Back then    
Mama was a seamstress 
IQ  mama was a genius
 week days she hardly ever  seamed stressed 
On Saturday 
She would Pickett  for the teamsters 

Beat @bradzilla

Wage war wage war 

        
WHY TRUMP HAD TO WIN IN THE STates?
WHY HILLARY had  TO RUN 
So BERNY Coun’t PLAY?
It’s burning my brain.
 Why’s human rights still a debate?
Who’s lives don’t matter? Why is this still a debate?

Why fentinal hit so hard 
Like oh my god
People dying like we live in Iraq.

Why solar so fresh on the scene 
Why tesla got eyes on mars 
But we can’t kick gasoline.
   
Why Alberta Got oil 
but no one gets paid? 
Why Africa rich as fuck  but be begging for aid. 

Why thousands have to sleep in the streets? 
Compassion’s collapsing.
but we’ve master 
lies and deceit. 

 That’s the disease 
Capital breeds 
Captives   of greed

Made to believe 
We need more than need.
and for these 
made to be sheep
Im begging for peace 
lets start planting some trees


Why black men 
 get pushed to be thugging 
Why the world better at  bombing than Hugging. 
Can you talk to your cousin. 

Why so many guns in sick hands
Freedom 

Mama was feinding
Dreaming 
West coast leaning 

Back then    
Mama was a seamstress 
IQ  mama was a genius
 week days she hardly ever  seamed stressed 
On Saturday 
She would Pickett  for the teamsters

James Holden played this ambient / other mix at a Speckle gathering last year.

He will share more like this on Fri 8 Dec 2023 in London. Info–> https://speckle.se/daw

This mix bears nearly three hours of winding explorations as James DJed for a lounge of interlocking bodies: 
–drifters in obscure motion and silent during a non-verbal hour.

There were paper and pens, so people wrote and drew to each other instead of talking. They would also mime, or speak with the body.

For December's event at Limehouse Town Hall, James will bring a fascinating set of ambients for dream or dance.

@syberkid, Inner Child Labour & @specklesound bring further textures on the night.

Myo (live)

If someone you love moves into a new home, give them a bunch of peonies to wish them luck in their new place. 

The second Love Letter to how we decorate/d Time, softerPLEASE 02 has been incubating next to 01 for nearly a year. This sibling is a little more flirty, slightly bashful, and pays homage to the concept of Home. 

What do we do when we thirst for firey fastness yet ground in tender, intentional slowness?

Is home in the moment you stop running and dance? Is home in our eyes? Is home The House? Is home in the Ancient familiar or is it in that exciting sense of newness? 

Maybe home is in the music. Maybe it's my body. Maybe it’s just everywhere if we want it to be…

Good thing humans can have multiple homes if we’re able and encouraged to tend to them. 

Honoring that Sacred thread between us, I’m playing the music I love. 

Here’s some of the music I love…

Mood Swings 4.1.24

As we all hunker down at home for survival from the Corona virus, I'm unable to get to the studio to do my usual live weekly radio show. So I've decided instead to record a weekly mix from home. Similar in style to Departures, featuring new and recent music, but selected and arranged to reflect some of the feelings we're all facing in these unprecedented times.

Like a lot of places, we're in the midst of a second lockdown here in the UK.  This combined with the damper, duller days of winter, is adding an extra level of challenge to staying motivated and upbeat through these difficult times.  I've designed this mix to encapsulate some of those slightly dark, muddy, unsettled feelings, and contrasted them with a few of the hazy touches of summer that I'm craving, that feel more like a distant dream at the moment.  If like me, you're feeling little low right now, then you might as well go with it but the hope is that the summery touches give you a lift and the mix leaves you in a better place at the end.  Stay positive, turn it up and enjoy...
