"we tried to pick music that is seldomly played, but highly regarded by critics, music lovers, audiophiles and ethnomusicologists alike ... there was NO WAY that we could stay within one genre or stylistic approach."
"we sincerely hope you recognize a few of the titles ... but, at least on some of these songs, as soon as we hit the groove you'll remember them. some of them you will want to dance to, some you will want to listen to, some you will want to sing along to, some may be totally unfamiliar to you as well ... we try to challenge our audience at points during the show."
"with as much respect as admiration, we chose the music we present with the utmost love and care." - THE AFFILIATES // 2009
