  I first heard MC Zulu‘s voice on a Poirier track released last year on Ninja Tune. This guy has a VOICE! OMG!

Ok, you must think i’ve got some kind of obsession about Generation Bass :D But, it’s just that it’s difficult to find people who inspire you, so when you have the chance to meet some, you are, first, happy. And then u want to share the reason why with others. That’s the theme of this [...]
