Collocutor - Arrival (AA DUBPLATE)

Talent: Pierre Citron (https://pierrecitron.bandcamp.com)
Musique: Flamingosis (https://flamingosis1.bandcamp.com)

Chaque femme que je croise me veut, c’est juste génant
tous les mecs veulent être mon pote, ben je comprends
chaque rime que je kick, c’est comme une biffle, t’es trop content
trop de bonheur pour un salhomme, j’ai toujours de la chance
franchement, c’est juste génant, j’ai trop de talent

c’est juste génant, j’ai trop de talent

ceci dit, je traine pas avec des voyelles
je ne connais que des gens avec des talents exceptionelles
en plus si c’est des femmes, elles sont hyper-belles, juste mortelle
et oui je connais papi mami deejay aussi
pas ceux qui sniffent mais ceux qui assurent
pas ceux qui se kiffent mais ceux qui carburent
j’écoute des beatmakers qui tue et ça me tue qu’ils sont pas plus connu
mais mes goûts musicaux sont tellement avant-garde que ça pue
ça risque de prendre du temps tu vois, c’est juste génant

c’est juste génant, j’ai trop de talent

tout les choix de vie que je fais sont les bonnes
quand je déprime j’écris des super lignes au grammophone
j’veux dire, c’est juste génant comment je gère ma vie
tu vois c’est dans le style… Vanessa Paradis
 
J’ai trop de bol, trop de chance
Pierre Citron, verseau, no balance

ma vie est un rêve que je construis moi-même
donc parfois j’en fais un cauchemar 
juste pour m’amuser, je veux savoir comment les autres vivent
oui, c’est triste d’être si doué, sans jamais avoir des vrai défis

c’est juste génant, j’ai trop de talent
et trop d’argent
et j’suis un gland
pour qui pourquoi, pourtant
c’est juste génant.. j’ai trop de talent.

Trop De Talent

For episode 75 I had to bring in a very special guest - my close friend, the incredible vinyl selector DJ Center. Don't ever miss a chance to witness Center spin a gig - whether at the club, the lounge, the charity event, or anywhere else - and don't sleep on his production or mixes either. Center and I share a deep love of jazz music and so I thought it would be dope to have him bring some of his favorites over for the podcast. Of course he showed up with more records than we had time to play, but he focused in and delivered some really high quality flavors that are perfect for this episode. I also got a short interview in with him afterword. Don't sleep! You can check him on IG, FB and everywhere else as well as his website, http://pushthefader.com

Tracklist: 

DJ Center: John Coltrane, Samba Lanca Trio, Ahmad Jamal, Vladimir, Mike Longo, Robert Watson, Lester Sterling, Soul Jazz Orchestra, [Redacted], Anthony Williams 

DJ Ian Head: Cedar Walton, McCoy Tyner, Ill Considered

I.O is the first release from Ribongia’s upcoming EP, La Reunion. Named after a tiny volcanic island
off the coast of Madagascar, La Reunion is the first in a 3 EP series: Les Rencontres de L'Océan
Indien (Meetings from the Indian Ocean). Each EP in the series will feature collaborations with artists
from the islands of La Reunion, Rodrigues and Mauritius.
It’s been an uncharacteristically long time between tracks for relentlessly innovative electronic artist,
Ribongia. Following the success of his debut album M∆∆T, the globe-trotting producer is gearing up for
yet another boundary-breaking release - this time from his island residence in Mauritius.
The new instrumental track distills Ribongia’s experience of leaving behind modern city life for a small
island in the Indian Ocean. “La Reunion island is like the Lost World,” says Ribongia. “It’s a powerful
volcanic island with this mystical atmosphere. I picture I.O as the soundtrack to my arrival. Imagine
yourself standing on the shores and breathing in that mystical atmosphere.”
Known for his sonic surprises, the celebrated Italian-Australian producer’s fresh release won’t
disappoint those with a hankering for some quality left-of-field electronica. In true Ribongia style, the
new track lands from out of nowhere - in the best possible way.
“As a producer, I sometimes think I should make more instrumental tracks. In a weird way they seem to
speak more sincerely about who I am as an Artist. It’s a difficult concept to articulate to be honest, but
when I listen to these types of instrumentals, I think they make me like myself more.”
As the planet introspects under pandemic restrictions, so too has Ribongia created a soundscape that
captures a very specific moment of change in his internal world. It’s a moment recalled as a direct
response to the new landscape that for now, he calls home.
Ribongia’s 2018 debut album M∆∆T has been described as “a musical masterpiece...innovative and
incredibly left-of-field” (Amnplify) and “Global bass music executed with ruthless precision,” (Triple J).
So don’t be lulled into a false sense of silence from the envelope-pushing producer. I.O. marks the
beginning of a new wave. And it will take you to another world.
