Shout Outs, Last Remarks, and Gig Info:
I want to give a shout to my brothers from another mother: DJ Fred Spider, pioneer of broken beat, who owns the best record shop in Capetown, and DJ Zulu, who spins the best timeless grooves, now living in Shanghai. Also to Fania Records and the people of Peace and Rhythm, Mukatutsu Records, Athens of the North, Jazzman, Rocafort Records and all the other DJs, collectors and producers from around the globe who run small labels and reissue new sounds and old hard to find records, keeping the groove alive.
