Alright folks??

The NYE tickets were sent out today so should be in the shops by the weekend.

I'm well chuffed we've finally (after 10 yrs!) got BK. He aint gonna be doing a cheesy anthem set - its underground all the way - he's playing for us so he can dig out all the tunage he wants to play but never gets the chance to play at the big commercial hard dance events he usually booked for. Ive been playing his tunes from his very first release and I can tell u the boy's on form!!! His nu-age rave stuff is blinding - Hard, dirty and funky. When he lets rip BK is a truly awesome DJ.

We've also got Dave Randall for you techno-lovers and Schmidt doing their brilliant live breaks electro mash-up, and one of my fave tech-trance/electro jocks Nick The Kid, plus loads more - check out www.ripsnorter.co.uk/parties for the full lowdown. I'm lookin fwd to going B2B with our Dan in the Breaksnorter room - he's shit hot and always pulls off some wicked mixes.

We're gonna cover the outdoor area so you can go outside whatever the weather. And we'll have fire performers doing their thing on the terrace.

There are some fresh mixes going up on www.myspace.com/ripsnorteruk soon - but give it a week or so - although Dave Randall has one to listen to there at the mo.

RELOADED
On Sat 1st Dec Lady Base and Tony the Pom are putting together a kinda Ripper Reunion party at the Attic Bar on Stokes Croft - Liz will be playing, and BS2 and the one and only Colinizer - its for all of you who wanna hear all the old hard n bouncy stuff, nothing too serious - check out www.myspace.com/reloadedmusicalviagara. If you were there at the Rummer back in the day then get yer arse down there!!

TRANCEFUSION
And tonight I'm heading to Newport for a bangin night at the Cotton Club. Its run by Mogz and Ripper regular Russell Abyss and its a mix of underground trance, techno and electro. Theyve got Dark By Design, Abyss, Estee, Mogz and the Bionic Boys Brian M & McBunn and a load of others. Check out www.dontstayin.com/groups/trancefusion-south-wales for the blurb and full line up. I'll be boshing out some of that nu-age-rave.

Have a top weekend, wherever you end up going. Hopefully see some of you in Wales or at the Frogz on Saturday....

The next Ripsnorter night probably won't be until May now :(

What a fantastic night New Year was!!!

yeh but what was bk like???

BK was good - hard and stompy and good to hear something a bit different from the little bit i heard of. unfortunately i didn't get to hear that much as i was running around like a headless chicken!!!!!!

Cant't wait til the next Ripsnorter what a party!
