Catch up with ALI SHAHEED and MASEO before they hit Manchester

Get refamiliar with Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Maseo before they hit Manchester tomorrow evening. Two deep interviews from the RBMA last year delve into the history of both groups from the points of view of the DJs – the 25 minute mark, with Ali explaining the difference to his mom between Technics and belt drive, should hit home with anyone that’s ever deejayed.

Cognito from Frolab hosts the talks. Shouts to Shaolin Jaster for the video links.

More Bounce present Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest) and Maseo (De La Soul) Thursday 11th April 2013, 9pm, at Mint Lounge. Tickets here.
