    more real info soon regarding records.. maybe the return
    of KILLER KUTS!

    and one more thing. some people have been asking for copies of
    some of the edits i play out sometimes when i dj. there are no
    plans to release such edits to the public as they are for dj purposes
    and they are meant to be heard out in the club. so if you REALLY
    want to hear them, come out to the party! plus sometimes such
    "edits" (i use that word VERY VERY loosely) are done on the spot
    via the handy cdj with the 5 or so cds i actually take with me when i
    play out... cds- lol!
