Monaco died down, I think that was in December. Then we moved to Stars in March 2009. It blew up, it was crazy! I remember we did the Sista Betina show and it was sold-out; we also did the Euphonik show and that too was crazy! We did a show with the reggae DJ from the UK, Chris Goldfinger, it was a killer show. With the way that clubs work, we had a disagreement with the club owner of Stars, so we then moved, and opened up Fusion by the racecourse. Wow, that was magical, in 2010! I think that Fusion for me, was a club that I totally enjoyed, and it was totally rewarding. At the time that we did Fusion , it was the time that we were doing Café Noir. And then from Fusion, , P Styles and I did something that’s not common with other DJs, and we bought the business of Lime Bar, and it was almost similar to Fusion, which was really cool! During our time at Fusion in 2010, we had the privilege of doing that whole hip-hop gig with Ciara, Lil Kim, 80 Fat Joe; unfortunately Timbaland couldn’t make it because he had issues with his plane; but his whole crew was here, even his kids were here. That was the highlight of my career. The other highlights were doing Brick ‘n’ Lace at Fusion, which turned out to be a massive show and one of the only profitable international gigs. We then did the Sean Paul and Akon after party. That was remarkable because it ended at eight in the morning and then we also did the ZAR Fest, that was a big hit in my career. Then we did Lime; from Lime we did Room 10. I can’t remember the dates though, but we were there for a month or so, as we were renovating club Mambo into La Vida, and then from La Vida, ZiFM came to play. We were recruited to do the hip-hop show on a Friday called “The Fixx” on ZiFM Stereo. Massive Groove Magazine Zimbabwe opportunity! As I mentioned earlier that my heroes in music were on radio, I felt so cool to be on radio. So with the commitments of radio, it’s kind of hard to balance and that slowed down our Fridays because our strongest days day have always been Friday. Before, we always managed to cater for people after work, actually they would spend quite a lot of money on Fridays! But, ZiFM has opened massive opportunities, like when I started playing in Mutare, which I had done before; but it’s different with a radio station to back you up. We have gigs in Bulawayo and every time we go to Bulawayo we have killer shows. Actually Bulawayo is my favorite city in Zimbabwe. People in Bulawayo when they come out, they come to have fun and not floss. And
