Tune into the first Electronic radio show with John Acquaviva.
www.protonradio.com
Thursday 5 Dec
8PM London time

Upcoming guests include Catz, Tommy Four Seven, Kid Dub and Liz Cirelli...



"Collaboration" sounds boring and worthy, but watching sparks fly is where the best new work happens in music. Which is why one of the world's biggest DJs, John Acquaviva, plans to use 2008 to give up touring alone and return to his early days as the man who drove Plus8 and launched Ritchie Hawtin, Speedy J and Dan Bell; the guy behind Beatport, Final Scratch, Definitive Records, any number of Beatport #1s ...As well as a killer DJ who has played to more than 1m people across his 22-year career.

Now Acquaviva will be turning one of the best eyes for talent in the business into picking the best new producers in Europe. His new touring night – and his Proton radio show - Electronic is about sparring matches between John and the new crew. From a launch at the Rex, Paris, to a huge night at Ministry of Sound UK and a final 2007 party in a London warehouse, Electronic in 2008 steps up another whole level of ambition. Cocoon resident and genius DJ Karotte to Mason, Olivier Giacomotto to Mike Monday, Woollion, the Catz, Tommy Four Seven, Big Daddy, DJ Remo of Italy, and Spain's Fresco records crew – they’ll all perform at Electronic shows over the next year.

Y'all - this show is actually only open to proton subscribers at 8PM GMT this thursday... But you should be able to listen to it from Friday onward on their "on demand" thing.

This thursday: an electronic special with John A + Olivier Giacomotto.
