May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I have been delving into the extended mixes offered by the YouTube channel 110Berlin and their output is getting very good indeed.

I have a bit of a mish mash of stuff to catch up with on here. Just, general music news and observations over the past few days. All to be brushed upon shortly. I’ve been delayed in getting to the topics coming up because on Sunday I was out pretty much all day with not…
The top-end pro electro kit – offering the best of both worlds with the snare and toms as shell pads providing an acoustic feel. Enjoy Cherisse’s promo videos for Yamaha below.
