Mario Balotelli’s main Man Tim Westwood
In a spin ... DJ Tim Westwood with Manchester City ace Mario Balotelli

MARIO Balotelli won't need fireworks at his next house party – not when he can "drop the bomb".

The Man City striker is learning to become a DJ after befriending The Big Dawg – Tim Westwood.

The Radio 1 star will be teaching him to play club bangers and party jamz after the pair met at an event in Manchester on Thursday.

A source said: "Mario was talking to Tim for ages. He loves his music and was asking about equipment. They are going to meet for a session.

"Mario is buying the best decks and sound system. His neighbours won't know what's hit them."

The Italian footie ace turned up to the pre-launch party for the new PlayStation Vita with a few pals.

There was a heavy Premier League presence but Mario was the only City player. He was outnumbered by United stars Darren Fletcher, Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck but there was no rivalry.

Balotelli and Fletcher were spotted chatting after the Italian checked out the female talent. Sadly the striker didn't get chatting to another guest – Bez from the Happy Mondays.
