| See the Light Feel the Heat re-released |
| See the Light/Feel the Heat was written and produced by Elliot Sokolov & Jack Waldman, aka Air Force One. The record was mixed by Arthur Baker, edited by the Latin Rascals, and released on Streetwise Records in 1984. It was one of the first records featuring an entirely sampled vocal (by President Ronald Reagan). "See the Light/Feel the Heat" by Air Force One has been re-released on 2 new compilation CDs, "ESSENTIAL HOUSE" (released summer 2007) and "80's UNDERGROUND CLUB HITS" (released fall 2006) by Moist Music. A college/alternative radio and club favorite for years after its release, the original Streetwise Records 12 inch vinyl single is now a collectors item, often available on various sites. These re-releases comes more than 20 years after it's original 12 inch single release on Streetwise Records. The re-release is the b-side (dub version) of the original 12 inch single. |

| UNHCR spots with Khaled Hosseini |
| Elliot has recently provided music for 2 PSA's which can be seen on the web. The spots, produced by Wildlight Productions, feature Khaled Hosseini, author of the internationally best-selling novel "The Kite Runner", and who is now an envoy for the UN Refugee Agency. Earlier this year, Hosseini visited UNHCR camps in eastern Chad where some 240,000 refugees from Darfur are sheltered. The trip was the result of his desire to see first-hand one of UNHCRs most complex operations and to bring wider attention to the Darfur crisis. You can see one of the spots at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rBEztz0YDg |
