rollin' funk of KLaSH to the slo-mo sleaze of Les Elles, the radical Raya
collective (including CiM, Pete Lawrence and Friendly Scientist) sure are
a genre-hopping bunch. 'All different, all equal' they say. All wicked, all

("Free Saptal Ram" consciousness rising fund raiser)
On 16th November 1986, Satpal Ram suffered a vicious unprovoked racist attack
by a gang of 6 racists. As a result of Satpal defending himself he was
charged, sentenced, and sent down for murder. Despite being set a tariff of
10 years, Satpal has served 14 years already. After years of campaigning
Satpal's case is finally being heard by the Parole Board. It is only through
the support of various artists and clubbers across the country that we have
managed to get so far. we now need even more support to finally get Satpal
out of prison.
