In 2022 during the great plaque, work began compiling ‘Weld’ a 17 track chef-d'œuvre featuring 16 brand new MC and collaborators, a worldwide vocalist arsenal celebrating Kinlaw’s scope as a producer and a bedrock for multilingual messaging.

“Global noise-rap punktronics from a global guest cast of MCs and vocalists from Bristol to Togo, Uganda to Palestine - steeped in the mystery and folklore of a small town in Dorset, England. Weld is the defining statement of the Kinlaw universe“

Weld was assembled with 30 dubs, chats at the pub and a few emails. Some artist like Operation Egodeath, Robin Stewart (of Giant Swan infame), Dali de Saint Paul, Kelan, D Ham are confirmed members of the shadowy Avon Terror Corps shadowy, Ceramics alumni or Bristol underground friends like Birthmark or Danny Nedelko (of Heavy Lungs / IDLES infamy). At its core Weld is a celebration of this strong local scene - in Kinlaw’s world, local is global - through internet or psychic projection, we are all one. The link-up with Jordan’s premiere avant garde outlet Drowned By Locals is an important expression of this no-borders attitude - with them providing a jumping point to a wealth of vocal talent from the Middle East and beyond. 

Opening with Abdel Ja7eem Hafeth wrenching cover of Johnny Thunders -Society Makes me sad, sung in arabic. After the dust settles, things begin as they intend to go on with the belter Zazuka featuring Ugandan MC, Activist and Nyege Nyege hero Ecko Bazz. Effected Signaller features Togolese No Corner / Rwdfwd vocalist Yao Bobby. In the second part of WELD, Tunisian Toxic Club soldiers Flow Tha Key and Dryveins bring their respective mellow and doom performances in Kinchasa and Too Many Signals; followed later by Palestinian MC MrF13’s Strategically Demorphed, staving off total collapse in an isolated vault which is falling apart; a Sisyphean journey to madness. In ملوك الشغب , Kafr El Dauwar singer, composer and songwriter Ibrahim X brings the mixtape’s energy to an unexpected turn with his famous full blown Egyptian wedding aesthetics, only to be grounded towards the end by Elvin Brandhi’s Speech Plasticity.

Accompanying the album are a collection of cards, the origins, motive & gameplay is still unknown. Story has it they were originally discovered in the flooded basement of Castlemeadesque, Barclays House in Poole, Dorset. Described by one google user as “Mirroring Corfe Castle in Modern Brutalist style.” and also home to peregrine falcons.  The offices were abandoned two years ago, and the cards, in 3 sets of five, were recovered by one of the bank employees. Masterley restored for Weld by Winchester Picture Corps.

DESTITUTE Mixcast 039 / Mount Terror

@SaintAbdullah & @Eomac rekindle their longstanding collaboration in this fiery new release sourced from the multiple cultural references and personal stories of its producers.

In their third installment entitled “Light meteors crashing around you will not confuse you”, the New York-based Iranian-Canadian siblings Mohammad and Mehdi Mehrabani-Yeganeh aka Saint Abdullah & Wicklow-based Irish producer Ian McDonnell aka Eomac continue their exploration of sounds and rhythms through an expansive use of sampling and heavy distorted beats. Passionately curious about diverse vocal and musical cultures as well as their own, the trio began their long-distance collaboration in 2019, releasing their first two albums, “Patience of a Traitor ” (Other People) and “Chasing Stateless” (Planet Mu) in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

The trio recorded the album as the world witnessed the genocide on Gaza, Mohammad notes that all tracks were “recorded within a few weeks in October after the war broke out as we tried to keep our heads above water.” The sound of Saint Abdullah is characterized by a keen interest to challenge cultural perceptions and expectations of diasporic narratives, by foregrounding sounds, field recordings, and sacred and profane music from the multiple worlds they belong to. They pay homage to the distinct influences, however sonically and culturally disparate, that have permeated their records and musical process so far. Together with Eomac, they continue a conversation shaped by their ever-growing sonic heritage and shared musical affinities. The inclusion of field recordings for example, often personal ones, are not ornamental but are integral parts of the whole album in which vocal samples are both used in moments of release or through thrusts of heavy beats, continually mirroring a state of unease.…

Reflecting on the recording process, Eomac notes that: “There is a strong influence and inspiration from hip-hop culture here. The beat-tape in particular. It’s rough, raw; rhythms are direct and not overthought. The beats are heavy and distorted for the most part, often shifting and changing throughout a single track. This brings an intentional “ungroundedness” to the record and a sense of tension.” Echoing this state of unsteadiness, Mohammad writes in a poem during the recording: “Those in the diaspora, are those that have left their home, by force, by will, somewhere in between. Are we the connective tissue that makes things more interesting?” Tracks like 'Bitch, I am Islam’ and ‘Rocknrallah’ relieve some of the sense of disorientation but are no less poignant. In the former, 'Bitch, I am Islam', Mohammad uses old personal recordings of his sisters reciting the Quran or repeating Iranian revolutionary chants like “War war, until victory”, an acknowledgment of the worlds they left behind and the ones that need building. In ‘Rocknrallah’ Abdel Ja7eem Hafeth sings a rendition of the 1933 American standard tune ‘Smoke gets in your eyes’ only to evoke the smoke coming out of Gaza.

The record also features fellow Iranian artists in the diaspora, musician and sound artist based in Paris Cinna Peyghamy and club experimentalist Aria Rostami. Ian Bruner, who worked on the album’s artwork, created a composite of the different elements and motifs that form the album, an image of arduous travel towards the mirage of Americana. In this historic period of grief and anger, ‘Light meteors crashing around you will not confuse you’ musically and conceptually engages world systems and beliefs through the experiences and stories of its producers.

Saint Abdullah & Eomac - The people who initiate a new world

Metalheart: Realcore w/ Molly Turner - 18/01/2024

Enter here, get out there. The same deal, for a day, a year, a lifetime. A succession of journeys, through doors opening before then closing after you, their frames revealing new paths to follow. Actually, look around you, doesn't it look just like your starting point? Don't you still feel the same? You didn't forget your childhood heroes, nor the posters hanging on the walls of your teenage room, right?

"On Vama ٣٠٠٠ home planet there are twelve jewels set close to the nucleus, which have the function of electromagnetic and gravitational stabilizers for the planet's orbit. Those entities also contain the 12 universal principles on which cosmic morality is based: a series of laws and ideals that unite any object, disturbance or wave in the universe and that dictate its behavior and nature.
The jewels are: knowledge, wisdom, understanding / freedom, justice, equality / food, clothes, shelter, / love, peace, happiness.
Every young inhabitant of Planet ٣٠٠٠ is educated in cosmic morality through a series of sonic lessons collected in 12 chapters called Cosmic Adaab."

Chapter 1 : Knowledge 

"the first thing that any being in the universe obtains by existing is knowledge, a self-determination as a free and independent reference system. Human beings call it “ cogito ergo sum"
