Shawn is no stranger to the music industry having released over 10 artists albums to date and a collaborations list to make your eyes pop out.
He took time out from being a rockstar to make this classic percussion album in his London studio 'Trans Yank'. When I went around, the cigarette pack was still taped to the congas making a rattle sound on Cajon On The Range, as were the pots and pans that his wife had called me to ask him to bring home. And yes, there is a hair comb on Totally Tubu...

PEDF042 – House Works – Funky basslines

To the industry Nicolas Scaravilli (aka Kid Creme) is an innovator. To some a genius. He single-handedly kicked off a style of funky house that spawned a genre of house music. Content with only releasing a record every 2 years he certainly cannot be described as over exposed. To have the privilege of releasing an album of 11 tracks from such a tastemaker is reason to celebrate indeed.
Admittedly Nico and I are old friends. We started making records together as teenagers. He was ...

…..& that is exactly what Volume 2 of Strictly chilled is all about: Changing the mood of of an entire room of people. (more...)...
