Ok so we're live on air and still able to blog, that's how we roll. Call it a gift.

Just a heads up about some exciting electronica thats been pushed through the ATL letterbox in the past few weeks that have been making our feet twitch. As we put together tonight's running order a certain theme emerged so let's talk it out people. If you tuned into the show (if not then listen again, why don't you?) you will have maybe been captured by a song fromÌý. The Belfast/Berlin duoÌýfeatures vocals from Ros of , originally from Antrim but having graduated with honoursÌýfrom a London art school scene that included the like of she has an naturally international outlook. Moon Unit have just featured their remix of on a cover mount CD for an mixed by the awesome Belgian outfit (see a certain ATL presenter's gush below).

, aka Barry Lynn from Lurgan, has already been championed by the elite underground press and is signed to the consistently groundbreaking imprint. Now onto his , his sound is like nothingÌýthatÌýhas ever emerged from Northern Ireland.ÌýThere are elements of dub, techno, jazz and..whisper it quietly...Dubstep.

³¢´Ç³¦²¹±ôÌý±ô²¹²ú±ð±ô have long been championingÌýchoice new NI beats. Exhibit A is Jack Hamill. His moniker is the more dancefloor alter-ego from the maker of tracks which have been on rotation on ATL for over a year. is a collection of dancefloor grooves that are startlingly mature for a producer with so few miles on the clock. Also check new offerings from David Baxter under his Ìýguise as well as theÌýcollaboration.

Having heard many times, we had singer Julianne pegged squarelyÌýas a rock chick. One listen through to her new collaborative offering along with Dave from as and ATL are well and truly on an evangelical crusade.

Add in the usual suspects such as , the and the Japanese Popstars (to name just a few) and we are beginning to be less the stagnant pond of years gone by and more like a steady stream that just might become a torrent.
