Another complaint from Mutya Buena incoming! As Mixmag publishes a gushing article about the Sugababes – but a vital detail about why “dance music has always been a part” of them is STILL missing… How much further CAN Tim Westwood fall? Amidst ongoing police probes into sex assault claims, British DJ is now reduced to appearing at Birmingham club – with free entry before 12.30am… What’s got you feeling so positive, then? Derrick May tells Facebook that “it’s good to be alive” – despite having almost no work lined up and no money (but at least Carl Craig’s standing by him!) There’s still milk in old cows, it seems!
