Its been a good year here at streetbeats i think. Theres been many many positive notes and not too many disasters. I'd like to thank all the crew that have helped push the message forwards, we've had some new recruits to the camp namely Exxon, Strike (back from the dead!!), Bobule , Stevie D, Fracture & Neptune, Filter, Paradox and Kirsty and Terry, all of whom have proved to be heros in their own right within our various projects. Love as always to the big two, namely Jay (i love you!!) and housemate Ben (love you also!!) together we have managed somehow to keep things going in the face of adversity.Love also to ZnO, come on guys lets do it this year finally.....
Money as always has been a fucker this year but somehow i dont think that 2002 was supposed to be about money, that will come in 2003. We've still got various distribution and manufacturing problems but lets hope that these things will iron themselves out. The music has gone from strength to strength this year and again without all the boys taking various responsabilities from my narrow shoulders this wouldnt have been possible.
Theres been a few low points but hardly serious, i was gutted to lose my close friend Mr Unsane from ZnO at first but with the arrival of Stevie D this has turned out for the better (getting writing Dunk baby!!). Record sales have been up and down but at the end of the day we're still here with a fistful of labels to our name in various genres of music. Beat Jam has been a resounding success and lets hope that we can keep this up.
Congratulations to my girlfriend Aurora who got her first full release on the

we're all a part of something very important in some way. some kind and in some place.....
