JW MARRIOTT PHU QUOC IS HAILED AS ONE OF THE WORLD’S TOP 100 TRAVEL EXPERIENCES

Asia’s fantastical island resort JW Marriott Phu Quoc has been chosen as one of the region’s foremost luxury resorts by readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine (US edition). Na med the fourth best resort in Asia and hailed as the 17th best resort in the world. These accolades follow a glittering array of awards and recognition since the paradisiacal Bill Bensley designed resort opened in 2017. The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards reward the very best in travel, from airlines to villas, and are seen by many as one of the most im portant accolades in the industry.

Speaking about The JW Marriott Phu Quoc’s success, General Manager Ty Collins said: “We are thrilled to have been ack nowledged by these prestigious honors and are delighted to have been awarded such a high ranking both in the Asia and worldwide category. We’re in great company in the Top 100. These awards are particularly meaningful because they are vo ted for by the distinguished readers of Conde Nast Traveler.....”

This new accolade adds to JW Marriott Phu Quoc’s long list of awards and recognition– previous wins include being selec ted as part of Travel + Leisure’s 2018 It List, Travel + Leisure’s selection of the best new and newly renovated hotels around the globe and being named the World’s Best New Resort in the 2017 edition of the World Travel Awards. The Resort’s Alice in Wonderland-inspired Chanterelle - Spa by JW has also been named World’s Best New Resort Spa in the 2017 World Spa Awards and South East Asia’s top Luxury Emerging Spa in the 2017 edition of the World Luxury Spa Awards.

Renowned for its picture-perfect white beaches and fuchsia sunsets, Phu Quoc is a secluded island paradise off the south coast of Vietnam. A whimsical property on this idyllic island’s ‘ice cream’ beach, JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay was conceptualised by celebrated architect Bill Bensley and featu res a unique, larger-than-life design based on the fictional na rrative of a mythical academy of learning, Lamarck University.

The resort is a unique paradise offering guests five-star luxury with an exceptionally creative twist at every turn, thanks to Bensley’s tall tale of Lamarck University, told throughout the resort to conjure a truly harmonious aesthetic.

JW MARRIOTT PHU QUOC IS HAILED AS ONE OF THE WORLD’S TOP 100 TRAVEL EXPERIENCES

An evolution in the architectural style, from its supposed beginnings in the 1880s through to the 1940s, ensures that resort feels like a campus of individual boutique-scale buil dings developed over time, rather than a large resort, with each modelled after an academic department. For instance, the best spot for cocktails is The Department of Chemistry; The Department of Physical Education is the place to go for sports and fitness enthusiasts; while the main hub of the re sort, Rue De Lamarck, is a bustling boulevard where bouti que shops, traditional entertainment and cafés can be found. Lining Emerald Bay, the resort’s 234 spacious and beautifully appointed rooms, suites, villas and houses all boast beautiful views across a typically verdant Vietnamese landscape and the pristine white sands of the resort's beach. Here guests can enjoy one of the ‘University’s’ extracurricular activities: snorkel among bustling coral reefs, depart on boating excur sions to get those wanderlust-inducing Vietnamese island pictures, or enjoy kayaking along the rugged coastline. For days when only a sun lounger and a good book will do there are also three pools.

The resort’s award-winning flagship spa, Chanterelle – Spa by JW, offers an unconventional guest journey that referen ces Alice in Wonderland to create an unparalleled experien ce in an imaginative space. Purported to have started life as the legendary former university’s Department of Mycology, the spa interiors play on the unique theme of mushrooms. Chanterelle – Spa by JW is replete with fungiform furni shings, hand-painted murals of flora and fauna, and framed biological illustrations of mushrooms displayed across the tall ceilings, which emphasise the fantastical surroundings. Bensley also took inspiration from the childhood fable to create a corridor of asymmetric curves and mirrors, echoing the scene where Alice falls down the rabbit hole.

PALMA DE MALLORCA, Spain, 2018 /PR Newswire/ -- Meliá Hotels International has pre sented results for the first half of 2018, showing earnings of 61.8 million euros, 7.2% higher than the same period in 2017.

Company revenues are generated in dollars in a large part of the business and the depreciation of the dollar has had a significant impact on results.

In the first quarter, high season in the American travel market, the euro lost 15% of its value against the dollar.

