This saturday, Strange Fruit, our kindred spirits from Rotterdam, celebrate their 5th birthday. With quite a line up: Theo Parrish will be playing a 4 hour set, and Stones Throw founder Peanut Butter Wolf will also dig deep in the crates. Live act is Spec Boogie from Brooklyn, New York. If you don’t know him yet, check out the refreshing Bed Stuy. You’d like to be there? The good news is we have 2 tickets to give away. If you e-mail us the right answer to the question: Which Spike Lee film is sampled in Spec Boogie’s song Bed Stuy (mentioned above)? We wish Thelonious & Lucky Dubz a happy birthday.
E-mail us before wednesday, winners will get the news thursday.
