Greyboy: Shades of Grey

Read "Shades of Grey" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki


The cover of this new set reads: “This recording is a live, raw, unfiltered DJ session by DJ Greyboy and contains many rarities and exclusive mixes."

Freestylin’ is most probably acid-jazz. Though, I fear, some of its more soft and somber moments are most likely closer ...
