Just go to Throb records on east 14th street, between 2nd & 1st aves...
they've got all the best downtempo, drum'n'bass, jungle, and as I
discovered a couple of days ago DUB!!!! (I went shopping and got a load
of hot downtempo, which I will be writing a review of fear not!, and I
got a couple of great King Tubby records!) any NYCers who want a listen
should come down to Organic EARLY tonight (I'll be done by midnight)

> 3. Gigs, events, battles, whatever!

as far as gigs go, someone already covered everything I could think of,
except Jungle Nation (which I believe moved to thursdays), but I'm not
sure if that's going on, does anyone have the info line phone #???

On another note, just want to mention that although I would normally be
spinning at Konkrete Jungle next monday, I was usurped by the Skylab
Sound System tour (if I have to lose a gig at least it's to these guys!)
and I will be back in my normal rotation (every other week) in two
weeks. Let this serve as a reminder to all NYC heads, Skylab will be
here next monday, be there or be stupid (and I don't want to hear any
whining if you miss it!) so for everyone who missed them at Soundlab,
this is your chance to redeam yourselves (although the sound quality
won't be the same as at Soundlab's $$$expensive$$$ sound system!)

peace,

Lo-Ki
