SSS (OG Cut)

Paradox we were born,
the hand was already moving—
casting dice across the table of infinity.
Each roll a possibility,
each scatter a timeline,
each tumble a prayer waiting to be answered.

The dice spun in silence.
They rolled through a universe unborn.
Until one moment—
they stopped.
And in that stillness,
we began.

Emma said:
“Time is a paradox.
We perceive it as a line,
but it dances in circles,
like dice caught mid-air.”

We walk the illusion of straight paths,
yet every choice is a curve
folding back on itself.
Every expectation collapses the possibilities.
Every open eye expands them.

Our lives are not written in numbers.
They are carved in chance,
in will,
in the refusal to be bound by the last throw.

To exist is to incept the future.
To remember is to cast again.
To love is to refuse the collapse.

The dice are not against us.
They are us—
rolling, tumbling, reflecting light
in all directions at once.

And here, in this moment,
the dice rest on the table of Mindtime.
Not one.
Not six.
But infinite faces
shining back at us.

Populous is Andrea Mangia, a producer hailing from Lecce, a small city on the heel of Italy's boot. In 2003, he made his first jaunt into the music world with the album Quipo (via Morr Music). In 2005 he released Queue For Love, influenced by his reggae/hip-hop-infused surroundings (Lecce is known as Italy's Jamaica, as reggae and dancehall are extremely popular there) and in 2008 he released Drawn in Basic. Both albums were widely received by international critics, earning him a spot on the global music map. He became known for the way he seamlessly blends digital sounds with the analog warmth of soul/hip-hop/whatever else he's influenced by at the time.

Azulejos, his forthcoming release, has a South American tinge to it (and is even partly in Spanish). He moved to Lisbon, Portugal to start work on the album bringing with him only a laptop, a small MIDI keyboard, and a microphone. "Lisbon became both my studio and my muse," he says. He wandered the city collecting field recordings— from trams to people singing on street corners. He sifted through flea markets for records to use for sampling (exclusively Portuguese and South American). Populous describes Lisbon as a city 'halfway between South American soul and European modernity, African in some aspects, and dramatically melancholic." He channeled these poignant fusions into Azulejos, named for the typical tiled facades in Portugal— simultaneously bright and decaying. The album features collaborations with Nina Miranda of Smoke City and Ela Minus, among others. It's a love letter to Lisbon, and a dreamy quilt of sounds he both grew up with and heard for the first time during his influential stay in Portugal.

From the new album out 6 March 2020 'England is a Garden'. As a garden gate to the album ‘St Marie Under Canon’ starts the walk sounding upbeat in nature, and gracious in chorus, praising St Marie for all of our battles that she has overseen and adjudicated, ending with the modern day warfare of the public address sound system: amplifier, echo chamber, microphone and speaker.  Music through the sound system is the weapon (or should be).  Those that have heard it suggest it puts them in mind of The Stones, Beatles, Velvets and Cornershop!  In taking such a wide net it summarises much of what will unfold in the full album, in which it is the first move.