Excluding these exchange rate differences, total revenues remained relatively stable, showing a sli ght increase of 0.5%, and EBITDA excluding capi tal gains improved by 7.4%.

In constant currency terms, RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room) increased by 4.6% thanks to im provements in both occupancy and prices.

The Group also highlights a 109 bps improvement in the Ebitda ex-capital gains, in constant curren cy terms, and confirms its goal of 150 bps impro vement at the end of 2018.

Meliá also continues to enjoy a robust financial situation having reiterated its commitment to keeping the Net Debt/EBITDA ratio to around 2x and having reduced net debt by 13,3 million euros in the first half of the year while also lengthening debt maturity periods. Earnings Per Share (EPS) increased by 7.2% up to June.

"The first half of 2018 was positive for the travel industry, al though the international environment continues to present important challenges.

Faced with these challenges, the strength and re silience of our hotel business allows us to present positive results for the first semester, especially in constant currency terms after excluding the im pact of dollar/euro exchange rate changes which had a particularly strong impact in the first quar ter (high season in the Americas). We can confirm a positive forecast for the third quarter, and it is particularly comforting to note that growth in our Mediterranean resorts has not been affected by the recovery of destinations in North Africa and Tur key, ensuring a sustainable growth model over the coming years."

Meliá Hotels International

Gabriel Escarrer, Executive Vice President and CEO of Meliá Hotels International:

Meliá earned 61.8 million euros up to June (+7.2%) thanks to the strength of the business and expects a better third quarter than last year ,,

The Group has also published a new asset valuation showing a Global Net Asset Value of 4.386Mn€ (+23,2% versus June 2015's asset valuation)

The Company expects healthy growth in Mediterranean resorts in the summer season, compatible with the reco very of Turkey and North African destinations

The Company remains committed to Spain, with 3 new hotels open up to June in Sitges, Estepona and Calvià.

Business performance:

Net Profit increased by 7.2% to €61.8Mn despite the de preciation of the dollar against the euro

In constant currency terms, revenues (+0.5%) remained stable in spite of the repositioning process and temporary closure of Puerto Rico after the hurricane

In constant currency terms, EBITDA excluding capital gains grew by 7.4% and global RevPAR by 4.6%

The MeliaPro B2B platform has grown by over 50% in 3 years

Excellent response to the revolutionary hotel concept at The Plaza by Meliá (Magaluf)

Financial management:

Net debt reduced by €13,3Mn in the first semester to €580,4Mn, confirming the commitment to a leverage ratio (Net Debt / EBITDA) of 2x

The Company further reduced financial expenses thanks to a reduction in the average gross debt, decrease in avera ge interest rates (3.2% versus 3.3% in H1 2017) and leng thening of debt maturities

Asset valuation:

New asset valuation places total Net Asset Value (GAV) at 4.386Mn€, an increase of 23,2% Net Asset Value per share (NAV) increased by 21,3% com pared to June 2015

Expansion strategy:

Meliá signed up 10 new hotels in 2018

Up to June, the Company opened 11 hotels, and will open 12 more until the end of 2018

The growth pipeline currently includes 63 hotels with 16,000 rooms

Third quarter forecasts:

Positive evolution is expected in the third quarter, the strongest period for the Group

Meliá has already seen a 4.7% increase in advance sales for the third quarter and expects to improve 2017 figures in Spanish resorts

Expected improvement in margins due to greater efficien cy, the contribution of newly launched hotels and stronger positioning in the Premium segment

The basis for this resilience is the strength of Meliá's un derlying hotel business, which continues to grow the por tfolio of hotels through consistent international expansion focused on luxury and upscale hotels in the most dynamic markets in line with the Company's Strategic Plan. Grow th is being achieved through low capital intensive formu las, allow greater agility and lower leverage and generating important returns for owners and shareholders. Meliá has signed up 10 hotels until June, all of them under manage ment contracts, and plans to open 12 more managed ho tels before the end of 2018, except for the Gran Reserve at Paradisus Palma Real -which is an owned property- .

