Lots of “WTF??” moments including Jeremih being nominated for Best R&B before he’s even released a record in the UK; Dublin’s Laura Izibor being nominated in the Best UK newcomer category; Dizzee’s “Bonkers” not being nominated in the Best Song category and Drake being nominated in 2 categories (look, while Drake is definitely the future of HipHop, the nomination feels a little premature as it comes before any official release…)

Then there were a good few surprising but for the right reason moments including Donae’o getting a nomination for Best UK Act; my boy Bashy getting 2 nominations (Best UK Act & Best Album for “Catch Me If You Can”) and JLS getting a nomination for best song for “Beat Again” (we all know it was my remix that got them the nomination!) and of course me being nominated in the Best DJ category. Yes, you read it correctly:

I’ve been nominated for a MOBO in the Best DJ Category!!!

It’s my first MOBO nomination and as I’m sure you can imagine, I’m overly chuffed! I remember watching the first MOBOs on TV wishing I was there & dreaming of winning an award. Now, I’m nominated and it’s a possibility I could win.

I’m up against some very stiff competition including a couple of legendary DJs who have inspired me in the past and more than a couple of colleagues (full list below) but if you feel like you like what I do on the radio, in the club and on the blogs please register here or click on the picture and vote for the youngest DJ nominated in 2009!

And remember, a vote for me is a vote for the underground! Find out who wins what on 30th September 2009.

What are your thoughts? Still not too sure or are you as sold as I am?

As festival season is rapidly approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to tackle some alternative classics interspersed with a few records I think will be hooj for this festival season (including Dizzee’s Bonkers). Part dance, part drum & bass, part rock, part dubstep with a little HipHop and reggae thrown in for good meaure – don’t expect exactly what you know me for on 1Xtra or Radio 1 with this mix – I’m a versatile DJ with an eclectic taste in music so you’d better wreckanize!!

No computer trickery, this was mixed live and digitized and uploaded for your downloading pleasure. The deal is, you use this mix on your iPod/iPhone/other mp3 player or if you’re old skool, your CD walkman in the gym (I swear I saw someone rocking super old school tape in the gym the other day) and let me know what you think via commenting on this blog post.

Download it here FOR FREE, support the artists on the mix and check the tracklistings after the jump.

Oh and by the way, for those who are interested – my gym regime is going really very well however I didn’t realise how much money I’d have to spend on new clothes as my old ones don’t fit me any more!
