 Greetings!

This month is NextAid's annual mega-benefit in San Francisco and with 15+ DJs spinning into the night, you can't miss out on this opportunity to dance for a difference.  NextAid also invites you to sample Funk Aid for Africa, a charitable mixed CD compiled DJ ObaH, and produced by dubSpot for NextAid, at our LA listening party.  Also this month, is Safari Soiree, a chance to mingle for charity at the legendary CINESPACE.  Can't make it out to any of this?  You can still support us by purchasing the Funk Aid CD and/or the newly release Digital Bliss Volume 2.

Thanks for all of the continued support, because of you beats do build hope.