In line with brand strategy, Meliá also continues to reposi tion hotels, and has now renovated and repositioned more than two thirds of its portfolio, investing more than 600 million euros with partners over the last 6 years in Spain, and generating extraordinary results in terms of positio ning and profitability. Another objective of the Company's strategy is to achieve excellence in the MICE segment (Meetings, Incentives, Congresses and Events). This was strongly reinforced by the opening of the Palma Conven tion Centre and adjoining hotel Meliá Palma Bay in 2017. After a very positive performance in its first year, excee ding the goal with 9,4 Mn€ Revenue, the new Convention complex has already made Palma a key destination for Spanish and international congresses and events.

Positive news for the semester also includes the excellent market response to the latest Company development in Magaluf, The Plaza by Meliá, which is the final piece in the jigsaw of the extensive renovation and repositioning carried out by the Company in the destination. The pro ject has changed the dynamics and tourist development model in Magaluf, laying the foundations for superior quality, profitable and sustainable tourism in a destination where Meliá holds a dominant position with more than 3,800 owned rooms. In its first month of operation, the new hotel has exceeded financial objectives and become a "positively disruptive" force for the destination.

Digital leadership

As an essential part of its strategy and cultural change, Meliá is focused on a profound transformation and adap tation to the digital environment in the industry and has become one of the most active and pioneering compa nies on the international stage. The Group is using digital tools and technologies such as Big Data and Artificial In telligence to drive greater efficiency while also enhancing processes and developing its people and talent. Meliá has also been named one of the most influential hotel chains in social networks, a fundamental driver of digital suc cess.

The Company expects to end 2018 with 70% of its sales through digital channels, of which a significant part co mes through the direct B2C channel, melia.com, which has increased sales by almost 100% over the last three years from 337 million euros in 2016 to over 600 million forecast for this year.

The Company has also made a major commitment to its B2B channel, MeliaPro, created to enhance and optimise digital relationships with key business partners such as travel agencies in the Digital environment. Results have been extremely satisfactory with sales through MeliaPro estimated to see growth of more than 50% between 2016 and 2018.

Results by Region - First Semester

AMERICAS

- 4,6% in Euros

+ 6,4% in USD RevPAR

(+) Positive contribution of hotel launches: Paradisus Los Cabos, Innside New York Nomad and ME Miami, despite the impact of the depreciation of the dollar

(+) The Caribbean (Mexico, Dominican Republic and Ja maica) see important growth

(-) Negative impact of Venezuela and hurricanes in Puer to Rico

Outlook Q3: Expected to improve on results for the pre vious year, strongly affected by hurricanes Irma and Ma ría.

EMEA

+0.4% RevPAR

(+) France recorded the strongest growth (+21.7% in Re vPAR) followed by Italy (11%) and other markets.

(-) Slight decrease in RevPAR in UK due to the Pound depreciation and in Germany, where the absence of some trade fairs and the bankruptcy of Air Berlin neutralised the strong performance of newly launched hotels.

Outlook Q3: positive expectations in all markets thanks to the economic situation and political stability supported by new sales campaigns.

MEDITERRANEAN

+ 4.2% RevPAR

(+) Strong demand in Spain despite Easter falling in March, the weather which penalised the second quarter and the recovery of competing destinations such as Tuni sia and Turkey, with the best results in the Balearic Islands (+5.5%)

(+) ME Sitges Terramar, Sol Marbella Estepona-Atalaya Park and Calvià Beach The Plaza, new and successful ho tel additions.

(+) Cabo Verde sees a positive performance.

Outlook Q3: High season in Spain and 4.1% sales growth in advance bookings compared to 2017 (60% attributable to occupancy and 40% price). The recovery of alternative destinations in the tour operator segment is compensated by higher demand through melia.com and OTAs in Spa nish destinations.

SPAIN + 8.1% RevPAR

(+) Significant improvements in results throughout the country thanks to the recovery of group and individual corporate travellers and the strong contribution of recent ly repositioned hotels.

Outlook Q3: positive forecast for Madrid hotels with in creases in demand from both leisure and MICE segments expected to compensate poorer results in Barcelona, whe re prices continue to fall despite the occupation's resilien ce, regrettably showing a trend toward a tourist model of lower quality.

