This is the  Greg Wilson & Derek Kaye radio radio mix, you can hear the radio version on YouTube:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=im7zHRJ9UBk

When hedonism took him to the brink of self-destruction many feared it would be the last they saw of Kermit Leveridge. However, the driving force in his life - writing lyrics - kept him going through his introspective recovery and when he was finally fit enough to return, he had amassed a wealth of material aching to break out of his countless notepads. 

Coming together with forward-thinking bass-maker, Luke EVM128, they channelled Kermit’s bottled up magic through Luke’s ‘Evermean’ beats to form the uplifting, life-affirming Blind Arcade. With an accessible but edgy balearic, somewhat psychedelic hip-hop sensibility with real depth and substance, it was clear they were on to something special. 

Drug addiction can chip away at the soul, leaving people bitter in the heart. Letting all the negativity out through his pen proved incredibly cathartic for Kermit, aiding his recovery and allowing him to move forward with a positive message.

This centred approach to negativity shines through the lyrics in Blind Arcade’s 'Give It Away', brought to life by the commanding voice of London-based songstress BB.JAMES and delicately supplemented by The Reynolds and Tracey Carmen. 

First appearing on the 'Blind Arcade Meets Super Weird Substance In The Morphogenetic Field' mixtape that catalysed the beginnings of the Super Weird Substance label, Give It Away brims with the soulful warmth and spine-tingling magic that connected with people as the mixtape spread across the sound-waves last summer and paved the way for the autumn ‘Happenings’ that swept across the UK.

Given a new lease of life with three brand new re-recorded versions to fit the label’s current direction, 'Give It Away' returns in the form of a sumptuous, slow-burning club dub, a deep and driving radio mix keeping the spirit of the original and a radio-friendly mellow vocal mix.

With their sights on an forthcoming album release through Super Weird Substance in 2016, Blind Arcade have expanded on the success of last year’s mixtape with more of the same serendipitous alchemy and a new and improved live show featuring Black Grape’s current backing band, which they rolled out at Festival Number 6 in Portmeirion - a highlight of a truly sensational twelve hour Super Weird Happening.

Written by Kermit Leveridge and EVM128, produced by Greg Wilson and mixed by Greg and Derek Kaye, the new versions of Give It Away feature Kieran O’Malley on strings, Ché Wilson on guitar and Gareth ‘Misterlong’ Bailey, Craig Crofton and Gary Alesbrook aka The Longhorns on brass - trombone, tenor sax and trumpet respectively.

Blind Arcade 'Give It Away' - Greg Wilson & Derek Kaye Radio Radio Mix

SWS008 - Kermit Leveridge & The Super Weird Society 'This Is The Last Time You'll See Me Here' the eighth release on the new Super Weird Substance label - release date November 06th 2015. 

Vinyl & Digital available here: http://bit.ly/SWS-008
Compilation CD available here: http://bit.ly/SWS-CD001

Having taken on Greg Wilson’s vision of 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' with aplomb, Kermit Leveridge decided to bring his own track into play for the follow-up release. Growing up in a Caribbean household, ska was a staple for Kermit, and Derrick Morgan’s easy skanking 'Seven Letters' was a record that particularly resonated.

Originally a soul track written and recorded by Ben E. King, 'Seven Letters' follows a series of love notes sent to his girl over a week, but with a response lacking, he ends up losing faith in the relationship and decides to go back home. The theme of ‘going back home’ had a particular significance in Kermit’s household growing up, with his parents often talking about ‘going back home’ to Jamaica.

Taking him back to childhood; mentally, emotionally and spiritually, 'Seven Letters' is one of those songs that’s been a constant in Kermit’s life, always looming in the back of his mind and re-emerging at times of relevance. Kermit had played with the idea of making a version of the track with Blind Arcade but it was put on ice as EVM128 was too busy with his studies to work on anything at the time.

On the back of some brilliant work he’d done with Greg Wilson, Kermit discussed the idea with Peza and was astounded when he received a robust demo of the backing track the very next day. Although Peza had taken the track in a slightly different direction than Kermit had previously intended, the new version had it’s own distinctive vibe and Kermit quickly set about finding the right lyrics to fit.

In this contemporary interpretation, Kermit’s decided enough is enough and he’s heading back home; his bags are packed, his boots laced up and he’s going down that long dusty road - this is the last time you’ll see him round here.

Having lent their vocal prowess to the first seven Super Weird Substance releases, the sublime singing capacity of The Reynolds and Tracey Carmen was a must on the eighth. Counterbalancing the staunch swagger of Peza’s dubwise programming, the trio’s mellow yet flavoursome backing vocals tie everything together.

EVM128 contributed with some ruff up sounds, helping with the track’s raw edge, most effective in Greg & Peza’s alternative ‘version’. Gareth ‘Misterlong’ Bailey adds to the melancholy via his mournful trombone, inspired by Rico from The Specials, who sadly died recently aged 80.

Welcome to the final episode from 2015 of the NDYD Radio Show. We finish this year with a very special guest who we have been a big fan of in 2015. None other than UK's Le Visiteur (@levisiteurmusic). He has been very busy lately with amazing releases from a variety of labels as you can see here:

We are honored that he took the time to give us this exclusive slamming mix. He sure seems to know our audience. As he describes it:

"I went to town on this one so rather than it just being a straight up DJ mix I tried to use the songs to tell a story throughout the mix so this mix is about Love, relationships, betrayal and ultimately redemption through music and clubbing"
