    We're not alone...there are thousands of bands fusing 'live' and samplers in
    a really funky, soulful way. Blimey, people were suspicious of the saxophone
    not so long ago.......

    In The Bluefoot Project, Rachel's voice (she's one of the best divas I've
    heard in years) is propelled into outaspace against lush Akai technologies.
    Keep off industry, this is the North of England calling..... we're releasing
    them in the new year and for now, only the track "All Will Be Well" is
    available via Pinnacle on our compilation "Taster....Sounds From The Funky
    Underground"

    The other band you mentioned is Kava Kava- releasing Funked Up and Freaked
    Out EP/12" via a few dates. Again grooves and soul. Check out the Zion Train
    mixes...... apparently Andy Cato's been caught playing these......If any of
    you fine groovers are in the UK and want a guest list place email me on
    pat@chocolatefireguard.co.uk
