King Britt and Furor Thing Give Thanks to contributors
"THIS IS FUROR THIN. I'M DOING EVERY THING IN MY POWER TO RECOVER FROM MY AILMENT. THIS GESTURE BY KING BRITT AND THE OTHER KIND INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE PLEDGED CAN NEVER BE REPAID IN A TANGIBLE CONTEXT. I LOVE HUMANITY AND EVERYONE WHO IS HELPING! I'VE DEDICATED ALL OF MY ADULT LIFE TO CREATING AND DEVELOPING CONDUITS TO HELP OTHERS. I'VE BEEN HEALTHY ALL MY LIFE AND THESE CIRCUMSTANCES CAME FROM LEFT FIELD. THIS CAN BE ANY ONE.
THERE MUST BE IMMEDIATE CHANGES TO HOW THE RECORDING INDUSTRY CARES FOR US WHO GIVE EVERYTHING AND ARE ABANDONED WHEN FACED WITH HARDSHIPS! MY SPIRIT AND SOUL IS GLEAMING MY VESSEL IS JUST TATTERED, WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOVE!
LOVE FOREVER!
FUROR THIN"

When this happened to our close friend, we started to investigate ways that artists and musicians can protect themselves and afford health insurance. We found an amazing non profit that are making major moves. Check it out!

We leave you with a funny but on point excerpt, from a rare Power Douglas interview.
One of NYC's best events is Francois K's Deep Space parties. Focused around dub influenced music, which encompasses all genres, this is the night that shows what a dj can do. King Britt always does it right and Francois K always gives him the whole night, which is quite an honor! See him this Monday....and
Chicago's Africa HiFi with Ron Trent and the lovely Sonia Hassan, bring King Britt to their 4th Anniversary Party. Siji, whom King has worked with, will be doing a live performance as well. Two phenominal nights, as King Britt travels the globe, bringing collective consciousness together.
As i get older, its harder to stay in tune with what the kids want. luckily i have a sharp daughter who's taste is quite amazing. anyhow, im learning to bridge the gap between history, excitement and education....playing party shit next to advanced.... this is from Victoria electronic Music Fest, where the average age was 13....
