He played 93 Feet East in London not long ago? Anyone catch that? Not that i need an excuse for this time. i have copies of Paradigm, El Primer Ano and Offering. They are all superb! His own work combines African rhythms, Latin sounds and beatiful deep house with conscious lyrics. Albums like Offering also have spine tingling selections like Chimes of Freedom. And my cd copy is different to the vinyl copy i saw recently in Rush Hour and has a few extra tracks on it like Standard Issue Tools vol 1 (i think it's called that!), which is also a fantastic track!
