i definitely heard about this last minute. from the write up below it sounds like it’ll be a great night. hopefully a lot of folks will come out and get down!
from going.com:
Bobbito makes a special trip to the fresh coast to Start an new party called Spread the WORD! which will feature music that will speak to your soul in many different languages. This will be an evening of Classics featuring Latin Soul, Afro Funk and variety of Gems that only Bobbito can provide. This will also mark the opening night of the Newest Live Music venue in Oakland and his first performance in our fine city.
it’s sad to hear that 4hero’s decided to stop making nu-jazz/broken beat music. instead they’re going more into hip-hop. let’s hope they change their mind but until then this remix by hopper from their upcoming lp due mid-october should hold us off.

i’m not a sample expert so when i do recognize one, especially from dj shadow’s ‘endtroducing’ lp, i definitely want to share it with all of you. hearing this gives me a newfound respect for the track and a new artist to dig in the crates for.

if inverse cine isn’t a household name to you maybe ‘aphro pzyko,’ ‘hipster wonkaz,’ and ‘motor city drum ensemble’ are. if you’re still unfamiliar, check his technique.
