Full Crate & Mar (Amsterdam) return to The Main Ingredient June 19th!

Amsterdam’s finest return to The Main Ingredient, almost exactly two years after their last visit (listen to the June 1, 2010 archive). They’re in the midst of a summer tour and I’m glad to catch them while they’re in NYC. You can stay updated on their tour through the tour Facebook page.

Both were also recently featured (on vocals and remix duties) on Anthony Valadez‘s lead single from his Just Visiting LP which was released on the 5th on Plug Research.

And last but not least, rumor has it they will be coming out with a full length debut album by the end of the year.
More Info: Full Crate, Mar, Mar Variations