CUBA - 4,6% RevPAR

General reduction of RevPAR due to the combination of numerous factors:

(-) Delay in the resumption of sales by some tour operators after the 2017 hurricanes

(-) Reduction of US visitors to the three hotels in Havana due to US Government restrictions and lower flight capa city after the bankruptcy of Air Berlin

Outlook Q3: The Company sees a change in trends and market perception once the situation in the island has been fully normalised after the hurricanes of last year, in which the Company is closely collaborating with the Cuban au thorities. The new hotels the Company will open this year: Meliá Internacional, Paradisus Los Cayos and Meliá San Carlos, will further strengthen the leadership of Meliá and the image of Cuba as a safe and renovated top international destination.

ASIA PACIFIC

- 4,6% RevPAR

(+) RevPAR increased by 18,3% on a like-for-like basis, but global RevPAR is affected in the short term by the ne gative impact caused by the large number of newly laun ched hotels that have yet to get up to full speed to make a strong contribution

(+) melia.com increased sales by 47.5% in the second quarter

Outlook Q3: Positive evolution expected in what is high season for the region thanks to robust market dynamics. A special contribution is expected from China and Bali, as well as the consolidation of Vietnam as a key market where Meliá will become one of the leading international hotel operators after the opening of new hotels in Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi and Ha Long.

New asset valuation

We have published the results of the new valuation of our property assets, which has been prepared by JLL, the lea ding independent appraiser of the market. In this sense, the GAV (Gross Asset Value) increased + 23.2% compared to the valuation of June 2015, to € 4,386Bn.

Within this value, € 3,758Bn are included referring to pro perty assets that consolidate globally, and € 628Mn do so through the equity method. However, it must be said that the value of the latter is an estimate, since the valuation is being carried out at present and will not be ready until the end of September.

On the other hand, updated NAV (Net Asset Value) per share is € 15.2 per share, which compares with € 12.5 the last valuation of June 2015 and therefore implies an increa se of + 21.3%.

International growth

Internationalization is one of Meliá Hotels International's most relevant strengths, with a current Group pipeline (hotel agreements signed and in the process of incorpora tion) that comprises 63 hotels with 16,000 rooms (85.3% of them under management agreements).

Up to June, the Company has signed 10 new hotels in Vietnam, Thailand, China, Portugal, Dubai, Morocco and Montenegro, all of them under management formu las. Over the same period, Meliá has opened 11 hotels, in Cuba, Spain, Vietnam, Dubai and Portugal.

Another 12 hotels are scheduled to open by the end of 2018 in Cuba, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Montenegro, and Mozambique, all of them also under management contracts, except for the Grand Reser ve at Paradisus Palma Real (Dominican Republic), which is an owned property.

IN 2018, the Company's growth will be focused mainly on three regions: the Caribbean, with 9 hotels to be opened ( 7 in Cuba, 1 in Peru and 1 in Dominican Republic), Asia-Pa cific with 7 hotels (4 in Vietnam, 2 in China and 1 in In donesia), and Spain, where the Group has already opened three resorts.

Responsible business

Meliá Hotels International also reports the most important progress made in terms of corporate responsibility in Envi ronmental, Social and Corporate Governance issues.

Environmental Commitment:

The Group has been actively combating climate change for more than 10 years, increasing energy and water efficiency and securing 100% of energy from renewable sources in countries such as Spain and Italy.

Since the approval of the Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations in 2015, Meliá has prioritized the goals that are best aligned with its business activity to make them an integral part of Company strategy. This mostly affects the availability and responsible management of wa ter, guaranteeing access to safe, sustainable and modern energy sources, promoting sustainable infrastructures and communities, contributing to a sustainable production and consumption model, and adopting measures to com bat climate change and its effects.

The objectives that Meliá has defined for itself up to 2020 include reducing water use per stay by 8%, achieving 70% green energy use, sustainability certification for 52% of hotels, generalizing sustainability clauses and codes in agreements and relationships with suppliers, ensuring 90% of suppliers are local, and reducing CO2 emissions by 18.4% per stay. In particular, Meliá has announced that it will completely eliminate single-use plastic in all of its hotels and corporate offices throughout 2018.

Social commitment:

As a leading company in a key industry which is very la bour-intensive, Meliá focuses on:

.- Helping achieve the highest degree of quality and pro fessionalism in the industry by supporting and coopera ting with universities and tourism and business schools.

