If you read my interview with E*Rock back in April, you'll already know he's spending some summertime in one of the world's best cities --> Berlin. What has he been up to? Various exploits that look fun fun fun and that you can keep up with via his blog Light and Sound. Well at least those that happened in Benelux.
When not completing freelance assignments and not partying enough, he can also be found dispensing the best in music tips.
E*Rock's chance encounter with Chromeo his first night out led to me mentioning bumping into Erlend Øye randomly at Rio when I was last there, which led to him sharing a heartbreaking (not really) Erlend episode of his over the course of several 3am (my time) emails. That brought him to pass along info about TVT artist O-Solo who samples one of Erlend's songs. All I needed were the words "east coast hyphy" and I was there. Now you are too:
