New mix from this team, long time supporters of Ayres, Mr. Catchdinni, and Jubilee (ima point you to her label nightshifters). On another note heard JDH and Dave P have started to take over the bookings at Studio B in Brooklyn with 4am Jess Jubilee handling night time production (YGG). Expect to hear lots of news from this team in 2009 with dinosaurs of house proper house shit and I am sure all the late breaking stuff also. Check the mix and if you are in BK this weekend check the party.
