As MsDisdain and I are currently in Hawaii, we asked Billy Zane from the Pacific Jungle crew to rinse out a set for Translation Sound.  If you’ve been out to any of the drum&bass and dubstep nights here (e.g. Subphonix, Audio Lab, Speaker’s Corner), you probably know him as the guy snappin da pics but he’s also pretty mean behind the ones and twos–just look at that tracklist!  Lastly, lock your web browser in to www.wkphotog.com to peep Billy’s massive portfolio of shutter work for another reason to come out to the 808 state (besides the weather of course).  That’s it for now, bigup Billy and all the fam at Pacific Jungle!!!
