The Hamswell Festival have put together a rather marvelous 5 track sampler ahead of the event on the 13th to 15th August 2010. The free sampler includes tracks by King Charles, Shades Of Rhythm Vs The Drumattic Twins, Avatars, Eat More Cake and Toxic Funk Berry

The winners of the 2009 Studio Radio Awards prize for 'Best Specialist Music Programme' - Radio Clubfoot - took over the 6 Mix for a special show. Hosted by Will Gilgrass and Ashley Sykes from Nottingham University, where it was broadcast on student radio station URN. On the show, David Borkmann's new release 'Superior' was showcased (listen to the show here), plus the guys got David in for an interview, which can be found on their website here. Not only that, but there's a free mix from David available at the bottom of the interview.

Ah, Hamswell, although small, it’s perfectly formed. Set in the natural amphitheater of the Hamswell farm (near Bath), it boasts 500 dedicated followers; some of the best up and coming music, locally sourced food (the farm next door provides most of it!), a small lake and an atmosphere that’s unparalleled. The most common thing we hear is “Oh, festivals aren’t as good as they used to be”. Well, Hamswell is on the up, so get down there this year and remember exactly why you love standing in a field with the sun on your face..There will be bucket-loads of live music, there will be spades full of local produce, there will be a healthy dollop of drunken sunshine and we will all get together to build a big sand castle of Hamswell happiness!

The lineup is more about discovering new talent at Hamswell. Having said that, the brilliant Mi7 Records and Urban Torque® Labels are both hosting the main stage over the course of the weekend.

Gemma Calls' is the first single taken from Steve Mill's debut album 'Higher State Impressions' released this autumn on Urban Torque. In addition to the original, Roberto Rodriguez and Roland Nights provide the re-works, with Steve throwing a dub version in to the equation.

"Two very different tracks on offer: 'The Way' itself is a soul-infused, late night affair, while B-side 'Accelerator' is more your Berlin / post-minimal style of deep house, albeit still with da fiunk a-plenty" Russell Deeks

David Borkmann received his debut radio play in the UK on BBC 6 Music, with Gary Crowley sitting in for Gideon Coe.

"tinges of the Beloved....like that one a lot, lovely slice of dreamy dance pop" Gary Crowley
