London calling

So im finally here and alive !! Went to the home of all things deep and jazzy, Vinyl Junkies in SOHO. Heard some great stuff there, new material from Osunlade, Tread (Detroit deep housers), Jazztronik and Detroit Experiment. Also saw a flyer for a great party on the 29 May in a mansion between brighton and london. Check this line up derrick carter, terry farley, stuart patterson, gilles peterson, electrik souls people (unabombers etc). Let you peeps know how it is, pics and all !!

Also seeing alot of um.. the Glen Lewis track that got remix treatment from Dennis Ferrer.. ahem ahem...hope this his own. Apparently this has been reviewed in DJ mag with pretty positive reviews...

Apparently the Oskido and Fresh gig in Camden went down well with an almost exculsivley SA crowd. Hope to see more SA boys out here soon !!

From London with Love

Hey all

Out in London for a while so will be contributing to the blog from the north!! Been some really interesting stuff coming out on the blog and forum so will be talking about some of that this weekend...esp the issues around SA labels and the issue of SA producers ripping other guys stuff and penning their names to it. Dave (afrobeat partner) will be heading up content and party news from SA and I will be covering what is going on here in the UK and how it ties in with SA. So peeps, thanks for the great support so far.. we gonna keep bringin you the news and views on all things deep in a bigger way than before.

Peace
Ray
