The first instalment out of the upcoming Blend Mishkin album Unity of
Opposites, Egyptian Love is a hypnotic, Arabic jazz-meets-Jamaican-ska
joint, laced with a psychedelic vibe and Andalusian modes.

Featuring no other than the talented BNC on vocals and the incredible Roots
Evolution band on the riddim, this first single perfectly sets the tone of what is
to follow.

“The brasses re-announce an Arabic theme and a soft-spoken, BNC (Jeff
Gonzales) sings plaintively. Blend Mishkin’s electronics take us into ethereal
places as we follow a seven-minute interlacing sound set. The control and
discipline of the band is evident here, the vocals do not dominate, nothing jars
us out of our dream, but we are merged, sucked into a web of sound evoking
something lost in the vast land of Egypt.”
-Dan Franck

Revolution Sounds Insintesi Remix

Déjà vu' world is ours : - feels like third world war is going on, soldiers from North Korea fighting Russia in Ukraine, Europe, Shahed`Iran killing civilians in Ukraine, North Korean and Chinese weapons are being used for world ` war, Déjà vu` peace not war. 

Déjà vu' world is ours

[Verse 1]
Long time gone, where the sun first rose,
On these lands where the ocean flows.
From Carib drum to sugar fields,
We stood strong, refused to yield.
The winds of change, they whispered loud,
Lift your heads, stand proud, stand proud!

[Chorus]
Oh, Kitts and Nevis, rise again,
Through the storm, through the rain.
The heart of the people, unbroken and free,
Together we shape our destiny.
Forward we march, hand in hand,
Future’s bright for our blessed land.

[Verse 2]
From the fortress strong on Brimstone Hill,
To the quiet streams where time stands still,
We’ve sailed the seas, we’ve climbed the peaks,
Built with courage, the strength we seek.
Now the call of tomorrow sings,
A world anew, where freedom rings.

[Chorus]
Oh, Kitts and Nevis, rise again,
Through the storm, through the rain.
The heart of the people, unbroken and free,
Together we shape our destiny.
Forward we march, hand in hand,
Future’s bright for our blessed land.

[Bridge]
See the children laugh, hear their dreams unfold,
Feel the fire burn, brighter than gold.
We write our story, chapter by chapter,
The past our roots, the future our rapture.
From the soil, from the sea, we grow,
With every step, we let the world know:

[Chorus]
Oh, Kitts and Nevis, rise again,
Through the storm, through the rain.
The heart of the people, unbroken and free,
Together we shape our destiny.
Forward we march, hand in hand,
Future’s bright for our blessed land.

[Outro]
Rise, my people, to the sky so blue,
Every dream, every hope, belongs to you.
Saint Kitts and Nevis, the journey’s begun,
Our time is now, we are the one.

Rising Beyond The Isles.

Brain Damage
«¡Ya no mas!»
(Jarring Effects/ L’autre distribution)

On Frédéric Péguillan's initiative, Brain Damage performs for the first time in Colombia, within Télérama Dub Festival in 2016. Over there, the encounter with Gatos Negros was decisive. For years, with unflinching dedication of Macky Ruff and La Gaitana, supported by budding or legendary artists, as well as by many socio- cultural coordinators, the collective has been engaged every day in some overlooked districts of Bogotá, towards deprived youths, representing the majority of the population. A common creation was immediately on the table, and fruitful studio sessions spontaneously popped with some of the most atypical artists of the city.
One year later, supported by Jarring Effects label this time, Martin Nathan returns to Bogotà within ‘France-Colombia Year’, with firm intention to bring the project to completion, far from the glitz, accompanied by Romain Etienne — photographer from Lyon-based Item Collective — for an original and subtle illustration of the adventure. New meetings happened during marathon studio sessions, to complete a dream team casting.
Pioneers like Javier Alerta Kamarada or Kontent Thug — who respectively first brought reggae and hip-hop in Colombia in the nineties —, and Jimena Angel — pop icon with a world-class voice, keen on traditional songs —, take turns in the recording booth, alongside with Macky Ruff and La Gaitana, themselves, for militant anthems. Numerous musicians also took part in the sessions : percussionists, trombonist, flautists, harp and marimba players, featuring an ancestral knowledge and a cultural diversity, characteristic of the country.
With this raw material, Martin Nathan returned to his own studio to finalize the project, prompting it into an unexpected direction, as he is used to, at odds with reggae and dub scene current trends that are crushed by UK influences, but also million miles away from electro-cumbia clichés flourishing here and there since a few years.
Yes. A new Brain Damage album is indeed what it is all about : the 14th, never really where expected, always swimming against the tide. Falsely lo-fi latin ballads, unlikely fusions between digital techniques and centuries-old traditions, polished aesthetics to highlight raw texts and incisive lyrics : all the ingredients are there for a new alien album, unique, telling about the constrast between the cultural treasures of a country and its everyday life harshness.

¡Ya no más!

Luna llena (feat. Jimena Angel)

A Lee Scratch Perry Production and Jack Frost staple, Cold Weather was released in 1972 on the album Double Seven. The band included guitarist Alva Lewis, organist Glen Adams and brothers Aston "Family Man" Barrett and Carlton Barrett, on bass guitar and drums respectively.
 When the Barrett brothers became Wailers with Bob Marley by 1972, Scratch brought in other top musicians to fill their void. The main Black Ark Upsetters became Boris Gardiner (bass), Mikey Richards, Sly Dunbar, Benbow Creary (drums), Earl "Chinna" Smith (guitar), Winston Wright (keyboards) and Keith Sterling (keyboards).
