In case you're in the LA area...
The scene is finally improving in LA with some happening events. Ritual had a
slamming marketplace daytime thing at the El Rey with loads of underground
streetwear companies selling gear direct to the public with guest djs like
Invisibl Skratch Piklz rockin' the house all day. Shoppers delight!

There's a new Tues. night called Datum down at Mamagaya on La Cienega. Last
week's guest dj was Q-Burn, who wrecked it and the week before the ever
tasteful, Tomas (umoja sound system). This Tues. the 26th The Angel is doing
the guest dj spot representin' for the females--

She was remixing BNH, The Pharcyde and Spearhead back in the day... before the
term "acid jazz" became dirty words. I've been hearing lots about a project of
hers called Jaz Klash... jazzy d 'n b with Bristol's More Rockers. I'm still
hoping to hear some old school favorites from her. There's a good intimate
vibe at this spot.

Contact is a new Fri. night club down at Atlas (on Wilshire) and was very cool
on opening night with great visuals alongside great sounds by dj Kevin
Lincoln.

Life is still goin' strong down in Santa Monica on Thursdays at the Pink and
Sunday nights are waking up that quiet neighborhood with Science still
bringing the cream of the d 'n b world to our shores.

Peace
