Series 3, Episode 7 out today!

...and as Brooklyn's finest once said, ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out...

It's a lean, mean episode of your favourite show this week.

Alex - the man rumoured to be the result of a unsightly clusterf*ck involving Paul Weller, Bruno, Michael Bolton, Ladyhawke, Brian Harvey, Superhans and a host of other, as yet unconfirmed B-Z listers - finds himself sciving off in Turkey, whilst our fire-crotched celebrity guru Luke Blackall swaps ADN for panic-stricken shade-seeking in deepest, darkest France.

But fear not - never ones to crumble in the face of adversity, Christian and Dan are on hand to deliver you the latest slice of ADN goodness. Bringing you the usual genre-hopping mix of hot new sounds and classic cuts, there's not a single second wasted this week.

Marvel at hot up and comers The XX, Bibio and Elvin! Revel in the vintage sounds of The National and Nirvana! Get you bassface on for Whitest Boy Alive and tuck yourself in with a bit of Slow Club... and that's just for starters!

Series 3, Episode 5 out today!

Episode 5 has been officially unleashed as of today and by jove it's a humdinger!

On this week's bumper show...

Exclusive Toddla T interview! 'A high-speed collision of various bass-heavy styles..this does look good on the dancefloor' (NME) 'The party record of 2009!' (The Telegraph)

Alex meets the man behind the record that's getting the critics all hot under the collar. Toddla gives us the low down new record 'Skanky Skanky', explains how he managed to get pretty much the whole world to guest on the album and tells us why he reckons Eminem needs to cheer the f**k up. Not to be missed!

The London Paper's Luke Blackall! The king of celebrity gossip is back with yet another instalment of news from the eye-poppingly bizarre celeb world. Fresh from Djing at Lindsay Lohan's most recent London bash, Luke tells us just why the whole thing descended into one big masterclass in the art of toy throwing. If that's not enough, tales of diva-style strops from Katy Perry and epic keep-it-in-your-trousers failure from Akon and Dizzee Rascal should keep you well entertained.

Music, music and, er, music! Whatever your tastes, we've got you covered this week. From UK Garage to folk, electro to indie, ambient to math-rock, pop to Americana, dancehall to good old fashioned rock n roll - it's all here people! We've got all the freshest sounds you've come to expect from A D N, as well as exclusive Wiley and Bloc Party remixes chucked in for good measure.

You won't find a more ear-pleasing selection of tunes anywhere else, so settle yourself down into your favourite chair, hit play and revel in the creamy musical goodness. That sounds a bit wrong. Until next time…keep it locked!

This is the result!!

Enjoy!!

Series 3, episode 3 out today!

.....aaaaand here it is at last! Early baths all round for the ADN team this week, as episode 3 arrives, well, 3 days late. A devilish combo of failing technology, real work (fail) and a debauched stag weekend (win) has taken its toll. We're confident that it's been worth the wait though...why not judge for yourselves by hitting that cheeky little play button:

On the show this week...

The ADN team confront their collective hangover, look it in the eye, administer a textbook spinning piledriver to its ass and heroically guide you through another 18 track ADN odyssey. As ever, fresh new tracks abound; try Filthy Dukes, Death Cab For Cutie, Hockey and Major Lazer for starters. Strumathons from Johnny Flynn and Grammatics, tasty beats from Mos Def and The Pharcyde and an infuriatingly catchy offering from (small eared) Esser are but a few of the other treats on offer. Elsewhere, Dan guides you through this week's album of the week from Ben Harper & Relentless7, whilst Alex bashes out yet another gig guide with unparalleled panache.

Are UB40 actually evil? Is there anyone who Mischa Barton isn't shagging? And what is in that f*cking tea cup that Lady Gaga knocks about with? The man with (most of) the answers is, of course, The London Paper's Luke Blackall. Don't even consider missing out on this one. Big!

To the usual ADN listening massive; thanks as ever. To the newbies; hello to you. And to those who still haven't listened....do yourself a favour! Until next time pop pickers...
