Live at Subrosa with Manny’s Boogaloo Crew FELABRATION 2016 - Holy Forest w/ Amayo’s Fu Arkestra, Master Drummer JoJo Kuo, Maiji Garcia and Fela! Dancers
“Wild, restless and boundary pushing. Diaspora music for the digital age… seamless mash ups that open the ears for anyone looking to really have their ears opened. Wild, restless and boundary pushing, this smoking date comes at you from so many directions at once that before long you’ll be delightfully dizzy not knowing or caring which end is up. Check it out.” - The Midwest Record
Love from “Love Vinyl” in the UK - The first record we ever sent anyone (the only copy that was anywhere worldwide) incredibly landed on Gilles Peterson’s BBC show. Friends at Love Vinyl in London were playing the sample we’d sent them one afternoon in the shop when the legendary BBC DJ stopped in… it had it’s radio premiere on his Worldwide Winners show the following day. Listen to Gilles Peterson’s BBC Radio show here .
