Brand new jam I produced with my funk brother K+Lab over the last year. Much respect to your vocalist David Andrews and our horn player Mike Snow. 

The lyrics are about the weight of the pandemic on our careers and how much we miss partying with all of you guys, can't wait for us to all be back together again!

Lyrics

No shows, the crowd that glows
I feel the weight, I feel the weight now
No shows, the crowd that glows
I feel the weight, my friends and it's funked up.

Take the pressure off these bones
Take the stage and I'm not alone
Feel the pressure build with time
The release will blow your mind

I feel the weight, I feel the weight now
I feel the weight my friends and it's funked up, yeah it's funked up

PAROLES
MARINA P
And so the legacy let’s talk about the legacy
just two months spring 1871
People want social changes, and they make them real
People want social changes following the ideal
Cooperatives set up, people running their things,
for all the workers the same dignity
no president, no mayor, no commander in chief
no church, no state, more and more relief
It’s this legacy that we lean on
Men and women on the front
No more children at work
Free school, free clothes, free food for them all

REFRAIN
It’s a long road for the revolution 
Dubamix plays for emancipation 
No time to waste in the confusion
Remove ya with your reaction

NADA
Le drapeau rouge
L’horreur que la foule vous inspire et l’odeur de la poudre
Bourgeois, voleurs de labour
Le prolétaire s’invite au cœur de la cour
C’est notre heure
Nos peurs s’éparpillent dans le Paris des barricades et des canons
Sache que les camarades et les damnés de la terre sont tous passés à l’action

Brûlez les bâillons
On a arrêté de répéter la messe
L’obscurantisme fait place à la fête
On investit l’église et sans payer la quête
Fédéré à la tête de la production. C’est la révolution !
On a les solutions loin des salons : démocratisation et gratuité d’l’ éducation

Les friqués ont flippé face à la grande revanche des humiliés.
Ils n’ont pas su anticiper. Gardons en nous la mémoire des fusillés.
Car la commune est vivante dans nos quartiers, nos cœurs, nos ZADs et nos aigreurs.
Que crève le vieux monde et sa laideur
Quand est ce qu’on crâme le Sacré-Cœur ?

REFRAIN

DROWNING DOG 
Commune (3)
Collective remember 
We need each other
Respective autonomy
Long journey
Know it well
Dusty road 
with Louise Michel
They’re hiding 
in Versailles again
They starve our children
Kill our friends
Carry on tradition 
Waves of resistance
Always been
Always be
Free humanity
If thats our 
priority 
We find 
a way
Putain
enchante
Death to monoculturing
Long live diversity
Its still
bread and knowledge 
for all us
We harvest
cultivate
ideas don’t die
hibernate
waiting for us
to take
continuate
thats Paname
anger restless
fear loathing
caring learning
fucking growning
trusting building
hating loving
creating
Now she’s breathing

REFRAIN

L’1CONSOLABLE
Artisans, ouvriers, et tous les oubliés, que ces bourges pillaient sans jamais sourciller,
[Les autres] sous-payés, surveillés, soumis et sur les dents pour le billet qui les faisait tous plier,
Le groupe qui étreint ceux qui souffrent, liés, est le meilleur des boucliers contre leurs droits tous niés,
Marre de se faire houspiller et d’avoir la frousse, crier «Houste!», le drapeau rouge hissé, tous ligués pour se libérer !
18 mars : les parigots fâchés tiendront tête aux armées, les canons seront gardés !
28 mars : la Commune proclamée, 2 mois se passent, enflammés, du mois de mars au mois de mai !
Autogestion dans les ateliers, plus question de patron ni d’être employé,
Fin de l’obligation de payer son loyer, révocabilité de tous les mandatés !
L’école est publique, gratuite et laïque, La Commune sépare vite le religieux de l’étatique,
les étrangers admis citoyens, le programme qu’on imagine pour la suite était déjà entamé !
Se passant à Paris 150 ans dans le passé, au final c’est le bain de sang et les corps entassés,
Mais les Communards vivent encore dans nos mémoires, vives, ravivent l’espoir d’une victoire et ne se rendront jamais !

Mamaletta (aka Mariletta Konstantara) is an MC-singer-songwriter from Athens, Greece. She spent a decade in the U.S. where she studied composition and arrangement, and worked as a performer playing her Hip-Hop, Reggae, Jazz, Soul and World music, live, and recording with bands from 2006 till 2015.

She now presents you with her Debut Album “A Better Place” with full production by Kill Emil, a DJ and producer also based in Athens, Greece -by way of Brazil- who since 2009, has created a very interesting and diverse discography of powerful beats and endless chill vibes.

