words:

the boys are back in europe. the boys are back in town. radio. on the bus , on the road . on stage.
talking about Fat Freddys Drop Road To Europe Tour 2011!
jamming like no others, providing us with the all over good vibes straight out of Wellington, Aotearoa.
about time for the return of the road trip edition, remember last years words & music special?
this time i have asked dr. boondiiga & the big b.w. if the fat freddys can do something special directly from their nightliner ride through the uk, netherlands & portugal before the touch down here in germany to play frankfurt, munich and berlin. and yes, they did. or better: the one and only MC Slave did it, getting members of the crew on the mic to select a few tunes for soulsearching. the mobile ffd recording studio in action for over 60 minutes full of mostly unheard pieces and some exclusives out of the travel cases. a warm welcome back in frankfurt and on the soulsearching airwaves, ladies and gentleman, this sound is original, this is the drop ! thanks and shouts to Mark MC Slave and the crew for doin this !

warming up before their selection with a few back in time moments, riding the musical waves again as i 've been digging through tons of records at fleamarkets in amsterdam a few weeks back plus a brandnew tune by Recloose,
Matt Chicoine, who was the one responsible startin the buzz almost over 10 years ago by bringin over a handful 12inches of "midnight marauders" original pressing to daniel best who gave me my copy . . . the rest is history.

so i am looking very much forward to hangin out with the new zealand crew again this monday here in frankfurt/offenbach before playing a warm up set until FFD will hit the stage. 27th that is. more info: www.fatfreddysdrop.com and check out the tv channel also....

enjoy the  music.
