies of the eponymous studio albums Natasha Bedingfield to the runners-up. (open to all)

All saved remixes will be entered into the competition on YourSpins where you can listen, vote and where Natasha will pick the winners.

(Competition will run until 30.04.07 last mixes must be submitted by 0:00hr GMT)


Now it's over to you

Where's Your Spirit Man?

This isn't some lame call to raise morale among members. No, "Where's Your Spirit Man" is actually the name of the awesome track given to us by N.Ireland band Kharma 45

Kharma 45 the band that compose a sound that is best described as a fusion - electronica, dance and rock. The sum total of their efforts and mix of genres is quite extraordinary.

May I introduce you to Kharma 45, with "Where's Your Spirit Man"

Guaranteed to lift your spirit...
