The man behind hits such as ‘Boogie Monster’, ‘Witch Doctor’ and ‘The Funk Phenomena’ brings it again with his latest single from Ghettoblaster, ‘NYC Beat’. This track is doing huge things in the dance music scene and now gets the visual rub down with a video featuring (surprise surprise) hot chicks dancing and some other off the wall snipets…

Does it seem that there is just a million different labels getting off
the ground in recent time? Well, you can add one more to that ever
growing list, only this one has a very good pedigree behind it in Sandy
