Februrary Heat

Peace Everyone
What's good? Hope this finds all of you well. Been a long time since I sent this mailer out, and with good reason. Kindred Spirits USA is alive and well now, and we got tons more good music and parties for you throughout 2006. In the moment, my debut album, "Connecting The Dots" is in stores and doing pretty well. The European and Japanese releases, as well as remix 12"s from PPP, DJ Kemit, Phil Asher, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Afrosreet, Brother Mark and more will follow this spring. Alma Horton's debut LP, Lady Alma...Get To Know Me, coming summer 2006 as well. At any rate, it's good to be back online with you all, and here's to more for everybody this year. Stay tuned for announcements on live shows, new parties, and other random opportunities to shake your ass.

I am writing you today from Los Angeles, preparing for our first LA Connecting The Dots Loft Party. One love to Mike Adasko and Peggy Jean-Louis, for helping me pull this event together. Love y'all! The party will be at Hangar 1018, 1018 S. Santa Fe Ave, on Saturday, February 18th. Special guests on the set, Blue Gemz, Garth Trinidad, and Alma Horton. Other guests TBA. Hopefully Sy Smith will creep up in the place after her live set? Hope so. The location is just north of The 10 Freeway, 1 block from Alameda. www.hangar1018.com. One love to Kindred Spirits USA, Urb Magazine, Okayplayer.com, Studio Distribution, Turntable Lab 04, Asya Shein, and all our family in LA.
