International DJ Stevie George can be found entertaining the masses at Muju Lounge on Amwaj Island and many other places around Bahrain.

LATEST releases to look out for:

Steve Miller Band - Let Your Hair Down is being released to coincide with the act's mini-US spring tour starting around this time. As promised last year when they released BINGO, the new album should be a big seller not just stateside but in Europe and the Gulf States too. Noted Pink Floyd album cover artist Storm Thorgerson returns to design"Let Your Hair Down with one of the great album covers of his career.

Chipmunk - Transition is the second studio album from UK rapper Chipmunk. This effort sees the Tottenham-raised MC join up with artists such as Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, Trey Songz and many others. Featuring the single Flying High, Chipmunk's charismatic crossover appeal from grime to pop will probably have you playing this album over and over.

k.d. lang - Sing It Loud is her first studio disc in three years. k.d. lang (all lowercase!) is revisiting her roots, and backed by a new full-time band Siss Boom Bang, recalls the exhilarating work she created at the start of her career. If you liked her original material then this album would be worth a listen.

A-Ha - Ending On A High Note - A fantastic CD and DVD set featuring the final concert at The Oslo Spektrum on December 4, 2010, which ended the band's sell-out tour and brings to an end an era of the hugely popular loveable act famous for catchy pop tunes and ground-breaking music videos. Those who don't remember the comic book style of Take On Me will surely visit You Tube and realise how ahead of their time A-Ha were.

Gorillaz - The Fall - Frontman Damon Albarn created the entirety of The Fall on his Apple iPad whilst in America with the band supporting the Plastic Beach album tour. The record features the obligatory guest appearances this time from former Clash bandmates Mick Jones and Paul Simonon, as well as soul legend Bobby Womack, and will no doubt increase site visits to Apple's iStore over the coming months.
