We hereby proclaim June as the month that Parklife well and truly dominated inthemix. The anticipation for the much-loved festival’s line-up announcement early in the month was almost palpable, and when it finally dropped ITMers were sent into a frenzy. Need proof? No less than five of the June’s most read stories related to the fast-approaching party in the park!

Of course it wasn’t just Parklife that piqued your interest, with the first details of Tiesto’s hotly tipped tour in early 2010 and also dates for Stereosonic proving to be hot topics. There was also the usual bevy of ‘strange but true’ items in the list, including the mainstream media outrage over Ministry of Sound’s saucy new Tommy Trash video clip, and a worrying dance-craze in Africa that has resulted in a spate of broken-penises. Ahem, what the?
