*theGoodFoot With NYC's DjMonkone(WaxPoetics/FatCityRecords)Sat28Oct@theTunnels-MP3s*

[Martin Jay]

Andrew Mason, better known as DJ Monkone, has been a fixture on New

York City's music scene for over 10 years. After playing bass and

guitar in several Punk/Funk bands, he began DJing seriously in the

early '90s.

In 1998 Monk joined the legendary Underground Railroad, New York's

longest running Hip Hop radio show along side the likes of DJ Spinna and

Qool DJ Marv. Monk's set's combining rare original break beats,

cutting edge hip hop and jazz have gained praise from listeners like

Weldon Irvine, Kool Herc, Bobbito Garcia and Q-Tip to name a few.

In 2001 Monkone and friend Andre Torres began talking about starting a

music magazine. The following year they released the debut issue of

Wax Poetics, which has gone on to become the world's most respected

read for music lovers and beat diggers.

Monk's Dream, an official mix CD that showcased some of Monk's

precious musical gems was released in 2002 and created worldwide

demand. This contained 2 of Monk's own Re-Edits that proved he is also

a talented producer. Last years "Phonolog E.P" on Japan's

Ten12Records featured a tasty array of mid-tempo funk, jazz and

Latin-inspired dancefloor bombs. The follow up mix CD "Still Dreaming" was

released on Manchester's Fat City Records label, where Monk has a

residency at their monthly Friends & Family parties and has become

their favourite visiting DJ due to his musical yet party rocking sets.

His current New York residencies include APT, Table 50 in Manhattan

and Brooklyn's Black Betty's. He is also a senior writer and

buyer for trendsetting NYC record shop Turntable Lab, Editor of

Scratch Magazine, in the studio working on further solo productions and has

just compiled the 10th Anniversary compilation of the Pulp Fusion series.

A very busy, highly influential and well respected figure who we are

proud to present for Octobers edition of theGoodFoot. This is going to

be a night of cutting edge Hip Hop, dusty original Break Beats,

deep Disco, hard hitting Funk , Rock, Jazz, Soul, classics you know and

don't from all over the world, and one hell of a Party.....you dig!!
