Egon, specialist in international digging, owner and manager of Now-Again Records, Madlib's manager, casual DJ, heavy collector, is also a writer. Of course, he writes about records and digging.
He owns a spot on NPR, dedicated to what he calls "Funk Archeology". Basically, it's about digging groovy records all across the world, and acknowledging the musical history and inheritance of the most neglected countries.
Sometimes, based on what Egon writes, you can guess what Now-Again's next releases will be.
The latest article is about Houston jazz scene of the 1970's, and especially Bubbha Thomas and the Youthful Musicians Summer Program, that Egon discovered through the Kashmere Stage Band, a band that already enjoyed reissues on Now-Again.
