THE trouble with music guides for the coming year is that many of the songs you've never heard of.

Now I know that the whole point is to introduce you to the songs that they think will be big this year, but it is so much harder to get into an album without familiar hooks.

Clubber's Guide 08 from Ministry of Sound features some dance hits that you might already have heard before alongside songs that DJs predict are going to be big hits this coming year.

As always the mixing is top notch and the compilation includes some surprising mixes including Dizzee Rascal's Flex, remixed by Dave Spoon.

But after some listening the tracks become memorable and the extra effort is worth it.

This album is ideal for anyone who will be heading off to the White Isle of Ibiza for two weeks of hedonism in San Antonio who want to get their moves sorted for two weeks of danncing.

It may be hard to get into but persevere and you will be rewarded.
