That's great news! So happy you found someone who brings out the bear in you!! Can't wait to hear it. Gonna go check out your myspace page now. I'm gonna let my friend, Claire, know about your gig. She lives in London, and just produced a set of commercials for teen-pregnancy that have recently hit the tele over there. Would love for her to hear your stuff!! She's like a young Janet Street Porter, but without the big teeth and ugly glasses - hahaha!! I've just been doing some collabs online when I'm not being sick - all winter long, it seems. Out to Cali beginning of July - hooray sunshine!!!! Lots of love xxx

Hey - how's it going?
Messaging you to see if you have gotten the K-os autographed CD yet? I saw you on the k-os contest and was just wondering because I haven't gotten mine yet.
Anyways - keep up with the great tunes...Later

Dizzy Spin wrote on March 16, 2009:

Ah, Len. So sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine, as a mom of two young girls myself. My heart goes out to you and the family. I'll give your song a listen, and a vote, of course, as I am sure it is brilliant, filled with love and emotions. All my best, frient

Dizzy Spin wrote on March 16, 2009:

Hey. Len. I'm not really feelin' that John Legend song, so I think I'm gonna pass. I've got a few collabs goin' that I'm going to focus on. You? Let me know, so I can have a listen - I'm sure you can mix it so I'll like it :-)

Dizzy Spin wrote on March 11, 2009:

Keep me posted on the K-Os release. Hope you them bills paid :-)
Peace, Diz

Dizzy Spin wrote on February 21, 2009:

I was glad to be your companion along the way, mate! So glad to hear this came at the right time for you. I'm a true believer in fate. If you ever want to collab, hit me up. My husband and I work together, so it's a bargain - 2 for 1 special! You can check out his indaba page and some of his tracks. He's in my contacts as Carlo Bell. $2,000 for bills (maybe you can get some sponsorship out of this down the line - FREE EQUIPMENT/SOFTWARE is always nice!) Peace, my friend

Hey Len. We're supposed to know the results today by 5PM EST which would be about 11 in the evening over there. So you should know by midnight at the latest. I wish you all the best!

Tassili Bond wrote on February 9, 2009:

Voted for all your mixes bro. Much respect. Keep it up man.

AFfriKkAaa / Vol wrote on February 3, 2009:

Whats gud Len! Just listened to your Aviator mix! Thats on some real deep ish! That intro makes me think of some Spike Lee movie from back in the day like Clockers or suttin! It's a crazy build - real smooth instrumentation... I guess you didnt get a chance to cut it before the deadline (or chose not to!) either way best of luck in the comp bro.

Peace!
