I posted a few months ago a mail looking for info on a song that is
actually a bit similar to this one.. I've got two versions of this
track, the "classical" one and a live version, but still looking for
the one I heard on the radio (I was pointed to "harlem river drive" by
Charlie Palmieri on the Nu Yorica comp., but it was not the right
one!). So here is again my description: the song is a slow one,
starting with a vamp on the same chords as in "El Raton" of Cheo
Feliciano's fame, and it has lyrics both in spanish and english about
the Ghetto and el Barrio... anyone has info on that?

A few news from France, from the top of my head:
-DJ Cam LP is out (and very nice)
-soon a third EP on Versatile Records
-Mo DJs under a groove vol. 3 in preparation
-in a week or two (finally) the daphreefunkateerz EP (1,2,3
tons of funk)
-for those who want a good taste of french sound: the "Future
sound of Paris" compilation, only a few tracks are new, but the whole
is quite good
-a house single on Yellow Productions, forgot the name but
it's actually a pseudonym for Chris the French Kiss (aka half of the
Mighty Bop), quite nice

See you

Daniel
