DJ Spoony Meets...an original 6-part documentary series for BBC Radio 5 Live
produced by Pete Gibbons of Somethin Else
Transmission Times: 9.30pm, Tuesdays 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th June, and 3rd, 10th July 2001

Somethin Else, the UKs leading independent radio production company, presents a six-part documentary series (30 mins each) for Radio 5 Live, DJ Spoony Meets. Spoony is already known to radio listeners as a crucial member of Radio 1s infamous DJ trio the Dreem Teem, but as a huge footie fan he'll be using his own inimitable up-close and personal style to interview some of the biggest names in British football. So, to find out what really makes the Premiership's glamour kids tick when they're off the pitch or on the bench, tune in for some major league revelations starting Tuesday 5th June at 9.30pm.

Guests getting comfy on the couch, plucky with the PlayStation, and meaningful on music with Spoony, will be Leeds Rio Ferdinand (5th June), Chelseas Jody Morris (12th June), Newcastles Kieron Dyer (19th June), Liverpools Jamie Redknapp (26th June), Chelseas Eidur Gudjohnsen (3rd July) and Liverpools Emile Heskey (10th July). These young stars are enjoying their celebrity status with flash houses, cars and girlfriends, not to mention their astronomical salaries, and Spoony tackles the players head-on into disclosing what they really get up to when the final whistle¹s blown. An entertaining and insightful look into the real lives of this nation¹s sporting heroes, Spoony browses through their wardrobes and flicks through their CD collections, often encountering interior décor that would fall foul of any offside rule!

A Liverpool fan himself, DJ Spoony has seen his broadcasting career rise like Robbie Fowlers pay-packet since the days of hosting his own show on pirate radio. With a seat on the bench presenting at Kiss 100 and then Galaxy FM, the Dreem Teem then joined Radio 1 combining their innovative DJing style with enthusiastic chat to entertain listeners and celebrities alike. Spoony's TV career has also expanded just as rapidly with his own series on Play UK (with his Teem mates), as well as regular programmes for other terrestrial and satellite channels. You can also catch Spoony over the summer from June 2nd presenting Soccer Am at Sky Sports.

So, as this years football season comes to an end, fill that nasty summer break with DJ Spoony Meets... - definitely one fixture thats not to be missed

The Radio 1 Dreem Teem Tour
The Dreem Teem take their show out on the road for the first time as the Radio 1 Dreem Teem Tour hits the UK throughout June as part of the station¹s summer of live music.

The garage trio - DJ Spoony, Mikee B and Timmi Magic kick off the tour at Milk Bar Club in Belfast and then hit top venues in Manchester, Bournemouth and Reading culminating on the Mediterranean clubbing island of Ayia Napa. The UK leg of their tour will see the Dreem Teem play exclusive Saturday night sets which will be broadcast on the following night in their specialist show Dreem Teem Presents (01.00am-04.00am). The morning after the boys will be up and ready to present their regular Sunday show from a local bar with live PA sets and special guests, making full use of their regular Hangover Cure feature.

The Dreem Teem made their station debut back in January 2000 and have wasted no time gaining a big following by playing a wide range of R¹n¹B, soul and hip-hop as well as UK garage for which they are best known - in fact, anythang with a groove - mixed in with their own brand of style and humour.

"We cant wait to get out of the studio and on the road. It will give us a chance to meet our listeners and give us a Sunday morning lie-in for a change as we wont have to leg it back to London from clubs around the UK." said Mikee B.

Backroom Records:
Backroom Records are now distributed worldwide, exclusively by Unique Distribution. The first release to be distributed by them will be Paul Reset "Self Sufficient", due for release on June 18th. "Self Sufficient" is Paul's first foray into breaks production, straying from his home ground of Drum & Bass. The release features the original - a twisted dark sounding, 2-steppesque breaker - and two remixes. The first remix is courtesy of Dubwise Selective aka Ian Sheppard and Gavin James. They've turned the track into a dance floor smasher with more than a nod to the ol' Hardcore sounds we all know and love! The last remix comes courtesy of Boombox Records' Stabilizer. This a peak time, mainroom monster is sure to appeal to all and sundry from the breaks to progressive jocks. It's huge! After that, we'll be releasing the second Backroom twelve from label boss Ian Davy. A two tracker, plus remixes, sees two sides of Ian's DJ'ing influences. "Battle", a funky basslined track with bouncy, almost UK garage like breaks and freestyle vocals will appeal to many floors whilst "Overdrive" will appeal to harder ones! A distorted guitar loop provides not only the rhythm of the track, but also the bad-assed bassline. Two "Battle" remixes complete the package from Swiss based Be&See (an absolute blinder of a mix) and G15, who turn in a laidback lounge version. Release date around mid-July. You'll be able to listen to all the new releases and remixes on the website, when we relaunch and revamp it in the next few weeks. These include those from new signings: B-Side and Contax aswell as a new one from Backroom stalwart Hoista! More on those soon...

I am a youth worker and run a youth cafe called Diversions in the London Borough of Sutton. We work with a range of young people from a wide area. The cafe has just started a big advertisement campaign to get more customers and we are fighting to keep it open. The Cafe is struggling to make any profit at all and we have no money to buy new records. We have our own decks but the young people who want to use them won't bring their own for fears that they will be stolen on the way. The music we have is what attracts the young people to the cafe. If they didn't come to the cafe they hang around causing trouble and so it is vital we offer an alternative. I am writing this email to ask if we could possibly be able to get some records sent to us for free for the young people to use and practice with. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Many Thanks Tim Wallder Diversionscafe1@aol.com

Hot New Track.
Bad 2 Da Bone Feat. Juice Man Party Sacred Records UK. Bad 2 Da Bone originally formed in 1998 with the two founder members, Billy April and Trevor Moses with new addition Steve Graham this year. This record is a funky orientated UK Garage track, with a clear, crisp melody running throughout, alongside careful drums and beats. The lovely melody is complimented further with additional vocals of Sharmaine Campbell, which adds a soulful feeling to it. The vocals of Juice Man then make it a catchy club groove to drop at peak time. There's 3 mixes on this vinyl to choose from, with the David Howard Club Mix the one to go for, but there's a more bubbling underground mix on the flip from Para & Dj Rascal. Out April 30th 2001. Review by Greg Zizique.

The Luck and Neat magic keeps on working. DJ Luck and MC Neat have proved they are not one-hit-wonders by delivering a succession of UK garage dancefloor gems. Piano Loco is their new release and one I originally wasn't keen on. But it grows. The keyboard stabs and Neat's infectious effortless delivery quickly win over the fiercest opponents. Check out Piano Loco by DJ Luck and MC Neat - UK garage meets latin 2-step style! (CW)

Todd Edwards on the mix of Benjamin Diamond "Little Scare". Benjamin Diamond the voice behind Stardust and a few other well recieved mirror ball gems, is back with an extremely pleasant effort. Now the track plays very well and will be popular on the crossover dance floors, but theres' more. Todd Edwards has delivered his best mix of the year (yes even better than Shut the Door) for those who require a different groove. A massive mix and another top of the DJ search list. You need this one, and need it now !!!! (CW)
