"It's Only A Mixtape! Vol.2" will be mixed by Paul Jackson and features in total 15 tracks of dancefloor nonsense! The boys are over the moon at thier tracks being so heavily featured on this album.
"Rodney Trotter" has already entered the DJ Magazine BREAKS chart to No.17 in Aprils 15th Anniversary issue strictly off the back of personal CD handouts to DJs, that the lads have passed on.
