*Dick ‘Magik’ Johnson Mixes First Ever George FM Yearbook*

In celebration of all things dance, George FM are pleased to announce the release of the *George FM Yearbook 2010* album, mixed by local dance veteran *Dick ‘Magik’ Johnson*.

Taking the tracks you love off the airwaves and putting them into one DJ spinning, shape cutting, ass shaking collection, the *George FM Yearbook* looks over the year that was, to bring you the biggest and best tunes of 2010.

*Dick ‘Magik’ Johnson*, host of the Magik Sessions on George FM, says the album covers several music genres to give a good representation of what George is about.

“2010 was another huge year for dance music on George FM. It was a year where different genres like Dubstep, UK funky and Drum n Bass were mixed in with traditional house and took influences from Indigenous music from around the world. It was a great opportunity to be asked to mix the George yearbook.”

The Yearbook features big club tunes including 'Hold On' by dubstep giant *Rusko*, high rotate favourite 'Am Not A Robot' (Doorly Mix) by *Marina and the Diamonds*, *Yolanda Be Cool*'s crossover monster 'We No Speak Americano' and *Ou Est Le Swimming Pool*'s 'Dance The Way I Feel'.

*Miike Snow*also makes an appearance with *Fake Blood*'s version of 'Animal', while those suffering post-BDO blues can re-live their *LCD Soundsystem* experience with 'I Can Change'.

Local talent is ably represented by *Naked & Famous* attention grabber 'Young Blood' getting the remix treatment from *Dick ‘Magik’ Johnson*. Tui award winner *Bulletproof* gets two entries with 'Back In The Day', his collab with *PNC* and *David Dallas*, and his *TokyoStreetGang* project offers up the 'Spellbound' track.

*P Money*continues on in dance fashion with 'The Soul' and *Shapeshifter*'s huge summer festival hit ‘Twin Galaxies' closes out the mix.

*The George FM Year Book*is available now from all good CD stores, so don’t miss out on your chance to grab a copy of these time defining and defying hits.
