Mr. Michael 'Clip' Payne offered us a licensing deal in the US!
Promotion will start soon as his label will be attending MIDEM,
a music networking marketplace in Cannes, France.
Promotion in the US will mostly be aimed at college Radio, and a visit
to the States is on the agenda. Upon asking him whether we should
remaster our tracks for the US market he responded ' Naaaah... people
out here are already dancing to your sh*t .'
