Cancer. We all hate the word, as soon as you hear it I bet you can name a family member, friend, acquaintance that has had it or has been affected by it.
While sitting in the sun, smoking a cigarette I watch the people go by at Shibuya crossing, the busiest intersection in the world. Through various means and connections (thanks mainly to Watapachi and others at Temple University Japan) I was finally able to break through to find a street artist who was willing to meet me, face to face for an interview with Wolf/Sheep magazine...

You may or may not have noticed that the Modern Rock Mixtape was on a bit of a hiatus. I'll be honest in saying that it felt good to take a bit of a break. But getting back into the studio - escaping for that hour and losing myself in my DJ rig - made me very happy...
We at Wolf/Sheep have been aiming for a laissez-faire community between local art, music, and people in the industry. When I was given the opportunity to write an article for Wolf/Sheep Creative, I immediately knew where I was headed: Radio Contact Productions.
