Leroy in Rome - October 04
Leroy has been invited to be a guest lecturer at this years Red Bull Music Academy which will take place in Rome, Italy.
From their site:
The Red Bull Music Academy: a unique environment where musical innovators shed light on the history, the motivations and the technology behind the tunes that you love. It's a place where ideas are expanded and friendships are forged in real time. It's where sonic theorists meet up with beat junkies and communicate the best way they know how - through music.
Each year a group of participants are selected from a diverse range of musical landscapes, cultures and skill sets. They are mixed together to jam experiences over two fortnight-long sessions, and in 2004, the location will be Rome, Italy. It's a city of dynamic flux and contrast, of classic culture and futurist beats in the heart of Italy. We'd love to see you there, but sadly, the application phase is over by now, this year's chosen sixty have been announced. Keep watching this space for further updates - not only, but especially during the Rome sessions, October 3 – 15 (term one) and October 24 – November 5 (term two).
Leroy will be attending for a few days during term one.

The next release from the Chicago sessions?
Chicago's Dust Traxx Records (or their Night Life Collective sub-label) should finally be issuing something else from Leroy's Chicago sessions soon.
As well as Chez Damier's 'Your Love', Leroy also recorded with Harrison Crump, Mr. Ali, Ron Carroll, Glenn Underground, D.J. Quad, E-Smoove and Nick S when he was in the Windy City.
The first release will mostly likely be between the collaborations with Harrison Crump or Mr. Ali (aka Jere McAllister & Vic Lavender).

New Black Ivory LP - Update
You may remember that a while back we gave you the news that Black Ivory were working on their first new album for a hella long time. Well, good progress has been made with the tracks, and the boys are currently negotiating with several labels (which shall remain nameless for the time being). We hope to bring good news on this soon.
