Any Memories You’d Like To Share: Notting Hill ’04, it was brilliant, first year we had done it. We received an incredible response, to the level where I wasn’t expecting sooo much. It was a roadblock though, I thought because we were an up and coming soundsystem we wouldn’t really have got as much people on our road and everyone would’ve went rampage or king tubby’s or one of the others. (Big shout out to the ‘rampage’ sound, and ‘king tubby’s’ as well, that year you both delivered superbly as well.) But our audience was so widely ranged, and there were so much different cultured people, with us dancing to us deliver, aww man it was great, I wish that weekend lasted for a week…That’s one of my best memories from this business so far though.
Anything Else You’d Like To Say, Any new ventures for the future: Well, well, well, just keep your eyes peeled and continue to listen out for the ‘Vybz Empire’ because we’ve got a lot to show you.
