It was a joy to play the warm up set at Optimo's New Year's Day party in The Berkeley Suite earlier this month. The night started at 8pm (until 4am...so a long night) and the room took a while to get busy so I felt it was completely acceptable to veer into the stranger atmospheric territories of my record collection. By half an hour or so in, people had started arriving and dancing so things pick up around halfway through but I still keep the tempo down for a leisurely build. Artists featured include: Beige, Mauoq, Peter Power, C.P.I., Renaldo & The Loaf, Alek Lee, James Holden & Maalem Houssam Guinia, Froid Dub, Olta Karawane, Killing Joke, Mugwump, Girls Chat Room, CatCat, Alterleo, Lust Pattern, Ballistic Mystic, La Bottine Souriante & Legion Of Green Men, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Aiku. If you can't ID anything leave a comment and I'll answer asap. Peace! x

*~*~*~*~*~~**~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I want to make a pilgrimage
back to our homeland
of sand, blood, and ripened figs.

To unearth the garden I planted in another life
the roots of which might still cling
to their moorings in the earth,
even after this long storm of upheaval.

I want to whisper your forbidden name
unto the ears of the warm winds
that my voice might ride the gusts unto you,
break upon your back, and cause you to look up
and think of me as we walk the long path
back to one another.
By L.M. Browning - Upon the Desert Wind

Voglio fare un pellegrinaggio
di nuovo nella nostra patria
di sabbia, sangue e fichi stagionati.

Per portare alla luce il giardino che ho piantato in un'altra vita
le cui radici potrebbero ancora aggrapparsi
ai loro ormeggi nella terra,
anche dopo questa lunga tempesta di sconvolgimenti.

Voglio sussurrare il tuo nome proibito
fino alle orecchie dei venti caldi
che la mia voce possa cavalcare le raffiche fino a te,
rompersi sulle tue spalle e farti alzare lo sguardo
e pensa a me mentre percorriamo il lungo sentiero
di nuovo l'uno all'altro.
L.M. Browning - Sul vento del deserto
