Afghan Headspin studio news Summer 2009
Been hard at it in the studio, first out the doors will be a collab we have done with Cut La Roc, just putting the finishing touches to it, working title "Got to get some!", everyone's really pleased with the results and this should go off on the floor. There is a cheeky bootleg also doing the rounds we are guilty of producing, we started our Glastonbury & Glade sets with it, and going by feedback, looks like many other dj's will be dropping it this Summer, not sure on a release, or whether we will give it away online, court is still out on that one. As for new original material, 5 yrs 10 yrs is getting a final going over, and then we hope to have a very special remix done, watch this space!
