NEWS

Amazing week last week man…La Melodia ( Amsterdam) cold rocked the spot at Santos 2 Fridays ago, fresh outta customs after a 7 hour flight! Bananas… Li’l Ricky’s at APT the following Wednesday was bangin’! Then Bobbito and I met at Newark Airport to catch a 7am flight to Portland to rock at The Fix. Happy Feet Tour of the west coast was incredible…. Special shouts to Lady Connie, Omega Whatts, Rev Shines, and DJ Kez in Portland. San Francisco came out in full force to 330 Ritch the following night, thanks to the efforts of Hakobo, Marky, Refresco and Massive Selector. LA was also in rare form Saturday at Jimmy’s Lounge, and we gotta thank FroLab and Footlong Development for really wrecking the promotions for us out there. Much love and respect to our entire west coast family! We ended the trip with Sunday night’s introductory Happy Feet Party at Le Pouisson Rouge in NYC, and it was truly beautiful. Thank you Mark Hines, for introducing us to the LPR, and here’s to the birth of a great relationship! We sold MAD CD copies of The Connection LP both on the west coast, and in NYC this past Sunday night, so thanks to everyone who made a purchase! Keep on doin’ what you’re doin’. Real music lives on! 

Peace fam,
Back in communication after some time away from Computerland... European tour, moving far too many records to mention, throat infections, and too many chance meetings with people who smell bad and happen to be sitting next to me...on 8 hour flights...i digress...

Tonight, we are back in action as usual at Li’l Ricky’s Rib Shack at APT. 419 West 13th Street. 11pm til 4am. Yeah, we still there, and the part is still rock shockin’ on, 8 years later. Hope to see you out tonight!
