looks like Jim got a brilliant idea with this "dont' be shy" question... you people looks more familiar now! buut how many people on this list, Erik, please ? and it looks like if the Aj list wanna create some kind of label, we've got the men in the distribution, the men in the links/contacts side, the men for... shit, we EVEN got some artists here! what a beginning for 2000?!!!
june, 27 since 12/99. 27? damn...
my mother listened to Eagles, Barclay James Harvest, the Stones, Linda Rondstat, Springsteen, and... Madonna (okay for records exchange, guys!) so i turned into hip hop soon, first : first good shit came in france around 87/88, so i was late, looking for rest of the world?! as i didn't liked it (being late), trying to take over the lost years by listening to it all ! have a bunch of friends as nuts as me, and we do spinning shit for around 10 years by now (at first it was strictly hip hop, but we came to acidjazz with Rebirth of cool & Totally wired, as so many people, and to... the rest!, from Mo'Wax to NinjaTune, from Pussyfoot to Coltrane, from the Jazz Messengers to Matmos, from.. to... many other stuff...).
after many little jobs i find one in a french label, 2 years ago, called Versatile (& Future Talk, the sister label), doing records covers for stuff like I:cube, Joakim Lone Octet, flyers for the Rex Club in Paris, etc... and it gaves me the opportunity to get some links to still get the sounds (i agree Morpheus is one of the nicest people in the business) despite i quit the job. business sucks, people got heads like a melon, so i prefer return to my roots (friends, vinyl, pizza... heaven on earth!) instead being disgusted by the money approach of so many called artists...
now i'm a lot into abstract shit, from dj vadim to king britt, from k&D to... whatever! and we do radio shows weekly with friends on a local one, aside some parties around our town. Still painting, doing dirty drawings, havin' closed relationship with Apple G3, etc.. the far are the people of the business, the better the music is. Uh.
june,
still lost in France since his birth (and if aj people vanna visit, i'm near swiss, so come skying/snowboarding, and don't forget rare records as cool gifts, eh eh eh)
ps: about Slum Village's lp, it's fantastic even if there'sonlya few promoes runnin around... i listened to it and it's great (i'm waiting for a copy so....). between many others stuff, check out the last Brand enw heavies "saturday" mix by Jay Dee, SV's grand manitou...
