Here's a recording that we've been meaning to release for a while. This is Paul Griff's set from the wonderful Amanda's Day celebration, broadcast on Pressure Radio.

We recently stumbled across this recording of Phil Asher's set from our 5th Birthday, way back in 2009. Back then we were called Uber and this event in December of '09 was the first time we had Phil with us to headline. And it certainly wasn't the last. It was also the very first Vocal Booth Weekender Reunion. It seems fitting we share this for our milestone episode 50 of the podcast. A tribute to Phil Asher. We miss Phil and think about him often, and we felt we just had to share this recording with you to make sure it's out there for all to hear. Phil was a true kindhearted, loving, down-to-earth gent, as well as being a pioneering producer and legendary DJ. He influenced us in a big way, like he did for countless others, and we looked up to him as the legend he will always be. You can share memories, stories and your love for Phil on the Facebook tribute here. You can continue to support Phil's family on the official legacy website www.philasher.com. Passion not Fashion.

Our podcast series continues with a sublime mix from Jamie Love for episode 49.

Have a listen, give it a share and enjoy.

This is the final part of our session at Yard & Beyond back in June. The sun was blazing, the place was full, the Curry was too spicy for us wimps, and one of the DJs was taking liberties with the Masters at Work back catalogue. Those tracks dont really get old though do they. Our next takeover at Yard & Beyond is on 31st July. Midday until 5pm. We hope you can join us. Get your ears round this episode, give is a share and play it loud.

Here's part 2 of the session we recorded at Yard and Beyond in Stourbridge recently. Paul and Richie pick things up, pulling random old and new tracks out of the proverbial wallet while getting stuck into free Curry Goat and Dumplings. Anyone got a wet wipe? Enjoy the session and let us know what you think.

When a new mix comes along of this quality you've just got to share it. Richie Barthez has put together a stunning selection perfect for sunday morning shwingin.

After more than a year on DJ furlough we're back to knock the dust off and see if we can still mix a cake. This recording is from our recent takeover at Yard & Beyond in Stourbridge.
