Taking The Capital!


Washington DC loves Global Bass! Washington DC loves Los Chicos Altos!  Our first gig on the East Coast of the USA was on the patio at Eighteenth Street Lounge along with "El Jefe," Mikael Palner of UrbanWorld Records.  In the main room was Fort Knox 5's Steve Raskin & Jon H who were our hosts. Steve said "We were trying hard to keep people in the main room--everyone was going out to the patio!"  He & Jon were actually really happy for us and the response we got.  We went to see them the next night in their new residency at Tropical on U Street.  The sound was perfect at Tropical and it had a real underground NYC kind of vibe to it...
Many thanks to the Fort Knox organization (Hi Andy!)
Next stop, NYC...
