Hello all,

##ALBUM OF THE WEEK##
>> >>Bugz In The Attic - Back In The Doghouse<<
Bugz In The Attic has always been many things to many people. A modern day JBs, mysterious lynchpins of one of the most progressive scenes in dance music, masters of the remix with a knack for turning the mainstream into the masterful, and creators of one of 2004s stand out singles in Booty La La. Already being hailed as album of the year, this is a blinder.
