RIP Donna Summer

24 May 2012

Fresh from those dedicated souls at stalwart London label BBE, the new album from New York native Git (pronounced ‘jit’, after the original name for ‘b-boy’) is well worth investigating, especially for this nugget of a track, which has just emerged as … Continue reading

This is not a new record.  It was released at least six months ago by PMR Records.  However, it deserves another mention (it’s had quite a few from blogs all over the world already) as it’s one of those records … Continue reading
