It's New Years Eve (or already the first day of the new year,
depending on where you are), and you may be looking for something other than the radio to play for a countdown. Head backwards, then, to
cruise into the 80s with the Grateful Dead for the
closing of Winterland. Or join
the Janglers to
say goodby to 1993 and hello to 1994 at
Peabody's Downunder. You can check out
twelve hours of Essential Mixing and relive the transition from 2000 to 2001. Get closer to the present day with
some big band and swing into 2010 in style.
Say hello to 2011 with
B.A.G.S. (Bullman, Ashworth, Guggino, Sipe), spend
an hour and a half with
Blu Mar Ten or
six and a half hours with
Mr Scruff. And if you're looking for something new for tonight, try some mixes from
Redondo,
Montreal Funk Monkeys, and
a countdown minimix from DJ Raymix.

You might have noticed his work in the collection of Windows 7 sample media, alongside
a koala, penguins and a jellyfish,
a piano tune and
a version of Debussy's "Maid with the Flaxen Hair", or maybe his ditties got you tapping your toes
in a video game. Perhaps you met him at his
tea shop in Manchester (
Google Streetview), home to his
own line of organic teas. Maybe you know him for his marathon mixsets, running
four,
five,
six, or
almost seven hour long. You might know him as
Andy Carthy, but it's a bit more likely you've already heard something of
Mr. Scruff.
