Ben Ben Ben! What ARE you doing? Well at least your choices are good...

I've already ordered the Lee Cabrera choon with Jesse Garcia Rmx... you may also wish to check out a chilled Jesse Garcia remix of Harry Choo Choo Romero's "Mongobonix" (also with Milk n Sugar Rmx). The Aviators/Cassius choon "Violence 2004" is a must.... it is massive, just ask the Moskva girls... 3am works really well too. The Andy Funk choon sounds nice, but I didn't order it, I'd rather check it for "free" first, then if it works, I may use my discretion in purchasing it...emphasis on "may"... try before you buy...

In terms of ordering choons, you'll soon see how many choons I have received over the last few weeks, when Adelaide airwaves get saturated with new house and tribal beats... I've got them all already, but thought I'd hold off releasing them for a little while longer. After all the June 2004 chart will be coming soon... we are talking in the vicinity of about 20 tracks... so you better start saving my son!

insert Ben James in a foetal position here

Mobin is playing at Garage soon (I think)... but will be heading overseas for a superstar dj tour of China and Europe... hopefully Mobin will post sumtin soon! So doesn't look like there will be a Mobin & Bill gig for a little while

Re your promotion - just post it under "News"... I have no problem superstar House DJs (like yourself) posting where you are playing. It's no secret that we have respect for you...

PS we are still waiting for you to get yourself into the Fresh studio! Kwik!

PSS why aren't you playing at Moskva this week? Trying to get myself to come in and see you play again and laugh in an evil Bill way (and occasionally scream out "CHEESE!" and sarcastically say "I haven't heard this choon before!"). Seriously though, you are one of only 2 or so House DJs that we make an effort to come and see.... Reminds me I have to hassle your bosses to give me a gig sometime too... hmmm

It's the `post exam I deserve this' attitude. To be honest the finances aren't all that bad at the moment. Been getting a bit of work so....

I can't believe you mentioned that `Mongobonix' tune. After I finished my exam today, I decided to treat myself to a new tune or two... and went off digging the crates at a suburban record store. I flicked past a Subliminal cover, and almost didn't pick it up; I haven't dug many Subliminal tunes. (`Disco babes from Outer Space' and `Just Can't Get Enough' were the last ones I bought I think. Ugh.) Anyway, the name Mongobonix hinted of a promise of bongos, so I gave it a listen.

Mas-Pito is the most insane track I've heard in ages! CHOON as Bill would say!

I totally love it. How long has this tune been around for? It was a second hand record, looks about a few years old. I can't believe I hadn't heard of it. It's got the sexiest sax solo I've ever heard. Stomps on "We All Love Sax" as far as I'm concerned. Big call...but this tune is gorgeous. Anyway, can't wait to give it a test run. I can't stop listening to it at home. Can you recommend any other similar tunes of the yesteryear I may have overlooked?

Anyway so is Mongobonix the artist or tune title? From my record it appears it's the artist, but you're mention of it suggested it was the title.

Looks like Mobin is indeed playing this Friday. Game on!

As for the June Chart; my Credit Card and I await it in fear.

Re: PS I'm on holidays now, so I'll come in and keep you company when Mobin goes on holidays so you don't get lonely. It can get awfully cramped in that little shoe box studio with too many heads.

Re: PPS I am playing at Moskva this week! I only play Saturdays...and just mentioned I have Friday off. See the `News Section' for details! Gasp! Thanks for the compliment.

It's from 1999 - subliminal #20. I have a copy of this, and totally agree. Top choon! However the groove is a little sluggish for today's tribal style beats, and the vocal 'MONGOBONICS' every five seconds gets a bit old. It reminds me a bit of Mobin's redo of 'let it ride' by sgt slick - now *that's* a monster sax stormer..

To the guy moaning MONGOBONIX every 5 seconds...SOD OFF! Now that you've pointed it out it's like a dagger in my heart everytime I hear it. I got a bit caught up in the moment.

The beats are awfully sluggish, but does Subliminal know any other way? Luckily it's an old second hand copy so the record is weathered and dusty too! Yay!

Oh well I'll chuck in the mix anyway. 5 years behind the times.

Night.