The Album “A Better Place” is composed of 10 tracks, songs talking about Gratitude, Acknowledgement, Justice, Love, Hope, Solutions, and New Beginnings! Hip-Hop meets Reggae, Dub, Dancehall and Drum n’ Bass, so it’s both relaxing and explosive at the same time!
Highlights on this new release include the ‘trippy’ yet grounded “Problems”, the powerful “Dear Law”, the mantra of empowerment “Acknowledge the Power”, and of course, “A Better Place” itself carries a calm yet unbreakable force!

With Kill Emil’s magic music production, and Mamaletta’s unique voice we are all guaranteed to go to a place out far...and then back to ours, to keep trying as much as we can to make it A Better Place.

O logras ser feliz con poco, liviano de equipaje, porque la felicidad está adentro tuyo, o no logras nada. Esto no es una apología de la pobreza, esto es la apología de la sobriedad.

Pero como hemos inventado una sociedad de consumo, consumista y la economía tiene que crecer. Porque si no crece es una tragedia.

Inventamos una montaña de consumo superfluo y lo que estamos gastando es tiempo de vida. La única cosa que no se puede comprar es la vida. La vida se gasta.

6 ans après leur opus « Pour qui sonne le Dub » et des centaines de concerts, Dubamix revient avec un 4ème album à l’internationalisme retentissant, en s’entourant de nombreux invités : “Camarades”. Plus qu’un titre, c’est un mot qui s’entend comme un lien universel entre les luttes émancipatrices du passé et d’aujourd’hui.

Dubamix impulse ainsi un nouveau souffle à des hymnes intemporels grâce à la présence d’une dizaine de chanteuses et chanteurs d’univers différents issus de la scène Reggae/Dub (Marina P, Mal Elevé de Irie Révoltés, Lengualerta, Daman) ou du rap conscient (Drowning Dog, L’1consolable, Stratégie de Paix, …) voire même du rock libertaire (Joke, Fred Alpi).

Des instrumentistes à l’instar de la violoniste Mathilde Febrer (Sanseverino, Henri Salvador, …) ou du percussionniste Bongo Ben (The Ligerians, Roots Raid) se joignent également à la piste de danse pour renforcer la force collective de ce nouvel album rythmé par les incontournables samples de Dubamix (Richard Strauss, Rachid Taha, Galt MacDermot, Ennio Morricone, Bronski Beat,...).
Dubamix tisse ainsi une toile apatride qui s’étend du rocksteady à la cumbia en passant par de la trap ou de la folk le tout soudé par le tempo implacable de l’electro dub et la force subversive de la musique contestataire. 

Rentrez dans la danse subversive des Camarades !

Politics of Greed ft. Kromanauts
by Omegaman
FKX131 - Fort Knox Recordings

Out Worldwide Friday August 14th, 2020:
https://orcd.co/politicsofgreed

“Caught with your hands in the cookie jar, and now you wanna go and start a war”. As if 2020 hasn't been challenging enough, all over the globe the Politics of Greed are all too common, on every continent. It's time to stand up to these corrupt politicians whose agendas are dictated by pharmacological and petrochemical corporations, and the military-industrial complex they serve. Enough is enough!

Australian producer Omegaman has teamed up with the Kromanauts of Washington, DC to create a timely protest anthem. The message is delivered via a funky reggae tune built with fat, punchy drums that really set the pace. Omegaman himself laid down a dubby bass-line, which Marty Fabok of Allniters & Ozskas augments nicely with his skankin' guitars. Enter the Kromanauts, and up first is Kush el-Amin who adds more fresh guitar chords and licks. And of course there's Kanjia Kroma aka Juku, who adds his piercing lyrics and smooth flow to round out the track.

Included with the release is a steppin' drum'n'bass remix by Bristol based producer Waggles, and its just perfect! Precise drum programming is joined by booming basslines that roll out for the duration of the track. The uptempo d&b vibes are perfect for Juku's vocals, and the result is a firing ragga jungle tune that will do damage to any dancefloor. Instrumentals of both tracks are also included.

“The time is now to stand up and fight back against the systematic corruption in our governments. To stare down and call out the face of hypocrisy, lies and greed. Once and for all….”

Omegaman | Politics of Greed ft. Kromanauts

Over three years in the making, ZIK ZAK is an African musical odyssey, featuring some of the freshest talent from nine countries on the mother continent. Tying this remarkable range of artists together are German production team ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS, weaving the vocal talents of the African singers into their distinctive “Boom Dub” sound. Drawing on Hip Hop, Dancehall, Roots Reggae, Bass Music, Soul, Electronica and Breakbeat, the production incorporates live instruments and musical influences from all over Africa and its diaspora. 

