Friday i was in the studio working on my next release and, if i do say so myself, it is sounding HEAVY!
The vocalist this time round is Marcella Woods, probably best known for being half of “Out of Office“. She’s a really cool girl and a great singer. We will definitely be working [...]

So, this was my first release under the name of Altus. This came out on white label vinyl in May 2004.

Original Soulful mix
Funked up mix
