Alfa Mist - All Time feat. Tawiah

A Qwalia live show is a jump into the unknown - for the band and the audience. The quartet arrive with no prepared material and they don't play anything from their albums. They sit down, they begin to play and what comes next is as much a surprise to them as the people audience. 

That's how their albums were written and that's how this live session at London's much loved 91 Living Room on Brick Lane happened. Band leader Yusuf Ahmed selected 4 sections from their two, continuous 45 minute, improvised sets to share here in the first of a series of live EPs. 

Bricklane III

Track 7 off my continuous compilation album, iMAKE GOLD!

Gotta time travel a bit. This joint was born in 2020—a year of madness, pain, protest, and profound racial reckoning. Amid COVID's chaos, we mourned George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and carried the weight of Sandra Bland and Eric Garner's tragedies a decade ago. Creating music felt heavy for me. Many ideas I began from that time period remain unreleased because I wasn't in a good head space. Yet from that grief, art emerged. This is one of those records.

I made the beat back in 2018. I remember there was an album cover sitting in my studio that had the face of a black man that kept staring at me while I was working on the beat. I took it as a sign to make the beat tell the story of those eyes. I had someone in mind that I knew could bring the feel more to life. I sent a demo beat to my Playlist Retreat brother, Philly legend Rich Medina (DJ, poet, educator)—not just for his iconic voice, but I needed to hear his perspective on our fractured world. His line "Black Codes in Stealth Mode" hit me and that's what inspired the song title. It speaks to the resilience of Black and Brown communities navigating decades of systemic trauma… and to our unbroken spirit.

Love to Rich for blessing the jawn 👑
