HELLO DEAR FRIENDS 

I Am so very sorry that i have been so painfully quiet for such a long time .
I Have been making lots of music as usual but have been very uncertain if i actually love it or not ......................
I Present to you the first of 3 podcasts ..........................  basically a live performance using tracks from my new album in a very loose simple way .
The samples i use throughout the mix are taken from a documentary called        " Crack Clouds over Hells Kitchen "   which is a film made in the 80's about the crack problems in Hells Kitchen Park , New York .
https://youtu.be/4BXEF2soaWk
I suggest you watch it .

Anyway i truly hope you enjoy this mix

I made this music way back in 1995 when i was finishing high school .
My good friend Dean Henning . AKA = Captain Asthma  helped me with programming some of the beats as Dean was our main drummer in Both our high school bands "Incurable" and "Fingerhead" .
I had at this stage in my life a KORG X3 Workstation Keyboard ( Thanks to my dear parents and Babs Naidoo Music in Pietermaritzburg )

At this stage in my life i was obsessed with early 80s electro music ............. bands such as Grauzone , No more , D.A.F , Joachim whitt , O.M.D , Front 242 , Kraftwerk .................... this type thing .
Of course at this point in time in South Africa ( One year into our new Democracy ) Most people where not listening to this type music .
Dean and I attempted to Record a Second Unit album in Pietermaritzburg , in a studio with our friend Gavin .
The music was recorded straight from my Korg onto DAT tape and the vocals and bass guitar where recorded separately.
Unfortunately our DAT tape was corrupt and the recording was a disaster .
Somehow Dean came into possession of a recording made onto cassette tape ................... and this is the only recording of Second Unit in existence .
This music was very personal to me when i made it 
Hope you enjoy

A Second Unit

Easy by  Second Unit  1995

walking and falling at the same time . Early in the morning , the sound of love is calling , but sadly we sleepwalking back to where we know best .

GOT MY BAG GOT MY RESERVATION   85 BPM  =    29=05=2018

This Tikno dancefloor killer has been a very long time in the making . It has taken me years to get to this place where i feel the track is raw , orrigional , nasty , beautiful and better than the other shit we like to call popular dance music . It has taken me years to build the confidence to strip away layers , forget about the  Dance music rules .............and essentially make things nasty and beautiful .  2019 the year of Tikno , the year of OFF BY HEART .

DREAMING AINT ENOUGH  5 Vingers Of Death Mix 2019

And here is another TIKNO Dance floor masterpiece .  Finally edited down from its original 137 minute madness .  Another schooling in punk simplicity , .... . vocal sample games ............................ when you been producing music and releasing music since 1999 ................ when you see how all artistry has become a thing of the past . when being called a DJ is beyond an insult ............... when everything sounds the same ............. THEN ITS TIME FOR TIKNO  !  2019 .... year of OFF BY HEART .

WHEN YOU FEEL LOST and about to give up   114 bpm

A new piece from my new Album ................ once again a lesson in simplicity . I dont need to sit for days proving to you all what a detailed , original producer i am .  i have many albums that i created in that space . 
I want mess , i want mistakes , i want imperfection and mostly i want to continue creating collage with music that says something special to you all .
When i was growing up in the 80,s in apartheid South Africa .............. i can mostly remember the emptiness everywhere , empty beaches , empty sadness for the privileged few .
Felix Laband   18=01=2019

EXOTIC MEMORY OF EMPTY BEACHES 1989   =  08=01=2019

Another collage from my new album ........................ a conversation with a preacher about being a member of the BLACK GOWN , RED SCARF cult . 

More mistakes , more sadness , more kindness , more simplicity . 
Living in Africa has many advantages .................... LOVE being the most obvious. 
Felix Laband   18=01=2019

BLACK GOWN RED SCARF   =     17=04=2018

Here is another track from my new album ......... i dont have an album title yet ......................  All i know is that this album will be quiet , simple , messy , real and beautiful .  
Thank you all for always listening to me and always giving me love and respect for my craft .
you keep me trying
