Can't Get Enough Love




This week's spotlight is focused on a Hip Hop icon, but not an artist this time. Instead we pay tribute to Sarah Love, a woman that has proved herself to be what many (regrettably, myself included) claim to be but aren't - a real DJ. Not, like me, merely someone who plays tunes but a skilled technician on the decks and a shrewd selector of Hip Hop.

For reasons beyond my limited comprehension BBC 1Xtra have ousted her from her Friday night/Saturday morning Hip Hop Mix Show. This was a staple for many heads around the world and will be sorely missed. However, fans won't have to go without our fix for too long as Sarah Love is relocating to the US where she'll continue her good work.


If you just can't wait, you can always catch up with her on Twitter and visit her MySpace and Facebook pages. Alternatively, and probably the best place to keep up with what Sarah Love is doing is her own blog.



I'll be back on the artists next week but I thought it was only right that Sarah Love got the salute this week. I wish her continued success in all her endeavours.
