Music Weekly: Alex Da Kid and Holly Miranda

This week's Music Weekly begins with the man behind two of the biggest No 1 singles this year; producer Alex Da Kid. The former Thames Valley University student is currently studio-bound in Los Angeles, but he found time to discuss his role in Eminem's Love the Way You Lie and B.O.B's Aeroplanes with our new intrepid reporter, Ben Beaumont-Thomas.

In Singles Club, Rosie Swash (still in charge while Alexis suns himself in, er, Northumbria) is joined by Ben and Tim Jonze to discuss Michael Jackson sampling in How to Dress Well's Ecstasy With Jojo, Tricky's dancehall-sampling Murder Weapon, and Egyptian Hip-Hop's non-sampling Moon Crooner.

And finally, Rebecca Nicholson chats to Brooklynite Holly Miranda about working with Dave Sitek and how her pentecostal upbringing helped shape her sound. Hope you enjoy this week's show, next week is a Notting Hill Carnival special. In the meantime, come and say hi on Twitter and Facebook.
