This was my first release. I was living with Madison WI, learning from and arguing about music with my good friend Stewart Walker.

I love Puerto Rico. The exceedingly hospitable guys running this label invited me to PR twice - each time was fantastic. The first time was when I was living in Minneapolis, the second time was from Berlin. Talk about 180 degrees of culture difference, and about 90 degrees of temperature difference.

The first track is the famous Phoenecia remix from those boys in Miami.
