I love this show! G.P. is a master! I was so happy to be at the Liquid Room too. Thanks for connecting the dots, Gilles. I can't wait for you to come back to Japan. See you then!

This is one of the best tracklistings on the show!Can't wait for the WWF in Singapore.

Japan has one of the craziest music scenes right now. The talent is immense there and is enough to get people buzzin'.I've yet to visit one of these days. If I do, I'll probably be broke from all the record shoppin'.Good stuff Gilles, as always!-DJ ONCS6
