Recent replacements have included Damon Albarn who debuted new material from Gorillaz and wisely waxed lyrical about this gem, Omar Souleyman – Leh Jani, check the video opposite.
The album Highway To Hassake album on Sublime Frequencies label.
Gorillaz will apparently be taking a middle-eastern field trip in March and they’ll be hot on the heals of London based hip hop producer Valhalla – who spent most of last year collecting samples in Syria for his forthcoming album.

Pete Bolton is 21 and originally from Leeds. He has a laddish appeal with the cheekiest of smiles that Ben Weller was quick to capture in editorials for Dansk and Qvest Magazine. His sporty physique is a result of a combination of time spent as ski instructor training and playing the drums. He has become a firm favourite for the denim brands Levi’s and G-star appearing in shows in NY and Barcelona. He has currently just finished a great season in Milan walking for brands including Alexander McQueen.
