Beats & Pieces – Some Angel History In The First Person Pt2

There are only a few degrees of separation between myself and The Pharcyde, Spearhead, The Brand New Heavies, Donald Byrd, Mystic and Frente all from my early days in LA signed to Delicious Vinyl starting my journey remixing and producing and figuring out how to cope with all this sunshine after years of that famous London grey…

One of my earliest and most bizarre memories of the time, was meeting Harry Shearer at Spring Break ‘93 in Daytona Beach with the Delicious Vinyl crew and The Brand New Heavies, who were playing… then seeing Pauly Shore mobbed by more fans than any band, then having Harry give me some really sound advice about indie labels and an inevitable lack of accounting… smart guy.

My early Delicious Vinyl days spawned these remixes among others: The PharcydeBrand New HeaviesBrand New Heaviespeople_150thenewgroove_150

Good Energy Is Golden…

Luckily, I’ve got some really good souls in my circle… and as if I’d sent for this one myself, Tre Hardson aka Slimkid3 just came by and graced us with his special brand of goodness. Mind you, I had no idea he was in LA recording with Fatlip when I reached out this morning to see when he might next be in town… but that’s how it works when people are truly connected.

So we shared some spiritual notions, philosophical banter, Libra concerns over how to manage multiple artist personalities – like Tre with Slimkid3 and me with 60 Channels as my alter ego, a few war stories and a laugh! The Pharcyde are heading out to Australia next week to play the Good Vibrations Festival 2009 … and I will happily be on lockdown in the cave so I can get all these new releases ready. Finally back to makin’ records in ‘09!
