Afro Gigolo Records would like to wish everyone all the best for 2008! We're extremely grateful for the wonderful response we've had in the last 12 months to our releases: Hear the Sound, Hear the Sound Remixed, and Unplugged in Japan. There's loads more good stuff to look forward to in the coming 12 months: the new Victor Davies album (fresh sounds - trust me, you'll like it!) not to mention the long-awaited Dahiqi album (at last!). Forget 2008, maybe we should call it two thousand and GREAT! (Sorry, that was just too cheesy *embarrassed smile*)

TRIBUTE TO GOYA: On a serious note, we at Afro Gigolo Records are very sorry to hear the news about Goya Music Distribution closing down. Goya was instrumental in spreading the West London sound worldwide and we have to thank them for introducing our music to an international audience. We wish all the best to Mike, Spencer and everyone else at Goya for the future. xxx
