a few things

1. thanks to Tom, Billy, and the one they call Graspy for all the brilliant contributions, but lately they have been too busy to post much so i'm going to go solo for the foreseeable future. of course they are welcome back any time; and if anyone else is interested in getting on board, just let me know.

2. new myspace for music: look, listen, add, and show me some love!

3. found this wicked psychedelic almost feels like Kraut-rock African house track by DJ CLOCK called "Durban Guitar", on DJ CNDO's first compilation. someone said "Brinkmann-esque"... but sooner or later people will realize that Brinkmann is actually "African-esque".

UK Garage / 2-step trade

not sure how many around here are into this stuff, but i've just uploaded 1.6 Gigs of the cream of my UKG/2step collection. i went through and deleted the low bit-rate files and the too cheesy bubble-gum tunes and the weak ones. what remains are the sick bass work-outs, dark anthems, tricky little jams and poppy vocal tunes with the fidgety funk.

links are fresh and ready to go: 16 100MB archives -- if anyone has nice collections and wants to trade leave a comment with what you have. In addition to UKG/2-step, I'm also looking for old skool Grime from around 2003, African Deep House, African Techno, African Hiphop, Kwaito, Funk Carioca, Rai, etc. amazing hard to find dance music. also, your part does not need to match mine in terms of quantity -- only quality.

here is what i have:

thanks to those who have sent me emails, but surely there are more out there who want to trade?
