during the lockdown i was blown away by these 2 dialogues/ lectures online .
firstly the indian mp shashi tharoor discussing the british colonisation of indian and its many impacts and implications .
the second is the economist mallance bart-williams who is of sierra leonean and german descent giving some facts about the european (and general world) abuse of the resources of the african continent .
we are in very interesting times , hope there is some grace in the ethers to help our species step up and evolve .

its the ONLY fair COP (reparations ARE owed)

bey on a white label dubstep track (played on 45) from a while ago .

i wish i knew what the instrumental is to credit it but it was a white label ... that bassline at double speed tho ... lovely 

 i like it .

over xmas a talented artist called derek piotr mailed asking for a little advice

we discussed the issue of auto tune and i said how i wasn't such a fan

so last week i am doing a bootleg with an awesome old grime track by maniac called 'classic' and the only way the ciaira main verse vox worked was by using …. auto tune !!

strange but true

so thank u mr piotr for reminding me about the benefits of auto tune
