Ibibio Sound Machine are set to release their debut LP through Soundway Records. Fronted by British / Nigerian vocalist Eno Williams, they combine elements of West African highlife, disco, post-punk & psychedelic electro soul. Preceded by the pulsating first single 'Let's Dance', ‘Ibibio Sound Machine’ will be released 17th March.

Folk stories, recounted to Eno by her family as a child in her mother's South-Eastern Nigerian Ibibio language form the creative lyrical fabric of the album. A large dose of electronic elements and an approach as influenced by London as much as by West Africa, give the vocals and guitar lines space to breath without being overwhelmed.

From the banging sub-bass of 'Lets Dance' to the spiritual, gospel-tinged notes of the album's opening track 'Voice of the Bird', the band have turned in a dynamic and, at times, beautiful take on modern afro-soul music.

The 8-piece live band made their official live debut at this year's Transmusicales in France and will be a name to look out for in 2014.

First up ist the titletrack „Damals“, remixed by none other than german wonderboy Rampue, who has taken german dancefloors by storm with his epic journeys into emotional, low tempo discohouse. His current effort is no different, clocking in just under 100 bpm, slowly building tension over a pulsating tribal beat and widescreen synths.

Poem: D.H. Lawrence (revisited by Xe Sands)
Naration: Xe Sands (https://soundcloud.com/xe_sands
Music: D.Ramler

From 'New Poems' (1916).

Since this is the last night I keep you home, 
Come, I will consecrate you for the journey. 

Rather I had you would not go. Nay come, 
I will not again reproach you. Lie back 
And let me love you a long time ere you go. 
For you are sullen-hearted still, and lack 
The will to love me. But even so 
I will set a seal upon you from my lip, 
Will set a guard of honour at each door, 
Seal up each channel out of which might slip 
Your love for me. 

 I kiss your mouth. Ah, love, 
Could I but seal its ruddy, shining spring 
Of passion, parch it up, destroy, remove 
Its softly-stirring crimson welling-up 
Of kisses! Oh, help me, God! Here at the source 
I'd lie for ever drinking and drawing in 
Your fountains, as heaven drinks from out their course 
The floods. 

 I close your ears with kisses 
And seal your nostrils; and round your neck you'll wear-- 
Nay, let me work--a delicate chain of kisses. 
Like beads they go around, and not one misses 
To touch its fellow on either side. 

And there 
Full mid-between the champaign of your breast 
I place a great and burning seal of love 
Like a dark rose, a mystery of rest 
On the slow bubbling of your rhythmic heart. 

Nay, I persist, and very faith shall keep 
You integral to me. Each door, each mystic port 
Of egress from you I will seal and steep 
In perfect chrism. 

Now it is done. The mort 
Will sound in heaven before it is undone. 

But let me finish what I have begun 
And shirt you now invulnerable in the mail 
Of iron kisses, kisses linked like steel. 
Put greaves upon your thighs and knees, and frail 
Webbing of steel on your feet. So you shall feel 
Ensheathed invulnerable with me, with seven 
Great seals upon your outgoings, and woven 
Chain of my mystic will wrapped perfectly 
Upon you, wrapped in indomitable me. 


Seven Seals (feat. Xe Sands)

Let Go

The Very Best - Let Go

The 2nd single to be released from 'Prisoner'.

Trycolour

Did this at college some years ago...

Sounds a bit rough in places now, but still got a lot of life. I like what I did by double tracking the girl's voice. If I were to mix it again I'd add a bit more compression to give her a bit more oomph. 
Still love that bass! 

Sorry about the long tail-out.

Vessels - The Sky Was Pink

taken from upcoming album "People" (BB*Island / Shellshock UK release Feb.10th 2014)

The Burning Hell is the alter-ego of songwriter and ukulele-slinger Mathias Kom. Loosely based in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, The Burning Hell has toured back and forth across Canada and Europe since 2007, playing everywhere from festivals to bars to living rooms - and once even a mental asylum in rural France. The band has garnered acclaim for their hyperactive live shows and their caustic yet sincere lyrics, believing as they do that songs about the inevitability of death can also be fun to dance to.

In 2012, The Burning Hell both made AND broke a record: the band recorded their newest album 'People' (2013, BB*Island; UK Feb 2014) in Berlin at studio villlaqrella with producers Norman Nitzsche and Ramin Bijan; later in the summer, The Burning Hell set a new world record, playing ten shows in ten countries in less than 24 hours. But the band isn't tired yet, and following to a busy Euro-schedule in 2013, also 2014 promises to be action-packed.

THE BURNING HELL - Amateur Rappers

Just for fun, playing around with The Grand 2 on my ProTools setup.
Jarre's early music always makes me think of being at the seaside, and Oxygene particlularly with being on the pier at Jaywick On Sea.
Enjoy.
