BenBlue - Emotion in life

For all my people in the street

This song was recorded during and following the Soul Clap Asia tour in 2011 organized by DJ DSK. Jim Dunloop, DSK and Marc Hype met whilst performing at a pop concert in China organized by Zebrocski aka Akim Walta of the Hip Hop Stutzpunkt – Berlin, Germany. After numerous shows across China and Asia they decided it would be fun and interesting to record some music with local artists as they toured China, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Vietnam, Singapore and Thailand.  “Soul Love” is one of the tracks produced and is interesting as it contains English, Mandarin and Cantonese languages.

Part 1 – Beijing, China.

DJ DSK arranged for a jet lagged Jim Dunloop just a few hours after arriving in China to met up with Little Han a guitarist from one of Chinas only funk bands “The Verse.” DSK threw together a simple beat and Jim and Little Han even though not being able to speak the same language started to jam and create some ideas. They recorded the guitar parts and later Jim emailed the midi patterns of all his keyboards and synths to DSK.

Part 2 – Shanghai, China.

In his hotel room DJ DSK roughly arranged some of the guitar parts and midi patterns over the drumbeat. DSK then called up his friend Drunk Monk and went on a quick vinyl hunt and discussed the project with him. Drunk Monk was sure his partner Chacha the top urban music vocalist in China would love to be part of the project. DSK passed on the rough beat to ChaCha and she recorded the chorus in Mandarin Chinese.

Part 3 – Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Whilst performing in Cambodia Marc, Jim and DSK where introduced to Peanut an American living in Phnom Penh that is a b-boy, producer and DJ. Peanut arranged for his friend and music partner MC Dolla an exiled American of Cambodian roots now living in Phnom Penh to record the first verse. At that time Peanut was in process of moving his studio so he set up a make shift studio in his kitchen to record the vocals. Mc Dolla wrote and recorded the first verse in English at this make shift kitchen studio.

Part 4 – Guangzhou, China.

After the end of the tour one more verse was needed, DJ DSK arranged for his friend Kid God from Chee productions to record the final verse in Cantonese. DSK had performed with Kid God several times before at the world expo and music festivals so knew it was the right choice. 

Part 5 – Kunming, China

Upon return to his home in Kunming, China - DJ DSK took all the recordings and midi patterns and started to arrange the track. The original beat was completely remade, the guitar parts and midi patterns also re arranged and chopped up to fit all the vocals.  Then the last stage was to mix and master the track at his home studio in Kunming.

With all due respect, this album is dedicated to all of the pioneers of the culture and all of the people that I met around the world that inspired me to find myself in Hip Hop.
