word
big news (well it's not really big at all, dunno why i typed that) this week is - you can finally buy sketchy pre-sale tickets. which means you can guarantee you get in AND skip the queue.
you can either buy them on this blog (top of the page) or in the stiff kitten bar at any time during the week.
we'll still be giving away guestlist, but that will be done by 12pm every thursday. so ask for guestlist as normal if ya like. SO if you're on the list you'll get a reply before 12pm. if you don't get a reply you can then obviously buy a ticket, if you like.
make sense? possibly not 
ANYWAY
a new, irritatingly young DJ called WILL NEILL will be in the mainroom with myself (rigsy) tomorrow night. he's got splendid taste in music and has DJ'd at sketchy a few times before. he's also got impressive hair and was the first person in northern ireland to eat a wispa gold (true story).
in honour of his appearance tomorrow, he'ss picked out ten tunes he's looking forward to playing. OVER TO YOU THEN WILL.

please only ask for yourself, one request per IP address and priority given to anyone who posts stuff on this blog....
tomorrow night, radio k founder, belsonic booker, swimwear model and animal shelter head honcho joe 'piefinger' dougan joins me (rigsy) in the main room.
i asked him to tell me about ten tracks he's looking forward to playing and within literally a few hours, he got back to me with this little lot....
Robyn - Don't fucking tell me what to do (Mylo Remix)
This is the kind of Robyn stuff i was always more into, reminds me of Konichiwa Bitches title track, Mylos rework makes it a whole lot nastier.
Bloody Beetroots - Awesome
Bloody Beetroots + The Cool Kids, was always going to be awesome TBF
Gorillaz - Superfast Jellyfish
Best track on Plastic Beach, impossible not to dance to unless you've recently had knee surgery.
Sleigh Bells - Rill Rill
this is the best song i've heard in ages. it sounds like brilliant.

We're getting very excited about the Belsonic show, the Oxegen coverage sounded lovely, this is the best tune on their new LP for me
Junior Senior - Move Your Feet
Does anyone not like this song??
Japanese Popstars + Jon Spencer - Destroy
Sleazy, dancey, creepy, very exciting new single from Japstars featuring one of the best rock and roll songwriters of the last 20 years.
Marina + Diamonds - I'm not a robot (Doorly Remix)
i still listen to this all the time. marina annoys the hell out of me but it's a good song and made much better with doorlys dancehall-tastic remix
MIA - XX XO (JayZ Remix)
Lovely stuff from new MIA album, and her poppiest tune yet imo
3Oh3 + Kesha - My first kiss
I don't care what anyone says about this song, it's the best chart tune i've heard this year, insanely catchy,
if you don't like it you are dead.
ta joe....
