A guy whose explosive cocktails are to be considered as the contemporary response to the pioneering DIY Chicago approach consisting of blending everything (as long as it’s soulful and groovy) over some house beats. This already vet who’s been around for nearly a decade and a ½ dropping jams on labels such as Yellorange, Peacefrog and Dancemania to name but a (very) phew looks like pretty well decided to gain some mo’ credits this year…
