The past week has been a sweaty pit-stain of a work-hole here at the Plugged Not Thugged headquarters, and we have been working like dogs to bring our readers some new flavor to rattle the taste buds and energize the mind. We have two very special bits of news that we are pumped to share with all you floor-stompers across the globe. The first announcement is that today will be the official launch of our Exclusive Plugcast Series here at PNT, where we will share hot and fresh exclusive mixes by artists from across the world, including our hometown Toronto. Keep your eyes open for the first PNT plugcast post on the site later today!
The second exciting announcement is that we are honored to have officially accepted an invitation to work with our friends Michael Godsmark and Daniel Gent (of upcoming Tech House duo Curious George & The Agent) on their bi-weekly “Curious George & The Agent” radio show on Manchester Global Radio. Michael and Dan have said that the show will focus mainly on Tech / House / Minimal music and have asked us to provide them with three “PNT Picks of the Week” which they will feature on the program every fortnight (2 weeks). I wanted to point out that this isn’t just another online radio-station, but rather a station put together by industry professionals aiming to promote the gnarly influence that is UK underground dance music. The station boasts a heavily stacked contributor lineup consisting of some of Europe’s finest DJs, producers and labels such as David Dunno (Hed Kandi), Kevin Andrews (Hoxton Whores), Jenny Harrison (Twisted Sista), David Ellis (Funky House), Jeff Jefferson (Moneypenny’s Music), Steve Sinclair (Funky House), Manchester Underground Music (MUM) along with many others.

I have put together a little mix n’ match loot-bag for our readers to commemorate this exciting occasion. This lootie consists of a tech house remix of Dance Area’s AA 24/7, a chewy ‘09 summer jam by Demarco, Mr. Lexx’s heater Dem A Pree – released in the spring – and a little flashy bit from Blackstrobe that Hatchmatik burned the dance floor with during his set with Mandelephant this weekend. Dust em off !!
