Jamie Rhind - 2023 Recordings

Cold Combo--hot is lava cold as ice

You can’t go wrong if you leveled up double down 
if you leveled up double down—-and keep it going just for fun
You can’t go wrong if you leveled up double down 
if you leveled up double down—-and keep it going just for fun(X2)

Years gone by still doing  me naturally 
in this maze of confusion ——can’t follow blindly 
somewhere deep inside I find my reality 
still a dream ain’t nothing —-but a fantasy
but believe me I’m the master of my own destiny
breaking the mold is like hitting the state lottery 
A visionary in plain sight for all to see 
Screw the copycats —-mimics—- and wannabes

Next level feed the hype let it sink in 
and I bet you connect with what I’m thinking 
I ain't crazy I ain’t high and I ain’t drinking 
bitch I’m fresh and on the grind like I’ve been Pimping 

next level hype this as I sink into this mix 
hits several don’t miss like a guided rocket ship
flexing finesse coming through legit
And I ain’t satisfied till the track is lit

Throw a flag on the play—— it’s out of bounds 
yeah —I feel your concern cause —-I’m world renowned 
morning —day —noon— and night —I’ve been getting down 
with the levels I’ve display—-for oh so long 
hot is lava cold as ice —-and it’s all said and done—with precision on the mic
check to turn around 
tear the roof down pump it up ——sound on sound 
still repping to this day ——-the deep underground

un—-con—ditional —-always———— original———————-
turn up the volume——-crank it up —and—-listen y’all
———and if you’re feeling the groove let’s——get physical—-
it’s in the culture————not—- stereo—-typical 
carving up —-this track—almost———surgical…
and my nature is on the rise—————yeah ———vertical
Better vibes———————-real —appeal——that’s —-all notable
Higher highs ——that’s the deal cause it’s ——-- magical 
Ride the tide———keep it real——that’s devotion y’all 
Vibing off—-how I feel————that's——-incontrovertible

Cool Combo

As  Christmas approaches, this feels like the right time to share this reworking of a traditional Sami Joik song (a form of chanted folk song from Lapland).
The vocalist is Inga Susanne Heatta, and the original unaccompanied chant was recorded in the early 1950's by Wolfgang Laade and Dieter Christensen . On hearing it for the first time I was struck by the beauty of the piece, which is described as "A welcome to the Lappish communities". I felt compelled to have a go at adding some accompaniment and hopefully it serves to enhance the soulful beauty of the original.
Like many indigenous populations, the Sami people have suffered hostility and discrimination from the wider communities of the countries where they live and we can only hope that appreciation and understanding will win out over prejudice in the long run.

A Sami welcome

Sometimes a little step is needed.  And sometimes a bigger step.  But keep moving forward.

 Little Steps reached #15 on SoundCloud's Hot and New category in Jazz & Blues

Little Steps - Jamie Rhind

Some of the best music currently and historically comes out of England. I am a huge fan of Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Genesis, Traffic, and many more. Even though I live in the U.S., my favorite radio station has been BB6 in London for the last 15 years. The Peel Sessions are fantastic.

Isleworth is a suburb of London. Within this song, listen for the background hum of WWII bomber aircraft. Isleworth certainly took some hits during the invasion.

Thank you for listening!

Firstly a big thanks to Shane of Harmful If Swallowed for agreeing to do do this male duet. It’s a first for me and probably for him, so a very interesting concept. It’s been a song that’s been hanging around a while just waiting for the right type of vocalist to agree. I am a great admirer of Shane’s work because of his fine lyrics and interpretations of real life. 
The song Elephant In The Room was wrote over five years ago with my son Owen  who would of been around 18 at the time. He had got into playing guitar and dabbling in song writing so my role was helping him with melody and lyrics. 
It’s a song I always thought had great potential and as I wasn’t that active in music myself at the time only a raw acoustic version existed.
This version is what we used as a sketch and Noobly transformed it into a full blown production. Seriously Noobly is a real talent and absolute pleasure to work with so respect to him.
There as been slight lyric changes but the melody is the same.
The song is about to close friends sitting in one of their living rooms in silence. There is an elephant in the room for both of them because a serious matter is not being discussed and neither of them are opening the conversation. The one  as done something really bad to the other so use your imagination.
The conversation is only happening inside their heads so hence a male duet of thoughts.
Hope you enjoy the song as much as we did creating it.

Lyrics (IPG1)

This that acid drop—- mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not ——if the time stops——
and the clock refuse to TikTok
Full throttle—speeding-roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck
Tie dye—-sandals ——dreadlocks
Woodstock —type ——Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt
my brain ——become a hotspot
Am I human——Am I God——
preparing for ——-the aftershock
the aftershock——-the aftershock
Hell yeah———— and why not ——it’s still that purple
microdot—-microdot—— microdot

Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma —-come on let’s go
The moves —-without Ego
The smile —-or the combo
It’s good times —-and Convo
Cant avoid it—-so you want some more
The allure —-of an outlaw (X3)

Guitar riffs and jazz lines ——like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines——I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine——Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align——You know I’mer get mine
time stop ———-brain cells begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot

God status—-here we go at last—-
from the bottom to the top —break that hour glass——
So why you think your teeth are shattering ———so damn fast
It a personal experience—-a one man class
No sleep for those who know ———-the afterglow
Are Y’all ready for the show—Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish—-and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made —-for love—-that—— purple microdot
This that aftershock—-that aftershock—that aftershock
From that acid drop ———Mind corrupt —Mind corrupt
time stop ———-brain cell begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot —-From that purple microdot

——Chorus ——

Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics—-rhythm tunes—-desire
Made to Pierce your soul ——like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of ——forget me Nut
Left-brain—right track—it’s called —-purple microdot
And you know I’ll be here—— from —-time to time
Fucking with your mind ————at the drop of a dime
Underground—-under the tongue—-paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit ya

Guitar Rhapsody (Guitar solo)

This one's for you Santi...
Two months ago our dear and wonderfully talented friend and musician Santi Caballero Mendez was killed in a tragic motorcycle accident in his hometown of Barcelona.  Sam and I had recorded over 50 tunes together yet we had never spoken.  To honor Santi, we have created our tribute Missing You - with 17 different musicians around the world who had recorded with Sam in my music.  The music brings out so many emotions for me, sadness, joy, passion, playfulness, and of course the incredible latin spirit.   Each section of the piece has different musicians, and so many musicians appear and reappear throughout the piece - but often with different supporting casts.  In the end, a moving tribute from so many of Soundcloud's very finest.  Thank you all for joining in as we honor Santi - and thank you Santi...we're Missing You:

Make the most of your Day Off!  This one's a fun original with wonderful playing and interaction.  I'm joined by Georg Boehme on baritone sax, Stephan Lipinski on guitar and Sergio Parraga on congas.  Stick through the end for some great soulful grooving.  Georg's r&b comes out here with such soulful sounds on the baritone, Pinner's high energy guitar and Sergio's stellar conga beats.
