Winter might be kicking in early but that doesn’t mean you can’t party while at home. Cream suggests going to Target and buying one of those $15 mini mirrorballs while also investing in a copy of Ministry Of Sound’s new compilation CD Dance Nation – The Hits Volume 2. Then get the party started.

Featured on the disc are tracks from artists as varied as Adele (the Thomas Gold edit of Set Fire To The Rain), Avicci (Levels), Calvin Harris (Feel So Close), LMFAO (Sorry For Party Rocking), Utah Saints (a revamped mix of What Can You Do For Me) and Drake featuring Rihanna (Take Care).

Something for everyone from the house that knows, well, how to turn your house into a party.

Courtesy of Ministry Of Sound, Cream has 10 copies of ‘Dance Nation – The Hits Volume 2’ to give away. Simply email your name, address and the Subject heading ‘Dance Nation’ to cream@pobox.com no later than 5pm, Friday 1 June. Remember, you can enter as many times as you like but only one entry per day, thanks.

What do Richard Branson, Natalie Imbruglia and the bad boys of ksubi have in common? They’ve all designed mobile phone covers in the name of raising funds for Oasis Youth Support Network, the Salvation Army’s major response to youth homelessness.

We think it is clever that Virgin Mobile, the brand behind this ‘Covers For A Cause’ initiative have thought outside the iPhone, so to speak, catering for a variety of  devices, namely the iPhone 4/4S, Samsung Galaxy S2 and Sony Ericsson Arc.

One hundred per cent of the proceeds from the sale of each cover will go directly to support the Oasis Youth Support Network’s Youth Connect Bus, which provides facilities to help youths re-connect with their family and access employment information.

So if you want to wrap your phone in some cool art and help a good cause while you’re at it, log onto www.facebook.com/VirginMobileAus for more information.
