noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 09:47:00 +0000

Warson, star of the mighty Tru:Funk label, has been smashing it recently with his boogie-banging frisky disco-flavoured breakbeat productions.

His tracks, including 'Go Girl', 'Shake That' and 'Body Rock', have made the 'Party Breaks' series a go-to source for dancefloor-smashing party weapons.

And now the man is releasing an album! Featuring 17, yes seven-frickin-teen!!!, tracks including plenty of material we've not heard before, 'DJ Is Not A Jukebox' is going to be one of THE big releases of 2012.

But don't just take our word for it. Check out the preview mix, featuring all the tracks, below. And then head over to Junodownload to buy your copy (it's out tomorrow, Thursday 12th Jan).
