As In Da Mix goes in its ninth week on, the numerous and enthusiastic feedback which I've received from U so far tends to indicate that the direction could be good this time so that it's worth to keep on. Thanks to the following people who offering to enlist IDM on their websites, contribute to give it a wider audience : Joe B @ Kingstreetsounds.com, Kenny Summit @ FriendsNYC.com (Stateside) Fred Portet@deepsoundsradioshow.com, Lionel @soundsup.com, Pat & Clem @ daphonics.com, Nico @ limelightrecords.com (France) and Espen Wiik @ radio1norway.com (Norway). Not mentionning the ones who should join da list soon. I take it, not only as a sign of friendship, but also as setting up the basement for a better recognition of who we are worldwide and what we can become while exchanging infos that is nothing else than giving us to the opportunity increase our global potential.

As I've said or written in the past, I've seen a lot of people — more notably in France where I'm based — complaining about the fact that almost nothing was happening, but what da f*** was most of'em doin' at the end of the day ? Nuttin' ! Not a single act to open a new door. Am I finally the best positioned one 2 do it ??? Dis, once again, I dunno, as only time will tell. But one thang is 4 sure : I will maintain ! (je maintiendrai), to quote the famous Dutch Crown's motto. I will keep on until something tells me that it is useless.

Let's just imagine a world where you could instantly have a global idea of who amongst the people you're (musically) related to is doin' what. A world where you could quickly find what you're searchin' for. A world where you would have a correspondant in every key place, spreading the good vibe but also giving you the right info at the right moment. Seing your ideas and products using the right channels to reach the right people. Imagine what It could be solely with a small contribution from each of us !!! Isn't that worth to give it a try ? Isn't that here the basic and true meaning of a every tribe ??? And I'm not talking about money, except the one you'll have to spend to spread your informations. Come on, there's no talk without a smile, no exchange without a sign, no receiving without giving, as there's no common joy without shared pleasure… and no life without a birth ! The only thing we have to do is to make it happen and make it right, gettin' ourselves ready to respect and understand each other, which is not that hard, whatever we are, wherever we're coming from, as long as we know that we can count on each other.

This ain't nothing but the result of things that I've experienced myself, in America as In Hungary, in Spain as in India, In Scotland as in Greece, gaining year after year the trust and love of people who from, litteral foreigners at the beginning, became real friends I even may work with.

They know who they are but also who I am, this giving me some more will to keep on what I've been doing for ages now. Enuff said now, as an enormous mass of things still needs to be done. But at the end of the day, isn't that what makes us still alive ? Peace, MFSB
