Lyrics: 

Migratory Bird 
(Caluu Caley) 

the summer, shadowed, bows and backs away 
and the weight of autumn falls the leaves again.. 
and so it seems...  you too must leave.... 

a migratory bird you are 
who sets its mind on warmer climbs afar! 
and leaves behind... 
a heart resigned... 
to wait for you till winters gone... 
till rings on breeze of spring a light huzzah! 
Caluu Caley, Caluu Caluu, Caley 

and all the bloody boys cry “NO!” 
and plead unto their loves “don't go” 
for they all know that waitings slow... wherever... 
although we're spun around the sun... together... 

and all the birds of paradise they say; 
Calaa Calaa, Caluu, Caley 
Calaa Calaa - it rings so clear 
Caluu Caley - its lingers here 
Calaa Caley - I'm drawing near 
Caluu Caley - I'll wait my dear

Treasure Quest

It’s not your body I crave

Emorold Anthony Phillip was born on the 7th of July 1941 in a little place called Cherry Hill in Grenada. He came to Trinidad at the age of five, on a Carnival Monday. Philip lived at Long Circular Road, Bel Vue in the capital city of Port of Spain. He attend the Mucurapo Boys RC primary school and later spent one term / semester at a private secondary school before his father died and he was unable to continue paying the tuition.

Phillip would pass through a number of odd jobs before settling on a career as a calypsonian. From a short stint at a Printery on Marine Square, to an electrician, then a mechanic and most telling a tailor, for it is here he was exposed once more to the calypso music his father had weaned him on, the tailors always having their radios on in the background while they worked on their profession. He started his illustrious career in a Calypso tent by the name of the 'Big Bamboo', which was on Park Street in Port of Spain. The Calypso tent was for guys who couldn't get into the big tents The Calypsonians who performed then, were 'Skipper', 'Creator' ,'Lord Inventor', 'Conqueror', and 'Young Creole', some of the top Calypsonians. This was in 1961 and his name then, was not 'Valentino' but 'Robin'.

The Robin would get his new name in December of 1965 when after an audition at Kitchener’s Revue Calypso tent, he announced to the gathering that he had no name, another calypsoninan having appropriated the name Robin earlier that year. Thus it was the great Lord Kitchener who bestowed the name Lord Valentino on Phillip. Later in the 1970’s during the revolutionary days of the Black Power movement, he would change his name to Brother Valentino. It was during this period too that fellow calypso stalwart, five time national monarch, the Black Stalin would give him the title ‘the People’s Calypsonian’.

Though only three times a national monarch finalist (and never winning the coveted crown) he would become the true spokesman for the people , the true opposition, the voice of conscience. His hits over the years include the immortal Life is a stage (1972), Barking Dogs (1974), Dis place Nice (1975), the best selling ‘Stay up Zimbabwe’ (1979), Birds that fly high (1982, Time and Space (1986),) Calypso in Trouble (1992) Time to love again (1996), The Radio (2001) and Where Kaiso went (2004) Valentino, now a veteran among calypso bards, is enjoying his second marriage, this time to former national netball played Peggy Castanada. He continues to be a role model for the new generation of younger singers who see him as the epitome of social consciousness, a direct descendant of the great chantwells of yesteryear – Executor, Atilla, Tiger and the beat goes on & on & on.

Brother Valentino - Stay Up Zimbabwe (Rafael Cancian Re-Edit)

Beatnik City rolls it’s sleeves up, slowly dips it’s strong hands in a bowl of resin, then a bowl of haribo tangtastics, turns towards us and beckons us on for battle…but wait! Beatnik City is a lover, not a fighter! And this is Northern Beats Volume 2, which means only sunshine funshine and hijinks will ensue

Turns out the resin and haribo were for Aldo Vanucci’s vajazzle, who knew Hiphoppapotamus and Shimi Sonic owned their own sparkly sweets beauty parlour? DJ Ozyboy was in earlier for back sack and Caramac, Leygo is in room one having his Brazilian nuts, Badboe is in room two having a candy necklace - we’re pretty sure that is definitely porn. Superfort is early for his dirty herbert sherbet dib dab and Daytoner is in the toilet having a Curly Wurly, we’d best leave him to it. F-Block is having his hair set a fantastic candy floss pink and Retro the Robot is just smashing everything up with a giant rubber mallet, he’s been hitting the space dust quite hard and is likely expecting everything to explode into skittles.

Willy Wonka would most definitely approve of this kind of behaviour, taste the rainbow!

Review: 

62 collections deep and still blazing up any party in a 1000 mile radius; Katakana deliver yet another fun and funk-fuelled package. All laced with a heavy rhythmic theme, attention to groove detail is paid throughout as we're treated to range of classic and deeply dug edits. "Galaxy" sets the tone with a sleazy strutting war cry before we're hurled into a Latin frenzy on both the sultry "Camina" and the bull-fighting "Descarga". Elsewhere "Leroy Loves Ya" brings the soulful touch and "JB World" closes with a little psychedelic mystique.

Though an experienced beat maker, until now Drop is best known in funk and soul circles as one quarter of The Expansions and for elevating rhythm sections as live drummer for Andrew Ashong, The Gene Dudley Group (Wah Wah 45s) and more.

He has a record collection most would be jealous of. Diverse but firmly rooted in soul, as anyone at his vinyl-only DJ residencies in the capital will testify.

“A really talented musician, absolutely loving that” Lauren Laverne on This Is The One, BBC Radio 6 Music 

All This Trouble - Beat Of The Week - The Huey Show BBC Radio 6 Music 

“The Only Sound represents the finest in musicianship, composition and modern electronic skills and shows that this beat-maker is about a whole lot more and has the chops to prove it.” Beatselector Magazine 
“The Only Sound updates what has gone before in consistently interesting ways.” God Is In The TV 

“Exquisitely recorded downtempo hip hop-ready beats, but it’s as much knee-deep in jazz” The Arts Desk 

“Fans of Ninja Tunes, Mo Wax, St Germain and DJ shadow need to check this out, tight production throughout, a beat selection that’s simply infectious, guest vocals and crate dug samples blended to perfection, it’s a lush musical journey for those hot summers days or a warm chilled out evenings.” Backseat Mafia 

A special Christmas treat from Jonny Drop and Albert's Favourites, to round off a big 2018 for both parties. Among The Stars is brand new, unreleased material from the same sessions that brought together The Only Sound. 

Downtempo, atmospheric goodness to wrap you up nice and warm. Bass tones meet swirling electronics underpinned by a classic, Sub Plot style vocal sample and Jonny's trademark beats. 

“I can talk about how great this album is all day, but in all truth what everyone needs to do is to listen to it and transport yourself in Jonny Drop’s colourful world.” In Search Of Media
