We’re greeted by the ‘Chart Breakers’ mix which contains some of the biggest hits around right now. Kicking off is ‘More Than This’ from teen heartthrobs One Direction, before going into ‘Wide Awake’ by Katy Perry and ‘No Church In The Wild’ by Jay Z & Kanye West feat. Frank Ocean. The mix then winds down with two lovely London lads, Rizzle Kicks with ‘Dreamers’ and last but certainly not least is ‘Whistle’ from ‘man of the moment’ Flo Rida.



Switching things up a little, the ‘Drivetime Party’ mix is next with some belting anthems! This 6 track number includes ‘Go Your Own Way’ from Fleetwood Mac, ‘Rockin’ In The Free World’ by Neil Young and of course, the song that has been covered but never bettered, ‘I Drove All Night’ by Roy Orbison. Mastermix always seem to create their issues with every type of DJ in mind, and the next two mixes have a little something for everyone! ‘Urban Pop Anthems’ and ‘New Romantics’ contain some of the best toe-tapping tracks, including ‘Wild Ones’ by Flo Rida feat. Sia, ‘Where Have You Been’ by Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris, ‘’Poison Arrow’ from ABC and ‘Hungry Like The Wolf’ from Duran Duran. Phew! We’re all partied out!



A nice follow on from Issue 313’s ‘Essential Tom Jones pt.1: The Love Songs’ mix is Issue 314’s ‘Essential Tom Jones pt.2: The Pop Songs’ collection. Some of his most infamous hits are added together to create this fantastic mix, ‘What’s New Pussycat’, ‘Delilah’, It’s Not Unusual’ and of course, every granny’s favourite, ‘Sex Bomb’! This takes us up to the end of CD1 which finishes off with a brill ‘Triple Tracker’ from Usher, featuring his hits ‘OMG, ‘Without You’ and ‘Scream’.



CD2 has definitely got it going on! ‘Just Massive Number Ones: 2012’ makes sure the party is in full swing with ‘Turn Up the Music’ from Chris Brown, ‘Titanium’ from David Guetta feat. Sia, ‘Part Of Me’ by Katy Perry, ‘Domino’ by Jessie J and exclusive remixes of Cover Drive’s ‘Twilight’ and Rita Ora’s ‘R.I.P’.

‘The Boybands Are Back In Town’ now and what a blast from the past! ‘Teenage Kicks’ from Busted before ‘She Loves You’, ‘Mr Brightside’ and ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ from McFly! MxPx also get a look in with their version of ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)’. After all those fast movers it’s now nice to wind down a little with ‘Urban Summer Shakedown’, which contains some classic smooth tracks. Warming up we have ‘Scandalous’ from Mis-Teeq, before heading into ‘Shackles (praise You)’ by Mary Mary and ‘Return Of The Mack’ from Mark Morrison amongst many others!
