Just Joy, thank you for the joy you bring to me.

We built the cities, tall and strong and bright,
Tamed the rivers, banished endless night.
Eight billion mouths, we learned to feed and fuel,
Made industry roar, against the old, harsh rule.
But still we wander, strangers in this land,
Each a lonely atom in the cosmic sand.

How do we build a soul that all can share?
A common pulse, a light beyond compare?
A single purpose, for the human race?
A guiding code that finds its perfect place?
How do we build a soul, a unifying art,
To program peace into every human heart?

We shaped the planet, bent it to our will,
With hands of steel and minds that can't be still.
We shattered borders, and we bridged the seas,
With screens that glow, and satellites with ease.
But still we fight, for tribe and ancient ground,
A silent fracture, without any sound.

How do we build a soul that all can share?
A common pulse, a light beyond compare?
A single purpose, for the human race?
A guiding code that finds its perfect place?
How do we build a soul, a unifying art,
To program peace into every human heart?

It is the final, monumental quest,
To find the peace within our troubled breast.
A new existence, forged by thought and plan,
The ultimate creation of the hand of man.
How do we build a soul that all can share?
How do we build a light beyond compare?

We will build a soul that all can share!
A common pulse, a light beyond compare!
A single purpose, for the human race!
A guiding code, for all of time and space!
To program kindness, a unifying art,
To forge a brand new soul and a brand new start.

How Do We Build A Soul?

Shine Grooves - After All

Cygnus

On this very day, we celebrate our 2,5 year anniversary. We started this journey to create a platform for upcoming artists and to have absolute legends on this series like this man from Dallas. Having shared a stage with the likes of DJ Stingray, Dopplereffekt, Arpanet, Ultradyne, etc while also releasing at labels like CPU Records, Fundamental Records(with Machine Funk Volume 2 on its way), Electro Records(his latest Hologram Killer is an absolute must-have!) and Barba Records (Double LP coming up) it might be a bit of an understatement to say that this man has made quite the name for himself. 

Here are a few words from Cygnus himself about this podcast: "At first I wanted to do a bunch of electro music. And then I thought, “does anyone really feel like dancing right now?” Everybody seems exhausted. I’m exhausted, at least. Maybe someone, at least one person would appreciate a different take on this unusually powerful nightmare we are all watching unfold.
 
So it’s all calm, chill stuff with a spacey vibe. Anyone who knows me really well knows this is my territory. I nearly added the Interlude music from Ghost in the Shell, but didn’t, thinking maybe the copyright police would bomb the DUSK offices in Amsterdam. However, I did record a thunderstorm and added that.
 
These are just things that point our mind inward. Quiet moods, silence, rain, calming voices, I think a lot of the black voices taking the foreground in these past few weeks are very pained, loud, traumatized, hurt voices, and they are very much so a result of the abuse and completely deranged behaviour of elected authorities and police.  But there are more tones to the black voice – there is the deep, warm, calming mood, the ability to calm you down, to help you visualize a better future for yourself, to stop abusing yourself and let your mind calm down. I fear people forgetting that us black people are capable of unimaginable compassion and gentleness in the midst of all this outrage. These are my lone thoughts.  I think it is very good to calm down and let our minds relax.  We don’t have to run away from how we feel all the time either. It’s gonna be okay. Hope you are all well. 

Let his music do the talking.

After a wonderful subtropical day here in Amsterdam, we are here with the first artist of our 808-roster, this man was based in Manchester for many years but currently resides in Japan from where he co-runs the brilliant Gated Recordings aiming to release top-notch electronic music with an acid, electro and experimental undertone (you can check out the podcast series and the label in the links below).   

His mix for DUSK094 starts with some 4 by 4’s and continues, as he himself describes very poetically; “ into some darker, bass-heavy music, pulling apart the standard tropes, mixing in a little nostalgia, emotive touches and giving a few nods to some titans of the electronic scene such as Pearson Sound, Batu, James Shinra and Blawan. This is lightly peppered with newer talents that Gated is committed to releasing and supporting like The Jaffa Kid, Mazzo and uf0.”

Let his music do the talking.
