I came to realise that many of my favorite 12's on both Rockers and Hungry Town label are credited to the producer called Everton Da Silva.

I know everyone is familiar with his name, but I'm curious to know more about the man... i.e. where he hail from, when did he start in the business, what was his relations with pablo, and maybe get to know some more of his works...

All info and knowledge shared on this producer highly appreciated.

Blessings,

He came from New York.. Murdered in 78/79..

Here's the only picture of him I have ever seen:
