Justice Xmas Mix
I'm a big fan of Justice - the Parisian electronic duo. Apparently they were asked to do a mix for the Fabric team but when they sent it through it was too short and not quite to their tastes (judging from the actual mix, probably too ecclectic). Somebody has sourced it and it's available for download. It's absolutely superb.

NYUB on Facebook
Just to let you know, I've created a (simple) NYUB fan site on Facebook. The way they've set up these fan sites is not very conducive for podcasts but I'm sure the functionality will evolve.

Announcing NYUB Unsigned
Over the 3 years I've been doing this little podcast, I've received bundles of music from unsigned bands, a lot of it which never made an episode. Why is that? I work hard to try and balance the flow of each show and often it's hard to accommodate the unsigned material (as good as it often is!). Recently I've received a few emails from people asking where the unsigned music is and that started me thinking. Why not produce a separate stream of episodes, purely dedicated to unsigned music? So, having pondered it for 3 seconds, I'm proud to announce NYUB Unsigned, the first episode of which should be out later in the month. It'll come out on the same RSS feeds you all subscribe to and you can do with it what you wish. Regular NYUB episodes will still continue, but the content will focus more on signed bands and the labels I've cultivated a relationship with.
So if you're in an unsigned band or know an unsigned band, then click on the 'email me' button on the left!
Lucky 13th?
NYUB made it into the top 100 people's choice list at the BT music awards! Thirteenth, to be precise. Thank you if you voted. When's the next show out? Early November.
