This track is an experiment in musical perception. Apart from the opening and the last seconds of the Outro, the entire track is EXACTLY THE SAME as the original mix (https://soundcloud.com/geschwaetz-gmbh/bb-gg-mina-nomhlaba). However, the purpose of the first 38 seconds is to "train you" to hear the track in 3 beats per bar, rather than 4. After which you will probably not be able to shift your perception to hearing it in 4 beats per bar without the excertion of an excessive deal of attention and willpower. Unless, of course, you start the track randomly after the 38 second mark, in which case your perception of it being in either 3 or 4 could go either way, entirely depending on how you read the musical cues and signposts at that random point at which you started. Once you are hearing it in 4 again, it's difficult to shift your perception to 3 (and visa versa) without restarting the track from the beginning and "re-training" your ear/mind/internal pulse. Isn't it a funny ol' world...?

Do you hear these 2 tracks as 2 completely rhythmically different pieces? 

Or are we all just completely mad? 

Please let us know in the comments as these kind of things keep us up at night... B-) 

Personally, I see these 2 tracks as an analog to the human condition and our ongoing sociatal and political dilemma: individuals' perception of anything (among these: The Facts) is largely driven by how they are fundamentally "pre-set" in their understanding of reality/facts/the world/norms/ideologies. Once you are pre-set, even though there's clearly more than one way to view something, it is no small task to break out of that pre-set bias. 

I could imagine that in a room full of listeners, arguments could break out about who's perception is "correct", and more or less "woke", and whose perception dominates and holds sway over the rest of the group; while those in the opposite camps think the others mad, unserious, liars and subversives, then bloody-mindedly, derisively accuse them of suffering from Rhythm Derangement Syndrome; while a 3rd group knows that both aspects are legitament and worth considering, while wondering what's wrong with all of the others in that they must insist at being at odds with one another. 

People are so weird...

Thanks for your attention.

Now forget all of this.

Music Is My Sanctuary guest mix (Jul 2016)

In Hour 2 it's Nicolas Morant aka Nikitch a classically trained musician who has worked with Andreya Triana, Tambour Battant, Dj Cam, Grems, and Submotion Orchestra. His latest EP "All The Best" was released in November on Cascade Records and supported by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garner and LeFtO. He had this to say about his mix;
"This mix & selection includes tracks of what I’m digging most in music : harmony-driven, soulful and energy. You can catch « raw-pop » from Machinedrum, jazz-colored tune by the man Jameszoo in it, as much as wonky off-beat by Sixtus Preiss or even some of my own productions. Hope you’ll like it, Bless."

No. 14 is all about happy vibrations, or 'sunshine' music as I like to call it.

Shades of jazz-funk, smoky hip-hop beats, psychedelic tropical sounds, slo-mo chuggers, boogie and house vibes all sliced up and packed into 30 mins, so I hope this new mix puts that smile on your face wherever you are cuz after all, music is the best medicine. 
Stay positive and aware in these rather testing times.

< "Dean Chew is setting the standards in Singapore" - Gilles Peterson >

Earning praises from a worldwide range of selectors that include the likes of Dam-Funk, Tama Sumo, San-Soda, Mike Huckaby, Jamie XX and 2562, Dean aka the Funk Bast*rd (one half of the Cosa nostra duo and co-founder of Singapore-based label Darker Than Wax) has been tirelessly pushing and promoting an alternative expression of leftfield music through his widely eclectic and genre-bending sets. Being the main A+R and creative mastermind behind DTW, the label has flourished tremendously over  the past 5 years, cementing its place as one of the go-to labels out of South East Asia.

His musical selection, which traverses between a huge variety of musical genres like deep jazz, soul, funk, boogie, brazilian grooves, house, techno, breaks, hip hop and bass numbers have left many indelible marks on the dancefloors.

It’s no surprise then that he has played alongside some of the world’s finest like Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Kyle Hall, Lefto, Recloose, Gerd Janson, Basic Soul Unit, Linkwood, Norman Jay, Souleance, Pearson Sound, Krystal Klear, Tiger and Woods, Mike Huckaby, Seven Davis Jnr and most notably, warmed up for Dj Ez, Fourtet and Dam Funk.
His sets have also taken him around the world, playing most recently at Dimensions Festival in Croatia, various cities in Europe, Asia, and Brazil. In 2016, Funk B was also invited on BBC 1XTRA, Rinse RM, Radar Radio, and swung through the legendary Brownswood basement of Gilles Peterson with a 2-hour exclusive Worldwide FM mix. He is also a regular presenter on Gilles' Worldwide Fm, transmitting good vibes every 3rd Tuesday of the month.

Dean Chew always has something in the box that surprises. Just open those ears.
