ROLL CALL: North America

[bionicbooty]

Off my head, I know of (playa, location, and what they play)...

me (Chicago) - engineer/producer
Sen (Toronto) - producer/dj
Casper (Chicago) - dj
Senyo (Canada?) - dj

Boosted (Miami) -dj/producer
Lady J (NYC for now) - dj/producer
DJ Loveit (Denver) - dj

If you're in N.A. or know of more people to add to the list, holla.

One love.
papa.

my word...that's a lot...everyone else pipe in, because I'm positive I've missed people






Oh, and Senyo's in Montreal

BTW, I really want to do this up proper...I'll host the list and keep updates

Want email contacts, ICQ/MSN/AIM whatever, links to homepages/scene pages/mixes/songs etc. so that we can run in smaller circles and know who to talk to if I'm looking for a booking in DFW or whatever

[bionicbooty]

My Y!IM is "bionicbooty". And I think you got the rest of my info.

Why didn't I think of this list earlier? (Sen, you probably did)

[Sen]

I did, and was going to make a move on it, but life caught up thanks for kicking me in the ass and beating me to the punch! Now you look much cooler than me

BTW, I'm going to work on getting this kind of stuff set up for auto entry on a simple webpage...

That would be perfect - especially if it can be easily printed out in list form. We got some promoting to do in the near future. And I could never look cooler than you.

Big up.

[lady-j]

some corrections.
Frankie P is in NYC. Abstract (Took My Love Away on Rat Records) is from San Francisco, Cooper is in North Carolina and Deceptakahn is in Dallas.. Dallas has more UK Garage DJs than just about any other US city i think.

i have some others as well, but their demos are not handy at the moment.

[lady-j]

as far as i know SCSC is no more. or if it is it has been scaled way back since i left and Kevlar aka Thomas D is the sole UKG reperesenta in the city. not quite sure what happened with his crewmate Frank but last time i heard his show on strike Frank was relaced by a Techno/Broken beat bloke named Jwan.

so there's your answer.

lady j

[deejayloveit]

thanks for the info. Thomas D is on my email list. haven't seen much of him as of late, now i may know why.
