I recently did a remix for my Brit friends Simon Littlefield and Nigel Summerley. We met these two last summer, when they were playing in the fine rock group Sky Pirates and did a gig with them at The Borderline in London..memorable for Rena and I getting lost on the way back to our hotel [...]

Corrente lays it down…
