Stilts Artwork

Afternoon all!

For those of you who are regulars the site you may have seen some changes in the Artists section courtesy of the infinitely talented Stilts.

Matt Brown aka Stilts is a Guildford (UK) based illustrator / DJ who has designed artwork for artists including Jazz T, Kashmere and DJ Cro to name but a few.

This time round he has created 5 caricatures of the key Street Soul artists:
Vice
REP
Halo
Venom
d. C.

including a group picture.

Slowly but surely the new images are being incorporated into the site, including some updated bios for the artists.

Stay tuned for more info, and also look out for Stilts in the coming months in the Basement Sessions roster.
Peace and blessings
