Pugs Atomz | Nouveau Casino
The first show I ever did in France was in Paris at the Nouveau Casino back in 2003. I had no Idea what to expect as kid from Englewood, my friend Thaione Davis had invited me for the trip. You always imagine the best case and worst case scenarios as a independent artist pushing your music.
I was left in disbelief,they gave us 45 minutes with a sold out crowd to do what we do best, and from that moment I found myself stronger and ready for anything. In this EP I wanted to capture those feeings of excitement, discovering new people and new places.
Production was handled by French producers Mr. Bibal, Wax Mantic. Also my long time comrade DJ Vadim go busy on a few tunes. Enjoy!!!!!!
