yeah, the show is in brisbane tonight, and tickets are $40 up here which
is still too expensive for a DJ show.. but luckily i managed to get hold
of a freebie ticket.. but anyway, the show tonight is at festival hall,
which i think is a bloody stupid venue to hold it in. it just goes to
show how out of touch the promoters are..

He is still around, making lots of break beat records mailnly for tuff
city records. It seems almost like everyweek that i go into central
station records up here and there is a new 45 king record. but i have to
say that i have been a little disapointed with some of his more recent
efforts. with the exception of 'lost break beats vol 1&2', most of his
recent stuff seems a little short of the mark, not even comming close to
his earlier classics.. IMOP
