Although we might luck out – there’s a video floating around somewhere!

Thanks sir, check back in at least once a year!

Listening to these sessions (especially the Clash of the Techno series) it is clear that Shannon had a show from 8-10PM on Saturday nights and so this would mean that Radio London was from 6-8PM.

The other dimension in this fantastic history that you and community have created is that this way of documenting our history will be lost. We lived in the pre-digital mobile age and when digital cameras were not pervasive, video cameras were expensive and hard to own for the relatively young – so this piecing together of history through your memories – this is something that will happen less and less of as the younger peeps will just refer to there digital videos, pics, FB timelines . . .

I have revisited this after nearly 20 months and just wanted to big you and the Cru up again. Fantastic result, effort and approach.

You reminded the T_Step of the days when we all were innocent to learn, have fun, all at the same time . . .

Respect,

i was listenin to Nik Redman’s AfroTransit on CKLN tonite (thu 5-7pm) and Soul to Soul’s Back to Life came on. i shivered as i remembered the very first time i heard this song and band – Malik playing it at the Lizard Lounge. this song hit me in places i didn’t know i had so hard i was in tears dancin my ass off to it, that time and many times since. so tonite, i searched FB for malik – nada – then googled him, and here i am (http://www.thecommunic8r.com/2009/08/dj-malik-x).

very soon after that nite at the Lizard Lounge, i was listenin to Malik’s Radio London religiously, then started going to the Cameron on Wed nites for his acid jazz and rare groove sessions. a bunch of us danced there till the sweat was pourin off us into the wees on wed nites for FIVE YEARS! i did attend some of the other nites and clubs, but to me, and us, Malik was the Cameron’s… and rare groove was his specialty!

i have some of his tapes. i’m unpacking right now but will look for them and put them aside. wd be nice to share them!

we all grew close over those years, just dancin and apprecialovin the groove, the way he could handle a crowd, drive us wild, till we were shouting “murderah”! as he’d play one more boom track! sometimes we had to just scream to cope with the energy movin thro us! some craaaaziness happened on that dance floor – remember dean and howard leapin across the room and dancin horizontally??!!!

i found my self, my riddim, my groove, my body, my freedom, my expression in that room. thank u Malik for givin us the best of yur musical JahWorks! i would SOOOOO enjoy knowin what yur up to now, given what an inspired, creative, cuttin edge and healin Kingman u were back then!

i say Kingman cuz Malik got into Rastafari and reggae in the later Cameron years and ended many an incredible nite with a deep reggae session.

by far, the best of times!
