DJ Matthew Africa Plays Seven Inches
My heart goes out to his friends and family. I've downloaded nearly every song he's shared on his blog. Wish I could've met the man in person.
Does anybody have a DL of Soul Boulders they can share? My CD is in storage. Might be emotionally difficult to listen to right now, but I'd like to revisit it at some point.

This hurts.
My brother, Matthew Africa, was killed in a car accident on Monday afternoon. He and his beloved wife, Ha Le, were returning from a trip to Yosemite when their car collided with a big rig on a highway near Modesto. They tell us he died instantly; miraculously, she survived with multiple fractures. His absence is unbearable. Please keep our families in your thoughts and prayers. Details regarding a memorial service will be posted later. #thereisalightanditnevergoesout
This hurts.
I don't know what to say. This hurts so much. Matthew was an idol to me when I was a young kid listening to KALX and trying to figure out rap music and records. Years later, as adults, I had the pleasure to learn that he was the coolest dude you could hope to meet and most generous with his knowledge, which was massive. I'm sitting here in my shop, the thing through which I was able to give a little back to Matthew by hipping him to some new records, I'm trying to let these dudes shop and whatever and all I want to do is go home and cry. Fuck this shit.
i cant stop crying. huge huge loss. i cant even imagin what his inner circle is going through but i hope for all the strength in the world for them as they push through.
i had plans of working on some shed of his and spending time with him inthe bay and talking about mid life direction things that we kept saying we'd talk about in person rather than on line and now all i can do is imagine is how wonderful that would have been. i recently bought a stack of soul boulders 1 n 2 and have been giving them to friends out here for birthdays. dont know how im going to ever be able to listen to that cd without crying
big hugs and love to all his bay area family on here and sklute and cosmo and everyone. the world really got robbed on this one.

Yeah man. I've known Matthew since the our days at KALX in the mid-90s. He was someone who initially intimidated me until I got to know him as this incredibly warm, knowledgable and funny dude. GENUINE through and through. This is devastating and I only found out about 5 minutes ago. I'm still processing.
