What it do mates? Apologies for the image loading issues, and
greetings, from London England today. Played at Inspiration Information with Patrick Forge and Phil Asher Saturday night October 25th, after playing Open in the basement at Santos in NYC.
Jumped off the plane at Heathrow at 830pm, blew through customs lovely, jumped on some stir fry right quick, and then rolled over to East Village for the party. Incredible night. Phil and Pat, thanks for allowing me to be a part of Patrick’s Japanese send off ! All the best to you and yours in Japan Patrick!

OPEN NEWS
Friday night, Santos Party House held a CMJ event upstairs, and Open was held in the basement for one night. Big love to all our regulars who came downstairs and got busy with us. Tip was out of town promoting his new LP “The Reniassance” this past Friday, but don’t you fret, he returns this coming Friday. The record comes out on Election Day, November 4th. Speaking of November 4th, leave all your campaign gear at home ( campaigning is not allowed by law on election day, so don’t forfeit your vote by rocking any political garments people. Trust me), go vote for Obama, and then go cop that Q Tip LP!
Open returns to Santos Party House on November 4th and 7th! Santos Party House is having a private Halloween party on October 31st, so we got this Friday off. Happy Halloween, and we’ll see you all back at Santos on Tuesday Nov 4th for the Obama Presidency Celebration, and Q Tip’s LP Release Party!

APT NEWS
Our sincerest apologies for not making any announcements about the recent bar and closing issues at APT. I didn’t really feel it was my place to speak on it until things began to settle down and make more sense.
With that, APT reopened it’s doors this past Friday night. I’m in Europe, and haven’t heard any reviews yet, but I do know that…
1. There is a new security staff in place by order of the city.
2. There will indeed be a zero tolerance policy on foolishness ( read into it if you must) of any sort, for an undisclosed period of time, starting now.
3. We will indeed be back in business on Wednesday nights starting this week on October 29th, rocking on like we usually do.
4. Don’t get caught riding dirty in there, or it’s wrap not only for you, but anyone within a foot of you as well.

JUMP N FUNK
Philly’s Jump N Funk on October 10th was beautiful! One love to my 215 peoples who showed so much love!
NYC on October 16th was incredible too. There were some timing issues though. Siji’s show didn’t begin until 10 minutes after our show was supposed to start. The show was incredible no doubt though. Go cop that Siji LP “Adesiji” as soon as possible! But nonetheless, it took an hour away from our party and presentation. Once the ball got rolling, I played for 45 minutes, and then Zozo Afrobeat took the stage for an hour plus to some beautiful call and response from the crowd. In the end, the DJing didn’t really begin until after 1am due to the overall slowing of the night. My apologies to any and all who’ve written expressing their desire to hear more DJ selections that night. Rest assured the next event will be stage managed more effectively, and we’ll get back to basics like we usually do. Love Afro Life!
Washington DC’s installation wasn’t as much Jump N Funk in DC as much as it was me being a special guest at The Black President’s Day Celebration. Still in all, the space was beautiful, the people were open, and the sound was tight. One love to Kat ( LilSoSo) and Sammy ( The Warehouse) for having me, and here’s to the next episode.
