    Hello, fans of broken beat, latin rhythms and soulful music of all kinds,
    Stephanie/99 from Philly here with some Beleza-related announcements I'm really happy about =)

    1/2) Happy Earth Day! This email is printed on 100% post-consumer recycled
    electrons.

    1) Tomorrow (Thursday) I'm playing @ Aqua Lounge (Phila) at "Paz y Placer," a
    benefit for a battered women's shelter, and I'm really excited to be involved.
    I'm sharing the tables with the crazy eclectic and inordinately funky DJ Statik
    from the Illvibe Collective, plus live percussionists! Definitely a treat, and
    for a *great* cause. Pre-party @ Red Sky, full details at
    www.belmont-familycharter.org/pazyplacer.htm

    2) New dj99 set! "Irrational Exuberance" is a cheeky, playful romp through
    Brazilian classics to contemplative funk up to unreleased broken beat treats.
    Getting great response so far, so get your electrosamba on at
    http://www.beleza-music.org/trackssets/index.htm.

    3) Oh boy oh boy, Beleza-Music.org has been completely revamped and relauched!
    Formerly the home of Broke & Beat Radio, the new site is a depot for original
    tracks, dj sets, profiles, features, and art from the world of broken beat,
    future syncopation, and the entire soulful diaspora.

    Up now: Tracks by Edwin (Phila), T. S. Heritage (Miami), dj sets from 99, Sezy,
    Koji, (Phila) and Jojo Flores! (Montreal) Profiles of many of these artists
    plus multi-instrumentalist Joni Love, (NJ) Zen One Dance Collective,
    international producer Yellowtail (NYC), artist/stylist Emily Amarnick, and
    more. Also, mountains of photos reaching back into ancient history.

    There's soooo much good stuff in the pipeline including a scene report from San
    Juan, Puerto Rico, an intimate conversation with the beautiful mind of Titonton
    Duvante, Brazilian festivities in Raleigh Durham, and tons of great music and
    info from all over the US and the world. I hope you'll take a dip into the
    wonderful talent that I feel so privileged to present to you.

    More news in due time. =)

    Thanks!
    99
