3. Voyager Golden Record, a set by Golden Record on Flickr.

   STATEMENT

   This Voyager spacecraft was constructed by the United States of America. We are a community of 240 million human beings among the more than 4 billion who inhabit the planet earth. We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization.

   We cast this message into the cosmos. It is likely to survive a billion years into our future, when our civilization is profoundly altered and the surface of the Earth may be vastly changed. Of the 200 million stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some—perhaps many—may have inhabited planets and spacefaring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message:

   This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. we are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.

   Jimmy Carter
   President of the United States of America

4. Following the worldwide success of the ‘Paul’s Boutique’ remix project 'Caught In The Middle of A 3 Way Mix’ (produced with fellow Solid Steel DJs; Moneyshot and DJ Food) DJ Cheeba returns with another documentary style mix charting the huge influence and mass appeal of arguably the greatest rock band of all time: Led Zeppelin.

   This mix has been made to coincide with the release of 'Celebration Day’ and digs chronologically through the band’s first six albums (1969-1975), picking out key tracks, their influences, subsequent covers and some of the notable examples of where they were sampled in hip hop, dance music and pop.

   From 'Good Times, Bad Times’ to 'Kashmir’ this is a DJ mix made for everyone from the die hard fans who were there in 69’ to the kids who only know the name from the iconic tee shirts. Turn it up loud… there’s no other way to hear it!
