The virtuoso violinist DBR , DJ Scientific and the queen of Haitian song, Emeline Michel, are a potent combination to be reckoned with.Having carved a reputation as an innovative composer and performer, Haitian-American artist Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR)  melds his classical roots and his own cultural history with vibrancy and imagination.

DJ , composer Elan Vytal, aka DJ Scientific, combines precisely engineered hip-hop beats and scratched rhythms with classical and world music sounds, both live and sampled, creating a uniquely contemporary, urban sonic experience. Named the ‘Joni Mitchell of Haiti’,  Emeline Michel merges native Haitian compass beat and rara with jazz, pop, bossa nova and samba.

Again it is flat out in for derby day, sadly Lexus have forgotten poor old ecolimo but I guess I need all brain cells firing as it looks like being a cold old day so there will be bedlam on the road. Any tip would be appreciated as I have no idea what or who to back.

After a logistical nightmare thanks to the success of the SLAM Rally we picked up the RocKwiz band James Black,Mark Ferrie and Peter “Lucky” Luscombe after playing the AC DC classic Its a long way to the top if you want to Rock and Roll. This was a repize of the the original in ACDC film clip for “It’s A Long Way To The Top” in 1976

The boys were just about done after the effort (it really was a long way to the top….of Bourke Street) and were ready for their tour of Adelaide for the festival over there.
