We strip it all down in hour 2 with an ambient mix from DJ Rich Ears. The Amsterdam based DJ and has had a string of similar mixes on various stations, including his 'Perfect' series in which the next instalment focuses on Amon Tobin. In this mix, a long spoken word intro breaks down into beautiful music from Ryuichi Sakamoto, Gonjasufi remixed by Mark Pritchard and drifts between Future Sound of London, Mileece and the collaboration from Aphex Twin and Brian Eno.

In the second hour Matt Black from Coldcut steps up for his own selection from the Ninja XX boxset. Starting with the excellent Rustie remix of Ariel by Stateless and onto music from PRDCTV and The Long Lost, both getting remixes courtesy of Dan Le Sac and Flying Lotus. Kid Koala provides his take on the Blues and it turns brutal when Eskmo meets Amon Tobin for their Eskamon project until Yppah resets the tone.
Igor Boxx finishes the show with a mix of 1970's-1980's jazz-rock-funk from former Czechoslovakia. The Skalpel member releases his album 'Breslau' on 29th November and this mix illustrates  the origin of his sound from former Eastern Block records.

Hexstatic's mix from May celebrating their 'Trailer Trax' album, got your vote and it also came with it's own Video mix. Taking it's lead from the cheese of drive-in cinema trailers, 'Grindhouse' style movies and those Saturday Morning Cinema shorts of all our youths,..we see and hear these elements sliced and diced with techno, dubstep, dancehall and drum and bass rhythms into a whipped up frenzy that's 'now available in the foyer!'..... 'The Mighty Gammera' destroy Tokyo in a flash, 'Galaxy Invaders' scare rednecks with ill fitting plastic suits. Mix in some other favorites from the likes of Mantronix, Dizzee Rascal and DJ Hazard and you have one Blockbuster of a mix!

Also from May, Strictly Kev's winner brewed up a mix with a distinct whiff of Brit nostalgia taking in vintage electronica, psychedelic folk, outer space beats and deep dubstep. Moon Wiring Club, Broadcast &amp; The Focus Group and Lost Idol all featured, plus tracks from Blockhead, James Pants and Gil Scott Heron.
