ARTIST STATEMENT

Deaf Safari is an audio collage of subjects that interest me and speak of the world I live in.
It is an album composed of sampled recordings from the media landscape that has been the soundtrack to my life over the last ten years.

The most important development in my current music and as can be heard on Deaf Safari has been my understanding of the beauty and power of the spoken word. I have experienced severe indifference to contemporary pop and electronic music as a whole over the last many years, as I have felt that social comment of any relevance has been ignored by music in general.
Deaf Safari attempts to bring sociopolitical comment into my music without taking any specific stand.
Sampled outside of musical influence directly from the news; from preacher sermons or from contemporary African documentaries.
I have finally created a story with sound that I feel accurately conveys my personal experience with the African world I live in.

My musical influences on this album lie mostly with local Kwaito house. Deaf Safari is an experiment within certain boundaries of the 4/4 genre, to create my own South African "house" album.
I am proud and inspired about the South African Kwaito house scene.
However, as with my first three albums, "Thin Shoes In June“ (2001) - "4/4 Down The Stairs“ (2002) and "Dark Days Exit“ (2005), I am still interested in making strange and evocative music.

American Roots music from the earlier periods of the 20th century has deeply resonated with me during the making of this album.
The incredible field recordings by Alan Lomax of Negro prison and chain gang work songs, and the
beautiful early recordings of artists such as Leadbelly have had a major influence on Deaf Safari.

I am truly excited to release this album and to start performing in the music world again. It has been ten years since I released "Dark Days Exit , and although I have been purposefully absent from the music world, I have none the less never stopped making music.
I feel that I have finally arrived at a mature and challenging stage in my pursuit of making emotional music of relevance .

Das Zwillingsbruder-Duo Les @deux, das bislang eine Handvoll Songs nur via SoundCloud publizierte, hat einen neuen Track produziert. “Jagda” ist eine Hommage an den Pionier des Delta Blues, Son House und seine Produktion “John the Revelator”. Die Rede ist von Robert Johnson, der auch liebevoll “King Of The Delta Blues” genannt wurde. (...)

Les Deux - Jagda

[Verse 1]

They said I had to fake it till I made it
Wear the mask, play the part, never break it
But one night I cracked where no one could see
And it felt like the start of finally being me
It wasn’t a trick, it wasn’t a trend
It was breath at the edge I used to pretend

[Chorus]

This ain't no mindset
This ain't no show
It's rootwork, baby
Where the wild things grow

[Verse 2]

Three months deep, and the walls came down
Got my worth back, soul for soul, pound for pound
They said I looked like light again
Even the pros said, “This one’s rare, my friend”
No step-by-step, no empty smile
Just raw undoing mile by mile

[Chorus]

This ain't no mindset
This ain't no trick
It's nervous system thunder
Hitting soft and thick

[Bridge]

This is for the kid with the heavy chest
Who thought success meant faking the rest
This is for the tears that no one saw
Now blooming into something raw

[Chorus]

This ain't no shortcut
This ain't no brand
It’s deep work, baby
That you do by hand

So here's to the ones
Who bet on their soul
You don't just change 
You come back whole



Rootwork [Baby]

It Is Because I'm Black - Syl Johnson (Hita del Cid - Remix)

Between 2006 and 2008 i (Tonic) made a few edits on a label called 'Mindless Boogie' under a few different names (Tonic, Skinny Joey, Rubber Room). The label was vinyl only, so the tracks are pretty hard to find by now. It's a shame to let them go to waste, so here they are... Go and multiply!

Devendra in a slightly housier but still laid back setting. I took the liberty of playing some piano in the break and adding various stuff :)
