Chubb Nice In Effect. <\/p>

The friendship & connection between the Woolacombe crew & A tight knit group of legendary New York underground DJ\u2019s began in 2002 with a mix tape or mix CD as it happened to be. The mix in question was Monk\u2019s Dreams by DJ Monk One of Wax Poetics fame. At that time I was resident DJ of the Marisco working along side my long term DJ partner & good mate DJ Delroydiggler. We had both brought a copy of Monk\u2019s Dreams & the Money Study's 45 featuring two Monk One edits that came out around the same time. Monks Dreams is an amazing selection of music that I massively recommend, it's maybe one of the only DJ mix's with no mixing in it but that actually enhances the selection with this style of mix which plays more like an album.<\/p>

A few weeks on & Joey (DJ Delroydiggler) had booked Monk to come & spin on our then Thursday night at the Marisco. We had seen he was traveling to the UK to play at Frends & Family in Manchester & had called those boys up to see if we could also book him whilst he was over. At that time we had a strong connection with the Machester crew as me & Joey brought alot of records from Fat City & many of the Grand Central Records roster including the label boss Mark Rae had been down to Woolacombe to play the Marisco.<\/p>

Myself & Joey where a little bit late picking Monk up from Barnstaple train station and he must of thought where the funk I\u2019m I. How ever we soon got him back to Woolacombe which was popping vibes wise with quite a lot of stuff going on around the village and lots of people out drinking in the sun. After a few drinks and a banging meal at the then Westbeach ( I think Monk had the Monk fish), we did a tour round town to take in the vibes. Buckie from Hunter Surf had the euro Quicksilver girls surf team down doing a mini surf festival \/ lessions for girls so we spent a couple of hours hanging out with them pre-club & put them all on the guest list for the night.<\/p>

The Marisco that night was full and the crowd was proper high energy, as I remember it was one of those great Marisco thursday night crowds that we used to get. Only A couple of people in there would have known who the quest DJ was but they where used to that as alot of people came to the club because of it's reputation for good music & not necessarily the name on the bill that quite alot of the time only myself & Joey would have known.<\/p>

Monk played a blinder and loved it. On the way back to the train station the next day he invited me & Joey to come & visit him in New York and that\u2019s basically how it all started.<\/p>
