‘It felt like you couldn’t move ten metres for a four-to-the-floor beat during 2013. Quite literally, too, during the summer months.’ – Read The Quietus’s review of the dancefloor in 2013 via the link below below. Pic: The Quietus / Anna Spysz

It’s the last Friday Roundup before Christmas, but to be completely honest we’ll be working right through this year, as there’s so much going on here at Digital DJ Tips Towers right now, the biggest thing being the continued filming of the Digital DJ Masterclass course… it’s getting really exciting!

Meanwhile, please do what we say and not what we do, and have a long, fun and well-deserved break this holiday season. Here’s a bumper load of reading for you to keep you amused when Christmas telly gets, y’know, a bit much. All the best!
