NORMAN JAY
A founding member of London's KISS FM in the mid-eighties, this legendary DJ
and contemporary of Gilles Petersen, became famous for first coining the
term 'Rare Groove', after his underground radio show, The Original Rare
Groove Show. Shortly afterwards he garnered acclaim for his above-ground
show, The Original Musiquarium U.K.-based Norman Jay brings his Good Times
Soundsystem to L.A. for a lesson in eclectic, danceable, house and rare
groove.
Recently named as The Face magazine¹s most influential club culture figures
of the decade (90¹s) and Mixmag top 100 Djs. Jay¹s influence in the London
club scene helped him attract the following then unknowns to his world
famous radio show; Coldcut, Jazzie B. (Soul II Soul), Trevor Nelson, and
Giles Peterson.
Be prepared to hear old skool classics mixed with new music and some of the
earliest House records from Chicago.

ARLING & CAMERON
Gerry Arling and Richard Cameron, better known to discriminating pop
afficionados around the world as Arling & Cameron, already much loved by
audiences in Japan & Europe, are preparing for the next phase of their
global takeover with their amazing new project, Music for Imaginary Films.
As their reputation blossomed the last several years, collaborations with
the likes of Fantastic Plastic Machine, Pizzicato Five, and Cornelius
followed. They spent a good amount of 1999 on the road, blowing audiences
away with their humor, hooks, musicianship, and good looks.
Music for Imaginary Films is a wonderful array of 'lost' soundtrack songs to
a variety of fictitious films and television pilots ranging from the fifties
to the nineties. The songs range from the 70's futuristic disco of "1999
Spaceclub" to the spy-jazz of "Hashi The Drug Sniffing Canine" to the
jubilant 60's white bread pop of "W.E.E.K.E.N.D." Enjoy an evening of A&C in
the flesh.

no denying the dedication, musical dexterity and utter brilliance that went
into this creation." -CMJ

"Scoring The Clubs"
Pick Feb 11-17, 2000
DJs Tony Watson, Jerome Sydenham, Pace at
More at Gabah.
Promising to deliver a tribalicious and multicultural house-music jamboree
like no other, Ritual Events unveils its new bi-weekly Friday night shindig
called More. A native of Nigeria, Afro-house legend Jerome Sydenham
headlines with Tony Watson and DJ Pace. Getting his start in A&R at Atlantic
Records, Sydenham eventually established his own label, the eclectic Ibandan
Records, where over the past three years the DJ/producer (with partners
Afro-house guru Joe Clausell of NYC's Body and Soul fame and house
heavyweight Kerri Chandler) has quickly earned the reputation of producing
some of the finest jazz-driven dance music around. On the local tip, house
DJ Tony Watson is fast gaining a rep as a turntablist to be reckoned with.
Host of Freeform on the Web's Spikeradio.com, Watson works with a jazzy
flavor maintaining a flowing groove amid hypnotic tribal beats. He'll be on
hand with Ritual's DJ Pace, blending old soul, dance-floor jazz, Afro-house,
Afro-beat and Latin rhythms.(DM)