The concept behind all these tracks is ZIK ZAK (“Zig-Zag” in English), mapping out each artist’s life of tragedy and success, in a context of global inequality and ruthless capitalism. This album responds to the urgent need to understand the daily struggle for survival by creative artists and musicians from the global south. Each artist gives a unique voice to their rocky way through the contemporary African landscape, revealing a new perspective from a different city, country, religion, and ideology. This is ZIK ZAK.

It's easy to forget how much harder it is for artists and musicians to survive away from the relative comfort of the richer parts of the world. In Africa, employment levels are shockingly low and the welfare state non-existent, so that most artists live in a state of constant precariousness, with nothing to fall back on when the music industry fails to pay. Yet the mainstream African music industry constantly feeds us a capitalist wet dream, with fantastical images of artists living a “bling-bling” lifestyle of fast cars, swimming pools and supermodels with inflated chests. The artists featured on ZIK ZAK have all rejected this preposterous mythology, instead bringing us real messages from their everyday lives, demonstrating more talent, creativity and authenticity in a single album, than in a lifetime of over-produced, commercial music videos.

In ZIK ZAK, particular focus is on the intense and vibrant scene in Uganda, where local, mutant forms of Afrobeats and Dancehall have evolved away from the more familiar, globalized products of Nigeria and Jamaica. ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS established a base and partnership with local studio East African Records, allowing them to dig deep in the wells of talent in Uganda’s capital, Kampala. Elsewhere, they established friendships and musical relationships with enlightened artists as far afield as Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Burkina Faso, Togo, Guinea and Senegal, in many cases meeting the artists in person. DOGU, the DJ of ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS, toured East Africa twice with artists on the album, spreading the gospel of ZIK ZAK across festivals, clubs and bars in the region. Even in their hometown of Cologne, the production team engage with diaspora artists, recording the percussion for ZIK ZAK with the African drummers and percussionists of DOGU´s party series Family Affairs Cologne – Afro Urban Club Session. 

The ZIK ZAK project has provided these underground African artists an opportunity to reach a new worldwide audience, building on the success of ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS. 

For the ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS, this new album is an important project both musically and ideologically. In their own words: “With ZIK ZAK, we want to give a platform to young talents from Africa that are too good to ignore – they must be heard internationally. Africa is our motherland too, in the end. Civilization comes from Africa and that´s where rhythm comes from. After too many years of slavery and exploitation of the African countries, it is time to shine light on the great talent of Mother Africa.”

Dj and production duo Ancient Astronauts have announced the release of their latest single, ‘Photoshop Reality feat. BANTU’ on the 27th of November. The single is taken from their groundbreaking Afro-European album ZIK ZAK, which will be released on the 22nd of January 2021 via Switchstance Recordings and features a variety of rising African musicians. The album was preceded by the noteworthy Kampala Fire EP. BANTU is a 13-piece award-winning band based in Lagos, Nigeria. Lead by Ade Bantu, they have won the Kora Awards for Best Group West Africa and Best Group Africa and have received support from The Guardian and Music In Africa.

BANTU pride themselves in striving to create critical social commentary with their music, sending messages via music and inspiring people around the globe. Leader of the band, Ade Bantu’s lyrics focus on the entrapment of minds within social media and how the platforms can distort our perceptions of reality. Deep, masculine vocals dominate the single, however light and modern production style prevent them from overwhelming the listener - instead entrancing them into a rhythmic joyousness. 

Speaking of the single, Ancient Astronauts tell us: “Our music always had a serious and conscious touch to it cause we believe that music can, and should, have a positive and thought-provoking effect. Ade´s lyrics in ‘Photoshop Reality’ really nail it when you think about today´s situation when it comes to social media, and Instagram in special. People trying to act like they made it, presenting themselves in the best way they can, overplaying reality, photoshoping not only their photos but their existence. It became a world of boasting and pretending things that don´t match reality. It feels as if people wanna escape reality through social media and luxury goods cause reality is too harsh for them. But then they don´t find their way back to reality. So they live in that Photoshop Reality.”

In Mazunte, January 8, 2018. During a getaway on the Mexican Pacific coast, El Gato Negro, the eternal adventurer, meets a new fortune friend, Don Mescal, another traveler of modern times and co-founder of Montreal label Cosmovision records. During a Mayan ceremony, Don Mescal is struck by a cosmic illumination: he hears, embraces and feels the feline entities coming from the sky… At dawn, he understands that the album remix of the exotic black cat had to come to life.
Back in Quebec and to reality, Mescal quickly opens his doors to bring together the greatest gurus of the world-tropical scene. To orchestrate his vision, he welcomes artists from Argentina, Canada, Venezuela, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Guatemala, under the benevolent eye of Guts.
