Its a Funny World

A remix of Samotar made by slovak hiphop legend Vec, featuring Juraj Benetin. The music and lyrics vibed with me so much I had to ask him for a remix. For nonslovaks - the tune is confession of a Loner. I wouldn't do the tune justice trying to translate it but I hope you get it from the vibe.

Dub Fx - Back 2 Basics (James Marvel & Hypoxia Remix)

Being a production line of carefully crafted composition with a meticulous production standard, Calyx & Teebee have delivered yet again. And after dominating the Beatport Top 100 with their most recent single ‘A Day That Never Comes / Snakes & Ladders’, they won’t be applying the brakes anytime soon, especially in the lead up to their greatly anticipated second album on the Ram imprint.

Back on vocal duties, Calyx demonstrates the pair’s multi-dimensional approach to beat making. With plucky percussion relaying you through bouncing subs and a drivingly solid bassline, it defines their vast repertoire of style. They’re not scared to dip into unfamiliar territories, with Calyx’s cool vocals sitting on top of lulling guitar rhythms to provide the first part of a diverse and brilliantly crafted record. 

‘Sawn Off’ rolls out next; it’s a grittier track than its predecessor, with a conundrum of hi-hats and aggressive drum patterns. Pounding pads take you towards a colossal break, heighten by the effect of a cleverly placed sample. The track ricochets throughout, not losing momentum or impact, with an intricately weaved structure, one only achievable by a team who’ve been running the game for decades.  

With an album laying just out of reach, each single is bringing us closer and closer to the inevitable. All four tracks prove they’re still a formidable force to be reckoned with; this LP will only emphasise that fact.

Jan Werich is one of the great czech artists. We need people of this kind these days, when people seem to turn to hate, intolerance and radicals. I dared to sample his speech to spread his message once again. 

The words translated:

You know I didn't wear out many shoes on my way to the church, and my trousers are not worn above my knees from kneeling.
But I always believed in one thing, that the god made us equal, one is white, one black. One beautiful like you, and me.
Or dotted from the pox. But we are all cold when it's freezing out there, and we all sweat when the sun is scorching.
And we all need to breathe, so we don't suffocate. One day we'll be all driven away.. in other words, we are all mortal. And immortal. But for this, we can't make slaves from one another, because of this everyone should have the same opportunity to live a full life, nevermind if his father was a president or a tinker. Noone should ever think he is something more or better than others. Maybe he is smarter, maybe he wears better shirt. But this only commits him, to do something for those with worse shirt, or smaller biceps. 

The whole secret is in liking people.

But only people who like other people can believe in this. To like people and to love them, that is the whole secret and the only recipe for happiness, and that counts for everyone. 
Sometimes I think we did a big mistake when we left only poets and camp speakers to talk about freedom. Poets don't define things very clearly, and camp speakers even more so. We should let teachers speak about freedom. And we should teach them that freedom is not just a poetic call for wings. We should teach them the difference between the true freedom and anarchy. You don't really know how big thing it is, when you can write and teach what you believe in.

People only value things fully, when they loose them for a while. It's the same with freedom as anything else. 
To like people, and to love them, that is the whole secret, and the only recipe for happiness.

Past Lessons For The Future (Ft Jan Werich) (Radiohlavy VIP)

State Of Mind - Sun King

The first two singles taken from Calyx & TeeBee’s forthcoming album ‘All Or Nothing’ have been heavily supported by tastemakers across the board. Lining up to drop them are Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe and Annie Mac,  UK #1 artists DJ Fresh and Rudimental, Example’s touring partner DJ Wire and scene stalwarts TC and Matrix & Futurebound, to name but a few. And now the duo is ready to unleash the third single from ‘All Or Nothing’, an incredible slice of D&B funk featuring the vocal talents of Kemo.

Marrying influences from hip hop, funk and mid-‘90s drum & bass, Calyx & TeeBee offer up a distinctly different track that tugs on feelings of nostalgia while pushing the envelope forward. ‘Pure Gold’ is effortlessly fresh, oozing with bouncing hip hop, double bass funk and D&B energy this track will undoubtedly sound great from the car to the club, across radio waves and dance floors alike.

Wilkinson steps up for the first remix of the package, keeping the orchestral provenance suggested by the intro of the original and rolling it out into a booming, winding bass monster. This is drumstep at its finest, resisting the urge to throw in a million random bleeps, Wilkinson instead infuses ‘Pure Gold’ with his own unique style and creates an absolute killer of a remix in the process.

Next up Hostage takes ‘Pure Gold’ into serious bouncing house territory. As the punchy drums are punctuated by that infamous horn sample you’re pulled slowly and gently in. Before long Hostage places precision cuts of Kemo’s vocal and the infectious bass loop into the mix along with some carnival snares that ensure this is one of the most infectious 4/4 tracks you’re likely to hear all year.

Rounding the digital package off Calyx & TeeBee offer up their own track ‘Perspectives’, a sure-fire slice of D&B that’s sure to keep the heads happy. Relentless bass and expertly chosen sound FX all combine with rolling percussion and stunning production to create a perfect dance floor roller.
