Tropical BBQ 8 - Reggae Got Soul

Presenting the first of three choice chunks of our Kings Day DJ set in Amsterdam this year. (Kings Day, if you don't know, is a national holiday in NL during which the whole place turns decidedly orange, drinks a whole lot of beer and goes nuts.) 

For the last few years, as part of the festivities, we've been hosting a little secret location sound system party during which we can cut loose and play an extended DJ set covering a whole bunch of bases - sometimes with friends guesting, sometimes (like this year) flying solo for the whole day, dropping as many solid personal favourites as we can along the way, natuurlijk.... 

So here's the first chunk, from early in the day, warming things up with a soulful, skanking, boom-bapping selection of edits, remixes, favourites and classics - hope you enjoy!

Download will pop up in a couple of weeks on the mailing list: https://kleptones.com/pages/contact.html

Or you can get it right now (along with Part 2 & 3 of this mix) if you become one of our awesome support team - Join up on Patreon or Liberapay, and become one of the folks that always gets everything (and more) way before anyone else...

Kings Day Amsterdam 2025 (Part 1)

Hey there, back again with the 2nd chunk from our Kings Day DJ set in Amsterdam this year, this time from mid-way through the day, heading from jazzier soulful sounds into more solid 4-4 territory, mixing some quality oddball grooves from around the world alongside a serious helping of classics and favourites - hope you enjoy!

Kings Day Amsterdam 2025 (Part 2)

Hey there, returning once more with the 3rd and final chunk from our Kings Day DJ set in Amsterdam this year, this time a couple of hours from right near the end of the day, so everything's getting decidedly ravey, but we're still chucking in plenty of favourites and curveballs alongside the remixed and re-edited classics - hope you enjoy!

Big thanks to everyone who came along and boogied with us, it was an absolute pleasure!

Bootlegs & B-Sides #45

My face arrives before I do
My shadow stays behind
Two breaths collide in a hallway
Neither one is mine

I am the crack
and I am the thing that breaks
The mirror calls out numbers
that do not match my name
I wear three silhouettes
all stitched wrong
each one tugging at
a different future
A voice tries to speak
but fractures into dust
before it leaves the tongue

Identity peels off
in thin translucent sheets
I stack them
I lose them
I chase the wrong one
down an empty stairwell
Walls tilt
clocks melt
pronouns misfire
My reflection shifts tempo
and walks away
without waiting for me

I am split
I am splitting
I am the echo of a self
still negotiating its borders
Nothing holds
Everything rewrites
A name dissolving into static

Inside a room made of unspoken versions
I meet myself
but he is taller
and he is tired
and he is someone I do not recall
He asks if I remember the fracture
I answer yes
but the word leaves in two directions
both wrong
both true

Horn screams sideways
tearing vowels from the air
Piano collapses
keys scattering like broken identities
Drums stutter
heartbeats refusing alignment
My body replays old memories
out of order
out of sync
out of self

I am split
I am splitting
Echo on echo
layer on layer
A language cracked open
by the roar of becoming
Nothing fits
Everything reveals
A self made of fragments
bleeding into each other

Night folds inward
I follow a version of me
I have never met
Footsteps overlap
I multiply
I vanish
I return
as something unfinished
something unnamed
something finally allowed
to be broken

I am splitting

Was asked to flip this the other day, just got round to it. Made exclusively on MPC X Special Edition.
