This episode was a collaboration with L’Orchestre Parfum, our friends from France. I’ll try to make a sampled beat by using their record. So L’Orchestre Parfum create musical fragrances by collaborating with perfumers & musicians. Every fragrance inspires a musical composition. And my favorite; Cuir Kora by Cheikh Diallo.

Don’t forget to check L’Orchestra Parfum, they supported this channel, which really helps me to make some more content! So show some love to them, They were kind enough to give a promo code with  15€ discount on http://lorchestreparfum.com order with free shipping in all Europe with the promo code « first song »

Making A Sampled Beat: Cuir Kora

CounterAction is very joyful to present a brand new 7" vinyl single!
 introducing to the world…:

Gladys Right with "Running Around"

A song about fast paced living, and quick-thinking decision making in these current times. ‘Just as in basketball, sometimes you shoot a random shot and score, but was it a conscious decision with a positive result or a random one that happened to work out well?’ 
The A side features soothing vocal harmonies on a steppers with a upfull percussive playful vibe and a few creative twists along the way. 
A heavy late night sound system dub version by I-mitri is on the AA side featuring tape echoes, pitch-shifted melodies and growling deep bass sections..
Artwork by Huzzman.
Test presses land mid October, and the record is expected mid to late November 2019.

Meanwhile Glady’s debut solo vocal and dub album is currently in the works at the CounterAction studio and shall be available early 2020 as a digital release.

This is the first 7” on the label after a series of 10”s, a 12”, a CD and many digital singles and album releases since 2007 both on CounterAction and digital sister label Original Soundz.

Riddim In The Night

Time for live

In 2006 my brother bought a guitar and I bought a bass. We started practising Bob Marley’s songs together in our bedroom. In 2008 I founded “Tabula Rasta” reggae band and played music in various locations in Athens, Greece where my brother and I were studying. At some point between 2010 and 2011 we purchased an external audio card and that was it…I absolutely fell in love with making my own music in my bedroom. In 2012 I started uploading music using the name “Kostas Lemourios” with my first track being an instrumental cover of Alborosie’s “Kingston Town”. In 2016 I released my first EP titled “Time waits for no one” and in 2018 I released my second EP titled “Destiny”, as well as various other singles.
 
In 2017, as a homage to the late Michael Thompson a.k.a. Freestylee, I produced the single “Freestylee Riddim”. The single was released by VP Records and presented in Jamaica (MBJ Airport, Spanish Court Hotel, Kingston Dub Club) alongside the exhibitions of "The International Reggae Poster Contest" organised by graphic artist Maria Papaefstathiou. In 2017 I also collaborated with Greek reggae music producer Blend Mishkin composing the bassline for the single “Get up boy” which received radio play by David Rodigan on BBC Radio 1Xtra. 

Today, I continue to make music in my home studio and release it under my own name “Kostas Margaritakis”.
