Classy as fuck ce remix so fresh ultra design !

Pockets is the final single to be taken from the critically acclaimed sophomore LP, Colour Box, by Hamburg based quartet, The KBCS. And boy, did they leave the best until last.

As usual, this foursome of erstwhile session musicians jammed out what became Pockets with their customary degree of abandon. Consequently, this led to a number of welcome ‘mistakes’ that contribute towards the magic this talented tetrad so often creates. This time, though, the errors were perhaps a little too plentiful, and when singer Olivier St. Louis got involved in the writing 
process, the whole song was re-arranged and re-recorded by the Berlin based musician. So much so, that the band didn’t even recognize the intro to the song when it was first played to them!

Once again, the addition of a guest vocalist was 
masterminded by label boss Oli Glage who immediately suggested the Washington born and Haitian rooted artist. Olivier’s credits include working with the likes of 
Oddisee, Bibio, Onra and Hudson Mohawke, as well as more recently recording an album for UK Worldwide winning label, First Word Records. St. Louis’ vocals, on this track in particular, are perhaps more than a little reminiscent of Californian rapper Anderson.Paak, which is no bad thing as Pockets is probably one of the most immediate and soulful cuts on the album. A guaranteed ear worm for months to come.

„Despite the massive impact  this last year has had  on the life that so many have  been accustom to, in a  positive way, the  pause, I feel has given opportunity to reassessing choices, and beliefs. The time we may have waisted, what we should pay more attention, how much of our intentions we should share, and most importantly how we adapt to change. Pockets  is a song about  how to  use unexpected disruption to rebuild, reassure, and comeback stronger.“ 
- Olivier St. Louis

The KBCS represent the coming together of four very uniquely gifted, but very complementary, musicians from Hamburg. Drummer Lucas Kochbeck spends much of his time obsessing about vintage recording equipment, tape machines and the like, whilst adding his talents to the recordings of retro-loving contemporaries such the Bacao Rhythm And Steel Band and the Colemine Records family. 

Keyboard wiz Nicolas Börger is very much an in-demand, sound-centric master of the blacks and whites, in the same way that guitarist Lars Coelln lends his skills to a myriad of works across the sonic 
spectrum. Completing the quartet, bottom end provider Daniel Stritzke adds a little freeform jazz and hip hop attitude to the mix, but even then you can find his bass holding things down on crossover hits galore. 

Look out for news of The KBCS bringing their sublime live show to a town near you soon as things hopefully start to open up around the world.

Urban Waves Records join forces with local producer, writer and singer Peter Beda from Lazy Rebel to present this new album by 72 Soul / Pierre Citron! SOULDRIFTA is going to keep you warm for this Winter season! The album is a very authentic Belgian experience. You'll hear words in French, Dutch and English! All put together this offers a typical Brussels atmosphere. We wanted to give the world a taste of our local culture for once. So lay back, grab a beer, a pack of fries ("frittes" as we say here) and enjoy!

The digital album drops now and we have this very rare and limited small "in house" vinyl edition that will be ready around February next year that you can already pre-order and secure a copy for yourself. This is guaranteed to be a collector item with a low quantity edition.

"The Earth is drifting and so are we, sensitive souls and spiritual rebels, adrift yet free following our unknown destiny - voices rappin' to a heartbeat." 
- SOULDRIFTA

En terrasse 

En terrasse, avec un café et un verre d’eau
Tu manges une glace, Instagram, Snapchatte
Faut qu’on laisse des traces, serait-on lâche
On s’embrasse, on se check avant le crash
Pendant qu’on se fait la bise, le monde se globalise.. 

Saint-Boniface, rendez-vous en face-à-face
Avec l’homme que l’on nomme.. Monseigneur Fainéasse
Mangeur de chocolat, Léonidas
Pierre Citron, l’homme en terrasse
De Bruxelles, au Honduras
Son alias, le magnifique, l’as des as
Avec des fausses vérités comme guide, hélas,
dans la rue, une Séat passe..
Elle laisse des traces, en terasse

En terrasse, je bois et je ramasse. En terrasse, y a des gens qui passent
En terrasse, y a jamais assez de place. En terrasse, je veux pas de Kalash 

Et puis boum. Des Kalash. En terrasse. 
Décalage, ça fait clash. Drive-by de la haine. 
Mise en scène.

Des types tristes qui fument trop de shit font exploser le kitsch, comme une balance
Plans de relance, Bruxelles c’est pas la France. Chômage, racisme, jamais de chance
Rien à voir avec l’Islande, c’est Aram le Rentrededans
Sans compter les médias de la crise qui nous terrorisent pour remplir les pages à tout va
L’état? C’est bien mais nos biens ne valent plus rien donc ça veut plus rien dire, tout ça
Une porte fermé pour en mourir, l’étranger au paradis, plus personne ne doit sortir
L’esprit bouclé, dormir pendant la guerre des etoiles et se diriger du mauvais côté
Les mains sales, dans la rue on fait régime: police et militaire
Ouais on se sent bien chez nous ici c’est bon, soyons clair

En terrasse, je bois et je ramasse. En terrasse, y a des gens qui passent
En terrasse, y a jamais assez de place. En terrasse, je veux pas de Kalash 

J’vais prendre un thé à la menthe, et un café serré..
Inch allah .. Qu’est-ce qu’on va encore nous raconter?
On est tous venu ici pour se faire de sous, on est tous devenu tout fou

“On a décidé de boire un verre avant. 
On a hésité entre Le Dillens et La Maison Du Peuple. 
On s’installe en terrasse. 
Après le premier verre, on s’est dit qu’on allait en reprendre un autre.    
C’est ce deuxième verre qui nous a sauvé la vie.”
