    Yuichi,

    Go see Spinna! Great DJ with CRAZY knowledge in music and records. Spinna is dat dude! He will play a nice set for sure. We always go diggin' and go get dinner when he rolls through Seattle. Very nice guy and can talk music and records all night. I felt sorry for my wife the last time we had dinner together at a Thai spot here in Seattle cause Spinna and I were just talking about soul, disco and Brasilian records throughout the whole meal! LOL. I asked hommie if there was a 12" for Stevie Wonder's "that girl." He said "Yep Mexico only, got it at the crib." We went diggin' earlier that day and hit Jive Time records here in Seattle. Spinna was pulling records out of bins and showing me all kinds of tracks he sampled. He put me up on a lot of joints. That fool is a BALLA when it comes to the records. I saw a Lemuria original on the wall and pointed it out to him. He just said "Oh word, all I got is a Japanese re-issue!" He grabbed it right off the wall and just threw it onto his stack of records without checking the price. Be sure to call him "DJ Vince Dynamite!" if you meet him. He will love it! LOL

    he plays great sets in every city I've seen him in EXCEPT Toronto. Promtoers that book him here throw garage house parties in general, so he tends to play for that crowd. It's ok, but I keep thinking about the wasted potential.

    He has done numerous theme parties for Keistar in NYC (Prince, MJ, etc). The biggest of them all being the annual Stevie Wonder events w/ Bobbito, usually on Stevie's birthday. They've brought the party to SF thanks to the boys at Massive Selector/Fresco. Now to get them to do a theme party up here....

    He always kills it. a brilliant dj & super nice guy.

    last time he rolled thru my town he hit the record shop i work in at around 4pm, dug till he had to DJ at around 11pm. After he'd finished he was like "can i get back in there, i didn't get to the sevens", went back to his hotel at around 6.30am.

    Yo Chan, how damn tall ARE you??? It's been a long time since I saw Spinna at the record shows in NYC, but I don't remember him being a short dude. He lookin' like Gary Coleman in that picture!

    Dude is a one of THE most wildly underrated producers IMO...too many to name, but a lot of unique, well crafted joints.

    I have lost count of the number of times I've spun his mix of Carleen Anderson's "Rideaway, Getaway". Like the man said, I could dance to this all night.

    Current Spinna hotness is the mix of Stevie's "My Love Is On Fire". Check it.

    word up.

    Some of my best experiences dancing/listening to music in clubs involved Spinna deejaying.

    BUT WHAT ABOUT HIS PRODUCTION? He hasn't made anything in a while that I really liked, but back in the indie era he was on point. Anyone recomend anything he's done recently that's dope(Hip-hop, soul, house?). I really didn't like his new album at all.
