hey there!
If you're heading out and about tonight (or looking for a good reason
to), then look no further than glide at Gypsy Co-op (817 Queen St. W.)
where Andrew Allsgood and myself will be joined by Blissom of Spot
Records fame. Blissom has recently brought us blistering, jazzy bits
like "Tag Team Triangle" (with Merkin) and "Second Wind" (his remix of
Rise Ashen's original), both of which have received heavy duty thumbs up
and airplay in the UK and other parts of Europe. He's also an excellent
DJ, moving easily from nu jazz business to deep, sweet and funky house.
Blissom shakes it up tonight from 11:30pm-1am, with Andrew and I before
and after. NO COVER just good music and great vibes.
Speaking of which, a big thank-you again to selectors Chocolate and
David Judah who joined us last week and played much sweet dub, roots and
reggae. Their sets were beautiful, the room was packed, and the vibe
truly could not have been better. Thanks to all who made it a special
one!