.- Promoting employability and training for people at risk of social exclusion, working with important partners such as the "First professional experience" project with the Pi nardi Foundation and the "Incorpora" programme with the La Caixa Foundation.

.- Supporting diversity and equal opportunities, where an example can be found in the fact that 65% of Revenue Ma nagers are now female, and the increasing proportion of women in the Managers' pool talent of the Company.

.- Contributing to protecting children by renewing the alliance with UNICEF and committing to raising at least €400,000 every year for the organisation, among other ac tions and programmes.

Corporate governance: In terms of governance, the Company highlights the pu blication of a new integrated report for 2017 including a stronger materiality analysis with greater transparency, in formation and visibility for its different stakeholders, plus the publication of new corporate policies, such as those on human rights, privacy or control.

Meliá also highlights the approval of its first Supplier Code of Ethics, together with a new Responsible Procurement policy.

NICOLAZA QUE PASA

Nicolaza Que Pasa

MEXICOLA GROUP’S NICOLAZA QUE PASA

Originally from Mexico, Nicolaza was born with a writer’s curiosity and a desire to travel. She left her hometown of Guadalajara at age 19, moving to Playa Del Carmen, part of The Mayan Riviera. At the time, this place was one of the most glamorous and fun party destinations for the rich and famous. Nicolaza worked for Grupo Habita, one of Mexico’s leading hospitality organizations and it was whilst there that she met people from all over the world. Many job opportunities came up, in the United States and Europe, but they weren’t quite the tropical paradise she was aiming for. Then life presented her with the GREA TEST opportunity, in what she called ‘the promised land’ – Australia. It was there that she lived happily for 9 years and built her first Mexican restaurant, ROJO ROCKET.

In 2006, while she was living in Australia, Nicolaza came to Bali for the first time along with her business partner, Australian native Adrian Reed, looking for adventure, parties on the beach, good vibes and spicy food. She was missing the vibrancy of Mexican resort life – the exube rance, the joy and the dancing on tables, so Adrian sug gested she celebrate a birthday by partying in Bali and she fell instantly in love with the island. When the opportu nity arose to move there and be a part of Motel Mexicola, she grabbed it with both hands.

“Motel Mexicola started as a crazy mission,” says Nicolaza Que Pasa. “We wanted to create a place with no off-sea son, that would be like a forever summer, 7 days a week, all year round.

We created a beautiful, wild piece of Mexico that has ne ver lost its energy. For me, Tropicola is an extension of that energy, just that without a nationality, it is somewhere you know and that feels just right… We want our clients and friends to experience THAT memory of an amazing tropical place… Tropicola, is what it felt like…  Tropico la is customized for everybody that wants to have fun… Beautiful clean lines and bright colours of 80’s inspired pool clubs.

It is this heartfelt and infectious dedication to crea ting a happy and fun atmosphere that infuses Nicolaza’s approach to business. She believes strongly in the spirit of an establishment and that the happiness and wellbeing of the people who work there. If they are having fun, that energy transfuses into every aspect of the place and guests are swept up in it. One of the fundamental aspects of Bali that she originally fell in love with is the friendly enthu siasm of the people and their ready smiles, and this is what makes the island so perfect for creating places where people can come to relax and seek happiness.

“Bali is an island where the minute you land, you start to relax,” continued Nicolaza. “Everything is centred around being relaxed, which I think is great. I see hard working people from New York, Melbourne or Perth come for their quiet time and to unwind. But I also think that once peo ple feel relaxed and less stressed then they want to have some fun and let their hair down!. Seminyak is turning into this bubble of fun. I think that is the future of Bali –fun!”

Nicolaza Que Pasa is part of the dynamic team behind Bali institutions Motel Mexicola, Da Maria, Luigi’s Hot Pi zza and most recently, Tropicola, the island’s coolest new beach club.

Will Meyrick and Ben McRae are hosting events with other culinary stars from around the region for 2019.

As they say: “to embrace the future you must learn from the past”

Before they had to travel, Hmong tribes, a long time ago, led to the pickling, brining, and fermenting of a vast array of meats and vegetables in the name of preservation. Many of these techniques and ingredients remain essentially unchanged to this day.

