Back in 1996 I had a show on Radio Static, a cable radio station in Amsterdam. I don't know who ever listened, I got a call here and there now and again. But I would basically just partake in coffee shop favors and hit the studio at I think 1 am on Saturday nights and play whatever I wanted to. Nothing's changed as they say. On this particular show I could describe it in a manner, similar to the opening lines of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. 

On this particular day, one of my best friends in the world ever, Flavia Roncelli and I went all over Amsterdam to buy about 30 peppers to have a stuffed pepper party that night. My friend Jasper was coming in from England/Scotland/Germany (he is a man of many mysteries) and so we invited a bunch of people over to my flat and fed them peppers and smoked a lot of weed and hash. We also drank wine, beer and genever, and then I busted out this liquid mescaline that a weirdo gave/sold me in a coffee shop and then we played Twister, and Jasper and I headed out with our friends Grishelda and Eliana on our bicycles and made our way to the studio. This show is the result. In 2021 I generally say that drugs are bad, but in 1996 they were pretty damn good. 

We delve into our own version of the history of Scottish hip hop and play a lot of different things. Grishelda and Eliana basically had to hold us up after the show as we pushed our bikes home after the show like 3:30 am or something. I don't know. I remember more than I probably should about all of this. Fun times. Big ups Jasper McWhinnie, one of the many MC's of Scotland. We can't be stopped.

"This song describes our most inner feelings.

We spend quite a lot of time on the road, travelling in our motor home. We go, go and look out the window… There, on the other side of the window, there can be many different things: sometimes it’s raining, sometimes the sun is shining. We ride through big cities with high skycrapers and loud traffic. We travel along picturesque landscapes. Different countries, different roads. All passing by so quickly that you don’t have the time to capture these changes. We are seemingly observing through the window, somewhere in us, how life is passing by. And the natural desire is appearing to stop just for a second, close your eyes and immerse in another world.

A world, in which we are not separated by kilometres of roads, language, skin colour. A world, in which there is no politics and diplomacy, a world, in which there is no separation into the rich and the poor, a world, in which each of us can be themselves – full of love and happiness. A world, which exists in each of us, deep inside."

In the depth - Lyrics:
 
 Stand still for just a moment
 Close your eyes and submerge
 Into that world you’re longing for
 And try to hear it
 Remember that you still love
 
   Gauranga Gauranga Gauranga Haribol  (x4)
         
 Outside it’s windy it moves so fast                                                                     
 The time is flowing, it’s getting cold                                                                   
 But at the depth of my ocean, at my core                                                           
 It’s always peaceful still and warm

   Gauranga Gauranga Gauranga Haribol (x4)

Yet again we meet at the crossroads where original works get reignited and rise up to move us all over again. Reboot’s album ‘aLive’ has been making the rounds for quite some time now, and still getting refreshed. Last time it was Ricardo Villalobos remixing ‘Are you Loosing my mind’, and Kolsch’s remix of ‘Just Hang On’ before that. This time ‘Pollo al Sillao’ is up, with Brazil born and Barcelona based ANNA and Thai country girl Nakadia getting their hands dirty. Bringing the heat first is ANNA’s remix, who throws a heavy dose of acid over the track, giving it a beautifully analogue late night techno feel. The track reminds us of the old days when acid was king, a brilliant throwback and amazing interpretation of the original. Next Nakadia takes an almost trance-tech approach, bog sounds, bog spaces and plenty of raw energy fly through the room at high speed, creating an unmistakable peak time hit. And finally, as tradition, the stunning original rounds off the package nicely.

ANNA - International Women's Day Mix [Exclusive]

Brazilian producer ANNA steps up to Matador’s RUKUS imprint with her ‘Haze Moon’ EP, featuring the deep and ethereal title track that delivers a massive sound.
