No shit!!!!

I've discovered some amazing tracks on that show George is a great guy

[stringbeans]

the show sucks, and nice copy/paste btw

im not sure what they're talking about when they say exclusive live dj sets.. i listen to it every saturday night and i never hear any live dj sets.. instead, all the guy does is put in some cd you can buy from HMV and plays it for the last 2hrs of the show

somebody bring back gspot.. please!

Velocity plays lots of decent songs, and not just CD's from HMV either.

that would be off the fuckin hook if we had our own radio show!!

[Akeel]

velocity plays lots of exclusive tracks that dont show up for a while sometimes. most recent example would be the coldplay "clocks" remix....only 2 copies in the city on vinyl...and i dont have it :(

[matéo]

^^^^^

I think there are more then that....

any electronic music station in this city good or bad, people have to let themselves be heard. everyone should mail and support velocity regardless if they like the show or not. so what if the show is only on saturdays ( or is it???) between 10-2. u must voice your opinion so maybe one day we could have a full time electronic music station, like some other places in the world. i lisen every chance i can get and yes i have heard many quality sets, so i will definately let this mofugga know whats up!
