The Awakening

Si tu crois que ça va mal
Et que rien n'est bon
Vas y, Sors de l'ombre

Refrain
(Il y a toujours une lumières )
Crois en des jours meilleurs
(Il y a toujours une lumières) 
Elle est là
(Il y a toujours une lumières) 
Regarde

Couplet
Sinon, où iras-tu ?
(Sans raison d'espérer)
Y a rien à raconter 

Refrain
(Il y a toujours une lumières )
Crois en des jours meilleurs
(Il y a toujours une lumières) 
Elle est là
(Il y a toujours une lumières) 
Regarde

Couplet
(Elle est là)
Regarde
(Regarde)

Refrain
Regarde, à la frontière
(Il y a toujours une lumières) 
Elle est là
(Il y a toujours une lumières )
Regarde

Guy, Tom and Brendan aka. Customs are an integral part of the London record-collecting and DJ-ing scene. Last year, you may have listened to them spinning (and spectacularly beat-matching)their incredibly engaging sound at one of their regular appearances at Giant Steps and Brilliant Corners, or maybe you even made it down to XOYO, when the trio was invited by Hunee to join for his residency. 

Customs also regularly throw their own parties at a secret loft space in North-East London. Always careful to support a younger generation of DJs, guests have included the Phaser Boys (residents from Düsseldorf's recently re-opened Salon des Amateurs) and French collective Bruts De La Passion. If you prefer a dash of chit-chat to the music, you can also listen to them as occasional guests on Charlie Bones' NTS breakfast show.

For 5918mins., the trio puts together a sound that may be described as "London-Drip" - in the rainy-wet sense of the word. A mix very much oriented towards the influence Dub/Digi-stuff had on 90s London rave culture, with wonderful half-time/double-time seminal Jungle/Drum-n-Bass elements perfectly curated for the rainy season. 

One may be forgiven to sense a wee bit of nostalgia, as this mix - to Customs - perfectly captures some of the different sides of their musical upbringing within the UK-scene. ("And playing GTA III at home listening to Moving Shadow")
