Soulspinnas

A blog by Soulspinnas. We've been playing music in and around our hometown for a while now and have played with some big names of the house music scene. But we would like to expand our interests and share it with as many people as possible. So through this blog we'll keep you posted on things we like, particularly music but also a lot of other stuff. No boundaries. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride! http://www.soulspinnas.com Soundcloud Twitter Facebook Myspace RSS var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-19925797-2']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
