Back from some days at the Baltic sea and a short visit to Berlin, I´d like to share the latest blog talk about this year´s Notting Hill carnival.

Looks like not only Saturday and Sunday will be hot, but Monday will be fire as well. If I was in London, I wouldn´t want to decide whether to pass by Big Dada´s showcase celebrating the release of Roots Manuva´s “Again and Again”, the Heatwave´s carneval edition of “Immediate Sounds” or the UK debut of Diplo and Switch´s “Major Lazer” album.

I would probably opt for the latest though, as I was really thrilled by what I saw on the Mad Decent blog and heard on Myspace about mighty MD´s reggae/dancehall project so far.
