BACK IN THE BASEMENT

Parrot and I are pleased to announce something of a rebirth for Hold Tight Radio: Every second Sunday evening (from 8pm CET) we will be broadcasting on Sweat Lodge Radio- Berlin's newest and hottest internet radio portal. Sweat Lodge has been hosting the T Room Sessions for the last few months, a riotous Friday evening post-work house-up with a steady stream of quality big name DJs. Hold Tight will be coming from the same location but with our slightly different spin on things, pinballing through the genres, talking over enthusiastic nonsense, and sinking a shed load of booze in the process. The show will be live from 8pm on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month - just follow the Sweat Lodge link to tune in.

Best of 09 Show and NEWS NEWS NEWS!

As if there weren’t already enough end of year / decade round up and completely pointless charts floating about- its time for the HOLD TIGHT RADIO BEST OF 2009 END OF YEAR ROUND UP SHOW! Check it out this Sunday, 8pm CET at the usual place - Loud FM…. For the last time!

Whoa there! Calm down HOLD TIGHTERS, and take a seat. Parrot and I have been offered a couple of slots on a new Berlin radio station, going by the name of Sweat Lodge. It's a pretty slick operation with some serious DJs ands producers involved. So it's easy to see why we have been headhunted, right?

We'll be starting in January- details to follow. Safe to say however, that you can expect double servings each month with lashings of super special guest mixes from across the musical smorgasbord. We'll also be getting all 'pon da mic, for the first time, so be sure to check out our smoove talkin'. Ahem.

You will also have the additional feel good factor of knowing you are among an international community of fellow listeners. Rather than it just being Ma and Pa Parrot. Haven't decided what to do with the podcast yet- should we keep doing it? Anybody bothered?