This is why Som Chai is embarking on a different journey taking its grassroots of fun damental techniques of cooking with locally sourced, found and foraged ingredients taking you back to nature and traditional ways of cooking, featuring recipes from Will Meyrick travels collaborating chefs from around south East Asian

Everlasting passion starting in 1998 that he keeps by going there as often as he can. These stories and recipes are testifying the importance of preserving people and the culture.

Chef's Table dinners will be recurring events happening in Som Chai, under the in fluence of Will Meyrick. Menus will range from 5-7 courses that will change based on the ethnic tribes around Asia.

Special collaboration with David Metcalf

For the first dinner, on December 8th, Som Chai will focus on Hmong Hill Tribes. Will Meyrick and Dave Metcalf spent two weeks in North Vietnam in September 2018, vi siting the Hmong Hill Tribes, travelling around the villages and markets sampling the delicious food, photographing the people and stunning landscapes.

Supporting Ethnic Communities

The proceeds of the dinner and 50% of the photographs sold will go to supporting impo verished ethnic communities around the region.

Join us for an evening to support this important project, fusing food and photography which shows you how cultures have come together and shaped one another.

THE HOTELIER AWARDS ASIA & SOUTH ASIA 2019

Applications are now open for the 2019 Asia & South Asia competition

The Hotelier Awards, the region’s lea ding independent awards platform re cognising the finest talents in the hotel industry, is now accepting applications for Asia.

The awards has grown in prominen ce and scope since its launch in 2014, both in the number of applications re ceived and also in the level of support from the industry, so much so that the platform has expanded yet again.

Continuing its mission to seek out the leading lights of the hospitality sec tor, the 2019 edition of The Hotelier Awards will cover the South Asia re gion for the first time ever, welcoming applicants from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

These eligible countries will be an ad dition to Brunei, Cambodia, Indone sia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.

The bi-annual rendezvous is an over due gathering of appreciation, with a mission to not only shine a light on the most talented of hoteliers, but to also inspire the younger generations to pursue a career in hospitality. Being the only accolade of its kind in Asia, the platform is unique and indepen dently run, with a focus on the indivi duals rather than the hotel properties themselves.

Hotels put forward their finest team members from General Managers, to front line staff who are the best in their field and often fly under the radar or shy away from the limelight.

ABOUT LATE NITE TUFF GUY

Since exploding onto the scene a few years ago, Late Nite Tuff Guy has forged a po sition as one of the most in-demand and best-loved DJ/producers on the planet, with Greg Wilson rightly referring to him as “a leading light of the global re-edits movement.”

A superhero of soul, a destroyer of dance floors and a purveyor of the smoothest sounds this side of 1977, LNTG is synony mous with the sexiest of sets and the most credible of disco edits, and has amassed legions of devoted fans from every corner of the globe.

With a boy in every port and girls in every club, crowds in Berlin, London, Melbour ne, Glasgow, Paris, Dublin and beyond have all succumbed to his spell.

He’s also a highly sought after producer for some of the world’s biggest artists and most iconic record labels, and has com pleted official remixes for the likes of New Order, Herb Alpert and Timmy Thomas.

LNTG’s edits and sets have received se rious acclaim from an illustrious roll call of heads in the know, including Todd Ter je, Ellen Alien, Steve Lawler, Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli, Jackmaster and Optimo, and his production skills have seen him become an online sensation, receiving over eight million plays (and counting) on Sound Cloud.

After being approached by iconic and world famous record label ‘Salsoul’ his LNTG EP was released April 21st 2018 to coincide with Record Store Day interna tionally.

But while he is bossing all things digital, it’s the clubs and festivals where his heart is at, playing to the people that know and love him and winning over new fans.

Aside from his usual DJ sets, he has been channelling his obsession with Prince into a series of extremely popular tribu te shows, proving that he’s one of the few people on the planet who can do Prince’s discography justice.

June 2018 saw his inaugural American tour as he headed to the home of disco and he will return to the US in 2019.

Playing everywhere from the Berghain to Bestival, and with influences ranging from Mancuso to Toto, Late Nite Tuff Guy is a new breed of disco vigilante, paying his respects to the past while thrilling the clu bbers of today.

It is only right that Greg Wilson has the last word: “The quality and consistency of Late Nite Tuff Guy’s work has elevated him to the vanguard – he has the knack of picking the right tracks to reinterpret, and his output of essential reworkings has been prolific.”
