First up, naturally, is volume one, featuring new tracks from Donae’o and other sizzling hot artists from London and beyond.
Proper standard, mate!

You know how it is with deadlines – they’re here to be broken. Joking aside, the quality of mixes, productions and general artist packaging in the NGDJ finals has truly been astounding, making the jury’s work much harder than expected.
This means the NGDJ jury is still very much caught up in all the magnificent mixing from you lot. As a result, the winner announcement date will be pushed back until Wednesday March 3rd. Expect this to be the date when we deliver the full NGDJ top 100 list.
We are sorry to keep you waiting like this. But in the end we hope you understand that this is done only to benefit the competition. Thanks for your patience.
Dude duo Legobeat, part of the DBTY DJ and blog crew, made us dance around the office today. Their killer mix Jingles, Claves, Klezmer, featuring lush, melodic techno from Renaissance Man and a couple of Legobeat’s own remixes, is drenched in – yes – claves and generally sweet vibes.
Don’t blame the youth!
