Berlin's DJ T. is worried about an endangered species, but his isn't your typical environmentalist's concern. Not unless you consider the deluge of summery, Ibiza-themed compilations a sign of global warming. The Berlin DJ and Get Physical co-founder is concerned that the traditional genre compilation is dying off, crowded out of the marketplace by an endless stream of comps devoted only to the season's biggest hits. His conservation effort pays off this month in the form of DJ T. Presents United Under The Ball – 30 Years Of Disco , a 43-track compilation on Get Physical that brings ...

While  Kowton  may not be quite so hot on Ciara's particular brand of hig-wiggling dance moves, he is probably better than her at doing the washing up. Ciara is well known for leaving the pots lying around after cooking a fry up, and apparently once she let mold grow in her cafetiere. No wait that was me.  (It's clean now). Anyways, there's all sorts of Kowton goodies suddenly online at the moment. First up,  check out this interview  over at Crack magazine, in which he discusses his experiences working with Lil Jon, the beef with Cassie and ...
