On Fast Trax this week, Pete started off with the video for ‘Black Gold’ from the Stereo MCs.

The Upfront tune for this week is ‘Dream On’ from Christian Falk featuring Robyn, due out November 17th.

There are three Bedroom Bedlam cuts from Fletch & Desyfer, Mesa, and this week’s No.1 track by Artego. Bedroom Bedlam features 3 unsigned tracks selected by Pete each week from submissions sent to his MySpace page. You can listen to the No. 1 Bedroom Bedlam track for free for one week’s time on the Fast Trax website, and also vote for next week’s top Bedroom Bedlam track. As reported recently on Beatportal, the new Bedroom Bedlam label is currently available exclusively on Beatport.

The Remix for this week is ‘Booka’s Easy Way Out Mix’ of ‘Booka Shade‘s ‘Sweet Lies’ to be released on October 29th.

This week’s Left of Center tune of the week is ‘Bathroom Gurgle’ from Late of the Pier, whose fanbase includes Erol Alkan.

For the Big Interview this week, Pete talks to German techno queen Monika Kruse, who talks about her recent release ‘Changes of Perception’ and forthcoming tour. She discusses her start as a DJ 18 years ago in Munich in a small bar where she played funk and soul, which branched out into electronic music with her own parties, and then eventually with local clubs requesting her as a resident. Eventually she started her own labels, Terminal M in 2000, and Electric Avenue in 2003, to fully express the diversity of her sound. She discusses the production of her new album and her collaboration with sound engineer and co-producer Gregor Tresher. Current projects include her world tour and the release of the remixes of her album due for release in 2009.

During the interview we heard ‘Don’t Come Close’ and ‘When I Woke Up’ from Monica’s new album.

Also, and exclusive to the mobile phone version of the show is the video for ‘Neighbours’ from Robbie Russell & Davide Loi.
