After a couple of rather massive special edition double header podcasts, this fortnight we’re back to the tried and tested format you know and love. Remember, if you missed either the Booka Shade and Trentemoller or Boys Noize and The Glimmers specials, be sure to grab your copies below, as they’re both still available. For session 47 we’ve got a huge podcast of super fresh music, with a bunch of tracks from artists touring over the coming weeks. The perfect way to get into the mood for summer we think! Stay tuned for our interview with Claude Von Stroke, as well as new tracks and remixes from Hybrid, Deadmau5, Gossip, New Young Pony Club, Richard Dinsdale, Mr Jigga and more.
