INSTRUMENTAL - Vibe By Your Side V3inC (R&B - FREE DOWNLOAD) - Akara Etteh 2016.09.08

Plastician’s Terrorhythmn imprint have been breathing plenty of life into the mutated, hybrid club sounds emerging from both UK and US beat-makers over the past two years, crucially spotlighting producers like Ganz, AWE, Patrick Brian and JD Reid for the first time.

The latest name to emerge from the camp, Klasey Jones, has been bubbling under for the past year, with his tracks earning heavy rotation on Plastician’s Rinse FM show in particular — itself often a valuable resource for those seeking a link between grime, drill and instrumental, cloud-wave rap.

Jones’ debut EP — the widescreen, cinematic ‘Foreign Buyers Club’ — is a profound case in point, linking the above sub-genres with flashes of 80s synth music, anime OSTs and some genuinely one-of-a-kind sound design.

At five tracks long, Jones is also able to explore the variants to his sound fully across the EP; see the morbid dystopia of opener ‘Area 55’ for example, or conversely, the hazy, string-led romance on ‘Gang Gang’.

With over 150 instrumentals currently sat on his hardrive, Jones’ potential is limitless, but ‘Foreign Buyers Club’ serves as the perfect introduction to where he’s headed.

LYRICS:

Feelings get unnoticed  
It don’t make no change  
Reach for these moments  
Getting all in vain  
Kudos to you 
If you ain’t willing to stay  
Will you come through  
Will you come through  

I’ve been feeling hella lonely lately  
You’re the only one that make me crazy  
Sick of waiting for you on a daily  
I’ve been feeling, I’ve been feeling hazy 
Hazy 

Tell me what’s the deal? 
I KNOW this was real  
All up in my feels 
Been caught up 
What’s up? 
Hold up! 
Now what’s the deal? 

I’ve been feeling hella lonely lately  
You’re the only one that make me crazy  
Sick of waiting for you on a daily  
I’ve been feeling I’ve been feeling hazy

Hazy 
(a-a-all up in my feels) 

You, you’ve been getting comfortable  
I’ve been providing all my time 
For you I've broken every kinda rule 
You’ve been taking me for a fool  
Pick a path now you gotta choose  

I’ve been feeling hella lonely lately  
You’re the only one that make me crazy  
Sick of waiting for you on a daily  
I’ve been feeling, I’ve been feeling hazy

Tell me what’s the deal? 
I KNOW this was real  
All up in my feels 
Been caught up 
What’s up? 
Hold up! 
Now what’s the deal? 

Calling me telling me how much you want this to work but I’m not here for tips 
Why don’t you see I was waiting for you but you know that I’m so over this  
On to the next  
Sure you’ll find someone to test  
Kudos to you  
I’ll be living my own best  

I’ve been feeling hella lonely lately  
You’re the only one that make me crazy

LYRICS

Come here darling  
Mama told you  
To not trust things  
Can I be more specific  
Don't ever in trust humans  
Your own instincts  
They can be quite treacherous  
The love that's shown is unfolded  
So come let's fly  
And make this worthwhile  

‘Cos every little thing, every little thing  
Makes you think again cos you wanna win  
But that's on you  
Well if you make through the night  
What is there to fight  
Let's live for the rights  
Might as well strive  
‘Cos what you gonna do 
We’re scared for the people  

You’re a young boy 
Your daddy did not teach how to be a man  
So you gotta understand your life's gonna take you on a different type ‘a journey 
You can kill 2 birds with one stone  
So what’s the reason for hope 

‘Cos every little thing, every little thing  
Makes you think again cos you wanna win  
But that's on you  
Well if you make through the night  
What is there to fight  
Let's live for the rights  
Might as well strive  
‘Cos what you gonna do 
We’re scared for the people  

Every little thing, every little thing  
Makes you think again cos you wanna win  
But that's on you (but that’s on you, that’s on you) 
Well if you make through the night  
What is there to fight  
Let's live for the rights  
Might as well strive (let’s keep it moving) 
‘Cos what you gonna do (what you gonna do) 
We’re scared for the people, oh 

We’re scared for the people, oh 
We’re scared for the people, oh 
We’re scared for the people, oh 
We’re scared for the people 
 
Darling 
Oh little boy  
Gotta teach you something 
You gotta understand  
You gotta understand 
That you don’t shape for the people

Been lucky enough to have songs on BBC Radio 1, and have played at festivals across Europe, including @Afropunk, The Great Escape, Lunatik festival, and @Field-Day-Festival

Growing up on a diet of Nigerian gospel, hip-hop and die-hard 00's neo-soul, I'm using those influences, combined with my classical training, to create sing-along songs that Muse would be proud of. BASS that moves you, emotive instrumentation, with hooky, pop sensibilities.
