At tomorrow night's Sketchy, we present a DJ battle to the death. It's washed up, over the hill resident Rigsy v fresh faced, young turk Chris Mc Cormick!!

Meanwhile....a regular at the club called ryan is going to be snooping about with a camera or two making a video mini-doc about the club this thursday :-) if anyone would like to volunteer to contribute a little vox pop (it'll be footage of the club, a few talking heads, loads of decent music etc) please let me know - rigsy@sketchyclub.com and i'll put you in touch with andrew (and make sure you get guestlist plus one!!)

all you'd have to do is chat to him for literally a couple of minutes about your experiences at the club.

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER for more guestlist action!

last weeks playlist is online....

and guestlist for tomorrow (11th) is now open! usual 'rules' apply - please only ask for yourself and one request per URL (unless you explain there's more than one person uses the line). use the wee form on this page and everyone on the list will get an email reply by tomorrow lunchtime.

this week, sketchy regular andrew sterling has picked a few tunes he'd like to hear more at the club, so over to andrew....

Voodoo Chilli - Street players Classic bucketheads track sampled with a few extra beats to spice it up for the dancefloor!
Cold Blank - Doin it Right (The Squatters Remix) Another track with an old school
disco sample. squatters a big one to watch out for in 2010
DJ Rob 3 - The Chase Baltimore club bomb. nuf said. it'll wreck the place on a big system!
Redlight (aka clipz) - Feels So Good beatbeak influenced foray into house by clipz.
Standardly big
Boy 8 bit - City Under Siege Another heavily baltimore club inspired tune. Dancefloor destroyer!
The Klaxons - Its Not Over (Skream Remix) Gotta have a bit of dubstep! Old tune but nice appeal, would go well with usual Sketchy stuff.

get cape wear cape fly - D.A.N.C.E (justice cover) - very lighthearted acoustic cover of justice's massive hit!
Lady GaGa - Telephone (Crookers Remix) - crookers dont make this tune more electronic, instead they add more like a Hip-Hop production bass to some gaga!
Dragonette - fixin To Thrill (youtube link) - to me, dragonette can do no wrong and the first single of there new album is just.... awesome!!
the xx -shelter ( death to the throne remix) the xx are just exxtraordinary and the build up and drop in this track fits them so well!

and a cool wee video ruairi put together is here!

we're thinking it would be a nice idea to have some of our regulars take over this blog for a week, or at least part of it. anyone interested in unveiling a few tunes you're loving at the moment? maybe a mixture of stuff you already hear at the club and stuff you'd like to? you could add a few words about each track (or not if you can't be bothered!) and then we could link to youtube for each one, or whatever.
interested? email me at rigsy@sketchyclub.com with BLOG TAKEOVER in the subject line.
as a thanks, you'll get YOU PLUS THREE on the guestlist for a sketchy of your choice, with the option of a reserved table!!

this week, sketchy DJs donna & mark have put forward a few tunes for sir or madam's pleasure....careful now, THEY'RE RIPPLED!

Uffie - MCs can kiss
Tinie Tempah - Pass Out
Hurts - Wonderful Life
