EASTER SUNDAY 2012...

Amazing night last night..! Couldn't ask for a better way to wrap up the 4-day run of music madness - great crowd, awesome vibe & loads of House grooves - Temperance Hotel was simply rocking..! Felt the love throughout the entire night..! So many highlights - seeing the dance-floor go crazy during the Afro-Latin bracket of my set, the incredible reaction from the crowd when I dropped "Brighter Days" by Cajmere feat. Dajae & of course busting a few moves later on with the world's greatest dancer :P lol - big ups to Nicholas Mamouzis aka Nik M who played a stellar early set & already had the room temperature hitting red & Marcus Knight who delivered a quality transition & had the entire place jumping; Both boys doing what they do best behind the decks..! Didn't get a chance to check-out Mz Rizk upstairs but I'm sure she did her thing, serving up those bump 'n' grind beats... Much love to Chris NG & Le Soul who I'm sure were there in spirit, whilst slowly getting ready to head back home next week from the States & take care of the usual Soulful Sunday duties... Until next time - 1 luv - peace & music-beats d(-_-)b x
