"My friend's name is Shane and his car is a 2007 Suzuki Swift and the jeep I had was a 2002 Ford Escape. Both cars were both set up by The 187 Boyz which is the name of my crew...." DJ Outkast.

Funding for this project was provided by the Prince Claus Fund of Holland.

 

 

Music in the Caribbean has been predominantly about language—the "language-ing" of things, of giving shape to the space we inhabit both mentally and physically. It’s a kind of oral history that keeps shifting to remain alive and open. I wanted to see how to translate that into visual terms. I used to get underground DJ mixes in Port of Spain by the Down Town Outlaws, Papa Rocky, Chinese Laundry and Dr. Hyde consisting mostly of Jamaican mixes of Dancehall. The mix, the way things were put together, influenced me.
