    Yea that 12" is sweet, i can't wait to hear the new stuff. Another thing to
    keep an eye on is the Skin Deep label's Total Science. I think there are a
    couple of 12" out. "Just a touch" is a shiki style stormer. Anyone have
    anymore info on these guys? I also have an LP sampler which suggests an LP
    in June2000. Is there an LP? They seem to come from the jungle side of
    things.

    Another amazing track i didn't hear mentioned here is by Plutonia on the
    Visions label. Dego and alex attias teaming up for a percussive future soul
    classic the likes of which you've never heard! so excited about it i forgot
    the name =)...

    Also digging an EP by Next Evidence called Sands. Nu house but lush and
    thick with a live feel. A flute that doesn't loop, played live over top...
    strings and such. really nice.

    peace,
