reviews:
New from New York musician/ producer/ innovator, DJ Kiva, is "Degrees of Freedom,."
His new album is released for those who can appreciate electronic music or dance(able;) music in all its forms.
He is an artist and musician that can take a blank canvas and create paintings that one could consider colorful, soulful, and psychedelic and another consider pure, minimal, or simply genius. The rhythms will keep your head nodding, your feet moving, and your mind opening with each track's raw energy and sound.
From jazz, to experimental hip-hop, to broken beat, featuring unique and powerful vocal expressions, it is something for anyone to appreciate. It is sure to be one of the most talked about albums for 2009 among those who enjoy innovative sounds or fresh new music. by: DJ Moleculez / Earthtronix

Personally been caught up in the year-end hustle (when everyone's project becomes the most important), so no plans of spinning out soon. What's up with you? Any gigs to roll thru during the holiday season?
Plus that stuttastep is wicked ... mashups too.
