Hi everyone! Here’s a late Christmas present to express my gratitude for all the support this year. 

Proud to share the full 160 minute recording of my set in fabric room 1 earlier this year, warming up for Nicola Cruz

In a year full of proud musical achievements, this one took top spot. Playing that slot was a life affirming experience to me, I worked really hard planning set set and it was an honour to have the privilege of getting to perform it live. Big love to Nicola for the invite!

Again, thanks to all those who supported my music this year - loads of exciting stuff planned for 2022 already, watch this space!

Suite #3: Dirge 3

My next full length record comes out in 2026. I removed this song from the master to shorten the overall length of the project and to tighten the musical continuity. Here, all on its own is the (for now) abandoned THE CRUELEST COUNTS.

SPARE THREE NAILS, the next full length album from Chas Got the Spins, releases to the world in early 2026.

lyrics:
After all of these years
I don’t even know why I was mad
About the cruelest counts against me
All of that bad math
When subtracted from truth
Made me strong and set me free

These days, when you’re looking at me
I want you to see
What we are, now that we can be
And I have to stress this
I will bear witness
To all the amazing things you do
Don’t ever be sad
About the people that deserted you
I will never leave you

For many more years
I will walk with you
Toward the ultimate goal
And I love you more
Than I could love anyone
From the depth of my soul

These days, When you’re looking at me
I want you to see
All of the cruelest counts
How none of them amount
To a thing that could break us
I will never forsake us
You’ll always have my trust
You stood by me through and through
I will never leave you

Discography

The Cruelest Counts

“Divine music is a curative virtue; it is a gift from God that brings healing and comfort to the soul. This music can uplift one’s spirit up to a higher dimension of being that is filled with peace and joy. Divine music is the sound of true life, wisdom, and bliss. This music transcends geographical boundaries, language barriers, age factors; and whether educated or uneducated, it reaches deep into the heart and soul, sacred and holy, like an Infinite sound of glory entering the Lord’s sanctuary.” – Alice “Swamini Turiyasangitananda” Coltrane (1937 – 2007)

Around 14 years ago, I first glimpsed Alice Coltrane on the cover of her 1972 album World Galaxy. She was wrapped in robes and framed by the psychedelic figures of artist Peter Max. From her radiant gaze I knew I had encountered a high spirit. When I dropped the needle and heard the music my world was blown apart. Between the newly shattered pieces Alice injected a shimmering light. Her string arrangements, lush and majestic, dissolved at points, giving way to intimate moments that burned and swung then swelled skyward again.

Alice’s early Impulse! Records output was jazz music infused with an air of the divine. She was paying tribute to and continuing the legacy of her departed husband John Coltrane while offering the world a glimpse of her blossoming spirituality. Her song titles alone let us know where her mind was: “Journey in Satchidananda,” “Galaxy in Turiya,” “Jaya Jaya Rama,” or simply “Mantra.” These were cosmic love songs, and although her great Earth lover was gone, her universal love was growing.

Alice was a woman of constant transformation. She was born Alice McLeod, to became Alice Coltrane then eventually shed conventional names to become Swamini Turiyasangitananda (Sanskrit for “the highest song of God,”). Earlier on, Alice had embraced the teachings of the guru Sathya Sai Baba and shades of her spirituality were reflected on a string of gorgeous albums from the late 60’s through 1970’s on Impulse! and Warner Brothers. In 1983 she retreated from secular life altogether and founded the Vedantic Center Sai Anantam Ashram tucked deep into the Santa Monica Mountains bordering Los Angeles. Her musical output seemed to silence but in actuality the waves were building.

Turiya (Alice) had given up secular music to focus on pure devotion. Her songs of praise came in the form of Vedic Chants. These were not muted, whispered prayers. They were ecstatic praise in full swing. The sessions were released as worship tapes & cds available through her Ashram’s Avatar Book Institute: Turiya Sings (1982), Divine Songs (1987), Infinite Chants (1990), Glorious Chants (1995). They are a total revelation for any Alice Coltrane fan and a missing link of sorts in her musical story.

These four albums are collections of purely devotional songs. The verses are Vedic Chants repeating the names of deities. These swirling, meditative mantras are sometimes sung solo with serene fragility by Turiya and at other times rise in magnificent, gospel-like form from the Ashram Singers. Throughout, the magic element is Turiya’s synthesizer, which dives, sweeps and rises like a million stars cradling all in ancient, blissful light. These are the tones of a luminous glow that is gentle but powerful. It is music made by a woman and her devotees who were in full, astonished love with the immense universe and the tranquility they found within it. Although these songs were cosmic in scope they have been largely unheard by the world. I hope you choose to explore further and even if the flames do overtake this music it will continue to ring on in your heart and beyond.

SONGS:
“Er Ra” from Divine Songs
“Keshava Murahara” from Divine Songs
“Rama Guru” from Infinite Chants
“Gopala” from Infinite Chants
“Hari Rupa & Siva Mantra” from Infinite Chants
“Journey to Satchitananda” from Glorious Chants
“Charanam” from Turiya Sings

i only listen to reggae vol.1 "GIRL OF DREAMS"

It's no secret that Japan has produced some of the finest meditative sounds, from the environmental music of Hiroshi Yoshimura to the warm synths of Haruomi Hosono. 

Ken Hidaka, Max Essa and Dr. Rob are three friends and deep digging collectors who've been immersed in these sounds for years, through writing, DJing or throwing their long-running monthly listening party at Bar Bonobo in Harajuku. 

Together they have charted the history of Japanese chillout and downtempo music from 1988 to 2018 on a compilation for Music for Dreams 'Collectors' series, titled Oto No Wa. Each track is the result of friendships and physical connections, mapping out the development of chilled sounds, from ambient to electro-acoustics, post-house and balearic.

Alongside a mix from Dr Rob, we asked him, Ken and Max to discuss some of their favourites of the genre: https://www.stampthewax.com/2020/07/12/a-brief-history-of-japanese-chillout-&-downtempo/
