The Remix for this week is Calvin Harris’ remix of ‘Can You See The Light’ from The Hours.

The Filthy Dukes‘ remix of ‘Let It Rock’ from Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil Wayne was also featured on this week’s show.

This week Pete talks to veteran player ATFC, who’s back in bed with Defected Records and is busy with plenty of projects, including remixes for Funkerman and Dubfire.  He talks about how he got started at the tender age of 13 when his mom and dad bought him his first pair of decks, and discusses the journey he’s taken to grow into the DJ he is now.  He’s recently moved to Spain and his latest productions reflect a more laidback style that stems from his relaxed lifestyle there. He’s also currently juggling producing in two styles—tougher and more electronic stuff for Toolroom Records, and funkier, housier styles for Defected. His forthcoming release, ‘Defected in the House: Goa’ focuses on the emerging house style coming out of India lately, in what was considered to be a traditionally trance-centered area.  He talks about how his rework of Dubfire’s ‘Roadkill’ has sparked the emergence of a new style of electronic and live elements for him, and wraps up his confessional with latest tours and projects that will culminate in Goa at the Sunburn Festival.

Also, and exclusive to the mobile phone version of the show is Johnny Arthur’s remix of ‘Community Vision’ from Alison Marks.
