Hey dudes ! How R U doin' on this other side of the screen ? Time's
definitely on to introduce you with what to be remembered as the best of 2004,

to appear quite often is this of Quentin Harris who we've managed to have
a chat with prior to his DJ tour in Britain incl. NYE at London/Cargo. As for
our current Single Of The Week, we stay in the same area with the

Salut les p'tits
loups ! Comment allez-vous de ce côté-ci de l'écran ? Le moment est
définitivement venu de vous faire part de ce qui sera à retenir comme le
meilleur de 2004, à commencer par les choix des membres notre rédaction. Parmi
ceux-ci, un nom qui revient régulièrement est celui de Quentin Harris qui
nous a fait l'amitié de répondre à nos questions juste avant d'entamer son DJ
tour outre-Manche (dont la soirée du Nouvel An au Cargo de Londres). Quant à
notre Single Of The Week, il provient du même endroit, ultime
livraison en date des vétérans Incognito. Joyeux Noël à tous.
