   About Robert Luis
As a young kid after seeing some breakdancers in Wathamstow, East London dancing to the B Boys '2,3 Break' and then subsequently getting a Hip Hop mixtape from my older cousins, I got into hip hop. I tried breakdancing and graffiti but was rubbish at them. I did my first mix on a tape recorder borrowed from a friend (of Paul Hardcastles 19 with a recording of a class in my school mucking about and getting told off by a teacher) when I was 15. I got my first DJ gig aged 16 DJ'ing at a friends party as I had the most records (about 40 which was considered big!) and from there got quite a few gigs as DJ'ing wasn't seen to be particulalrly cool then. Went to Brighton to study but DJ'ing and partying at the Zap to Chris Coco and Streets Ahead meant I failed. Managed to convince the University to let me back to retake. Started a club called 'Shake Yer Wig' in my second year which mixed up hip hop, funk, jazz and reggae and as Brighton was quite housey at the time the night took off. It was a great time for hip hop. Fresh tunes every week that are now classics...Tribe, Busta, Premier, Jeru, KRS One etc played alongside the original breaks. Carried on doing nights through this time and I founded Tru Thoughts in September 1999. I am the A&R and co-owner of Tru Thoughts, Unfold and Full Thought Publishing. Fortunately I get to DJ regularly promoting the music I enjoy. My weekly radio show is called 'Unfold' which you can listen to each week or download the podcast via the Unfold page on www.tru-thoughts.co.uk or listen live on Sundays 10pm-12am on Brighton's Juice 107.2. I also record music with TM Juke under the artist name Me&You. Our debut album 'Floating Heavy' is out now. I also do a regular limited edition series of themed Mix CD's called "Brighton Treats with...." You can follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/ROBERTLUIS

Hello there!!!

Hows it going these days?

I hope all is well and good and I just wanted to let you know I've just put up a new track called ECHO so I thought you might want to have a listen. :o)
It's just the instrumental version I did not long ago but I do have a full section of vocal to arrange into this track so I'll keep you posted on the outcome! :o)

I appreciate your time and support and any comments posted.

All the very best, take care.

http://www.juno.co.uk/labels/Mukatsuku/

This is the review in DJ Magazine...

Kaleta & Akoya Afrobeat
The Spirit Of Fela Is Alive & Well
Mukatsuku Records
4/5
An explosive slice of Afrobeat from Kaleta gets the licensing thumbs up from Mukatsuku, who finally get this gem to the Fela faithful. Originally clocking in at over 14 minutes, its been chopped virtually in half to add more punch and immediacy, whilst on the flip Guynamite and label boss Nik Weston add a more contemporary boogie house twist to the original, in doing so losing none of the vitality or the 'Fela' essence.

THE DIARY (Worlds Greatest Rap Megamix)





May 29 2009 8:08 AM

THE DIARY Volume 1.5 (20 Years of the Remix)
NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD AT WWW.MUSICOFSUBSTANCE.COM!

“This CD just shows how much Chris Read knows about historic Hip Hop production techniques - Its just a shame he wasn't creating this stuff during the eras he's covering as we would probably rate the man as being up there with Paul C, Pete Rock, Premier and all! - I can't think of another Hip Hop CD I've played so much in years” (ANDY SMITH - PORTISHEAD)

"Chris continues the rap anthology concept of his super-dope 'The Diary' megamix in the shape of a remix project, re-lacing acapellas from 89-2009 with historically accurate beats. 'The Diary 1.5' serves as a great platform for Chris to showcase his ample beat-making skills whilst referencing those who've inspired him." (DJ WOODY - FORMER WORLD ITF CHAMPION)

“Wicked! The perfect companion to The Diary Mixtape. Shows an impressive knowledge of sounds from all eras.” (MR THING - FORMER WORLD DMC CHAMPION)


"Crazy! This is Rap History in the making. Chris proves his production skills on this one to the fullest. A wonderful and refreshing journey through all eras of hip hop. Double thumbs up!" (MARC HYPE - FORMER ITF CHAMPION)
Starla Records
