4 - Gardem Paris, S/S 07, London
Reflecting Gardem's plight in working and having been evacuated from his Beirut home during heavy conflict, this is a dark threatening soundtrack spotted with tv news reports, sounds of war, chaos and fighting. Midway, a silent moment suggests a moment of clarity and peace before the imminent onslaught of further bombardment
5 - Gardem Paris, A/W 06/7, London
Menacing mix of dark tracks from scorn, locust, amon tobin laced with opera and haunting orchestral manoeuvers
6 - Duro Olowu, A/W 07/8, London
Laid back Afro funk and classics from Tony Allen, Fela Kuti, Letta Mbulu with a distinct modern urban feel. Atmospheric sounds of African city streets, restaurants and markets add a roughness and a human touch
7 - Gavin Douglas, A/W 07/8, London
Heavy on a dub tip, Grace Jones along with Sly & Robbie, Augustus Pablo, King Tubby, Tony Allen exude a confident sound for a feisty 'she's all that and knows it' lady from Jamaica, such was the character brief
8 - Robert Cary-Williams, S/S 07, London, Singapore, Tokyo
Purposefully heavy and awkwardly bending the rules of composition and mixing, robert wanted a sense of club drug fuelled confusion,'like 3am, really full on, getting too much and eventually blowing up the system'. Top sounds from Jeff Mills and Traumschallplatten artists
9 - Graeme Black, A/W 08, London
Rooted in Scotland and inspired by Maggie Smith in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, a rich soundtrack of orchestras, contemporary movements and folk songs avoiding the obvious Celtic references of bagpipes and fiddles.

11 - The Clothes Show Live London 09
'A Day in the Life of an English Pier' represented through eight nostalgic scenes from dawn to dusk via ice creams and deck chairs, a beauty contest, gangs, the carousel funfair and flamboyant dance hall. Mindful of the majorly teen-to-twentysomething female audience, the mix features a wide range of musical styles including The Creatures, Craig Armstrong, The Specials, Reggie Dixon, Madonna covers, Depeche Mode remixes, NYPC, Harmonic 33, Vanity 6, Dizzee Rascal, Dizzy Gillespie, The Ting Tings, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The London Symphony Orchestra. Laced with sound effects and atmos throughout, we also hear Keane's take on U2, a little known Eliot Sivad, the ubiquitous Lady Gaga, La Roux, Calvin Harris, some meaty Hervé and a few other surprises!
