"Witches” by Krysle Lip. And in this era of fake news and mainstream media mishaps it seems our salvation may indeed come from the TRUTH that "witches that can lead us home.” Actual witches? Possibly, but perhaps they are more metaphorical witches, for so many people have been demonized recently. Immigrants, the basket of deplorables, the left, the right, the media, corporations, lobbyist, politicians, Washington insiders, globalists, and nationalists, have all had their reputations sullied in what is the impression of humanity experiencing a new inquisition. People kill in the name of their God and speak in His name. They think they hold the truth; Their truth! But as Krysle implies in the song, only our souls can truly decipher truth.
 
Witches is also a tribute to "witches and sorcerers." Religion venerates light, science defines light, but the mystics harness light and project it deep into the past and into the future – our future. Krysle boils down the inadequacy projected by society onto each of us and asks us to embrace what we feel are our sins, that part of us that doesn’t measure up, and allow someone we have been taught to distrust to lead us home. Witches captures everything each of us felt on, dare I say, the white-knuckler we just experienced (and race, that is embedded in our language, rears its ugly head). Witches is a metaphor for minorities in the "melting pot,” and we are encouraged to celebrate what makes us all different.
 
Witches is a follow up to "Electric Mirror,” another song that is a commentary on society. As with all of Krysle’s songs there is the text that we need to pay attention to but the subtext is even more powerful forcing us to read between the lines to the words that cut like a knife in butter. Krysle talks about Electric Mirror, "this song is an ode to [the] current world of appearances, in which we are bathed since our childhood. Social media has made society, and more specifically women feel abnormal and unattractive due to the standards that media has imposed. Electric Mirror is the mirror within the device which invites this obsession for the ‘selfie’ and ‘instant gratification’ generation.” Witches elevates his conversation and brings it

Initially established in 2003 at The Eagle in London’s Vauxhall, Horse Meat Disco has evolved into a powerful force in queer and club culture as a whole, while staying local to its original home, each and every Sunday. Co-founded by James Hillard and Jim Stanton, and encompassing residents Severino and Luke Howard, the crew continue to maintain not only the weekly Sunday party, but a number of residencies in cities across the world, alongside a kaleidoscope of club appearances, festival dates and specially curated mixes.

Taking inspiration from a diverse, counter-cultural history of clubs and DJs, as well as from the sprawling, ever-expanding musical collections of it's resident crew, the sound of HMD is impossible to place. Nonetheless their style is undeniable, as is a popper-scented air of sheer authenticity. Rooted in hedonism, rhythm, freedom and emotion, a Horse Meat Disco set reinforces everything invigorating about disco, as comfortable as shattering old-school mirror ball cliches as basking in their light.

A typical HMD set blends classics, italo disco, house, oddities and punk funk, to conjure their initial spirit of “a queer party for everyone”, including, but not limited to, “Homos and Heteros, club kids, bears, fashionistas, naturists, guerilla drag queens and ladies who munch.” They have made appearances on every notable club scene in the modern world, as well as those beyond, and have long been a key fixture at festivals including Glastonbury, Bestival and Festival No.6.

Outside of the club, the Horse Meat Disco train rolls across the airwaves on Rinse FM, where the crew hold down a weekly residency every Sunday afternoon, serving as a pre and post-club Sunday lunch accompaniment, often delving into the more soulful shades of their sublime taste, often encompassing rave groove, gospel and whatever they can’t get away with on the dancefloor (which, as the years have proven, isn’t much). A series of expertly curated and acclaimed compilations for reissue label Strut helped further cement HMD’s formidable but communal reputation as disco masterminds, spreading their sound and many enviable obscurities into front rooms and record bags across the world. Their latest, ‘Meat Me Down the Disco’, was released on Z Records in 2017.

After decades of crate digging, globetrotting and partying, the HMD story continues apace. 2017 also saw the crew record their long-awaited contribution to BBC Radio 1’s ‘Essential Mix’, as well as their first joint foray into production, ‘Waiting For You To Call’, featuring Roy Inc., and released on their own, self-titled imprint. They are currently working on new music to be released with Glitterbox, with the new single ‘Let’s Go Dancing’ released in December 2018.
