Back from TORONTO: the scene was wonderful; great city, enormously
hospitable! Peace to Hot Stepper Productions (Carlos Mondesir), Paul E
Lopes, BEAT Factory, and all the folks at The Octopus Lounge!

The mix at 11:00 is a Tribute To Toronto, featuring tracks from the BEAT
Factory compilation "Rap Essentials," and a slamming cut from Paul E
Lopes' Heavy Handed.

New stuff: got Jhelisa's "Language Electric," which will get heavy
rotation on my show; especially like "Story of A Musician's Madness,"
which features Matt Cooper (Outside) on piano. Ambersunshower's
"Running Song," which features the "Hanging on a String" loop is out on
12"
