just a little bit. "darkhorse" is graham seamen. He use to be a partner
with Jon WIlliams for Natural Music, But Jon and Graham "have their
differences" now and have moved onto their seperate ways. Jon of course
has his cool techno label, Organized Noise, while Graham has started his
360 label.

I remember chilling at the Natural Music house one weekend i was visting
in San Fran and Graham had played me and my friends some tracks that he
had been working on. We kept on saying,"when are they comin' out?" Just
really good downtempo dub/dark hop. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the
records at all in boston. But Darkhorse always spins around the San Fran
area parties of eclectic quality. If any idm/downtempo/ninjatune like
stuff comes to town, he is usually playing or has something to do with the
gig. Nice guy, fat tracks. Yet another Brit making stakes in the U.S.

He knows "what's'up".
