Some People Told Me

Taken from the upcoming Glitterbeat Records album:
VARIOUS ARTISTS: DUBS & VERSIONS I
Release date: October 17th 2014

Dennis Bovell: Aye Go Mila Dubwize. One of the most revered dub and reggae producers, Dennis has been making his mark on contemporary music for over 40 years. Born in Barbados, Bovell moved to south London at the age of 12 and became deeply immersed in the emerging roots, lovers rock and soundsystem cultures. He spearheaded seminal British reggae acts like Linton Kwesi Johnson and Matumbi and was also notably involved in the late 70’s post-punk scene as producer for The Slits, The Pop Group and Orange Juice. In 2012, Dennis released the dub collection Mek It Run.

Samba Toure: Aye Go Mila (Album: “Albala” / May 2013). Samba is a legend of northern Malian music. As a member of the touring ensembles for both Ali Farka Toure and Toumani Diabate, Samba gained musical experience and perspective that he brought together famously on his acclaimed third album Albala. A meditation on Mali’s humanitarian and political crisis, Folk Roots wrote that Albala “is a record full of passion, eloquence and incredible music.”


It can’t be much of a surprise that Glitterbeat would eventually assemble a collection of dubs and versions of songs by our artists. Our very first release in the spring of 2013 was a 500-piece limited edition 12” where two tracks from the Malian Afro-rock newcomer Ben Zabo were given an inspired dub treatment by legendary Berlin producer Mark Ernestus (Rhythm & Sound, Jeri Jeri). Those two tracks are included here as well as eight other reinterpretations from our growing catalog.

Having had the privilege of working with each of the Malian artists remixed for this album (Tamikrest, Ben Zabo, Samba Toure, Aminata Wassidje Traore & Lobi Traore) we can safely say that this project will not seem as strange to them as one might assume. In contemporary Malian music, reggae plays a fundamental role and nearly every electric based band we have encountered in Bamako and beyond incorporates at least some reggae elements into their sound. Also the rapid, ubiquitous rise of Hip Hop in Mali has brought samples, remixes and programming into the direct orbit of the country’s urban musicians. And in the dusty, open lots of Bamako’s sprawling neighborhoods, the music that one most frequently encounters being performed is Balani, a sort of Malian variant of dancehall, where laptop electronic beats and declamatory “toasting” are combined with samples of balafons and other traditional instruments. Balani is by definition a remix-generated music.

Bringing together the different mixers with the songs of the original artists was an exciting process. Our choices of who to invite rose intuitively out our record collections and our personal networks and almost every mixer that we approached thankfully accepted the invitation. 

Mark Ernestus was asked to fashion our original 12” not only because of our deep love for his work with the abstract dub duo Rhythm & Sound but also because of his albums in collaboration with Jeri Jeri, the Senegalese sabar group. Dubmaster Dennis Bovell’s work with Linton Kwesi Johnson, The Pop Group and Orange Juice has been a big part of our personal soundtracks for more than thirty years. His recent dub album, Mek It Run, is a killer. We were introduced to the South African Nozinja via his infectious Shangaan Electro productions. Honest Jons released an excellent remix album (Shangaan Shake) of his tracks and we thought it fitting that he join our remix dialogue. We stumbled upon the British-Ghanaian performance, visual and musical artist Larry Achiampong’s self-released LP More Mogya and were excited by its mashup of palm wine and high life samples with Hip Hop beats. We have been fans of Mark Stewart all the way back to his days in the seminal post-punk band The Pop Group, but it was his recent dub album Exorcism of Envy that really caught our collective ear. The intricate afro-techno of Harmonius Thelonious is by definition a sort of West African music remix project, and he seemed a perfect choice to invite. Rounding off the list of mixers is our old friend Dirk Dresselhaus AKA Schneider TM whose wide-open musical obsessions have embraced indie rock, analog electronics, improvisation and field recordings. He recently journeyed to Mali and Burkina Faso to study balafon music. 

With the finished master of this album right now echoing from our speakers we are already thinking about Glitterbeat: Dubs & Versions volume II. Can’t wait.

Tom Day - Ever After

I see the rain as sea-fall
See my redemption
It might be see-through
find it there it caught me 
My fatal story, wrote a sign
Find every single crying fallen angel

For soul, the message in my rose
Once seen, it breaks the dust we know

If I fall right here, break my fear of uncertainty
Make my faith a serenity, this love will burn my day
Why did I wear this fortress out of loyalty?

For soul, the message in my rose
Once seen, it breaks the dust we know

Fatoumata Diawara - Fatou (Full Album)

Presenting 'Indwelling', my collaboration with @sound-eyera as a part of 'Rêver EP' being released 16th of April. This piece started out as a heart felt improvisation on my family's old piano which Eyera's lyrics and ethereal melodies helped transform into a relaxing and healing soundscape.

The 5-track EP combines Haquin's multi-layered & organic beats with a number of vocalists, starting with the rhymes of Atlantan rapper @iamsirbishop on the title track, 'Rêver', Ellie McCracken on 'Confinement', and @sound-eyera on the more positive and epiphanic score, 'Indwelling'. The EP also features two highly-emotive and introspective instrumental productions, 'Memories' & 'The Deep'.

Blundetto - white birds (feat. hindi zahra)

"We gotta face it head on this time and I’m touching base with the moving inner eye,
Farewell brother, we gotta go, Got to open the mind, touch the plateau."

This sums up the meaning of the entire song pretty succinctly. It is about the willingness to go on a internalized journey through the layers of self, forgoing the traditional roles and games of society, in favour of a quest for a deeper existential meaning and transformation.

"When I journey to the base of this pain I place the blame on the one who holds my name and no-one else, deal with the cards I’ve been dealt, I’m about to follow what I’ve always felt."

"I got the spinning conspiracies evoked close to me, one mans delusion is one mans satori, well I’m feeling the third eye presence, bright luminescence, my hands are shaking with the outside essence." 

This paragraph refers most explicitly to the types of psycho-somatic experiences that result from the practices of deep contemplation: the experiencing of subtle energy, inner lights, and a feeling of ‘jacking in’ to some external force (whether it is external or internal is a matter of scholarly debate that still rages however, personally I think it is unimportant – these ‘experiences’ are fleeting, it is the flowering of consciousness which is enduring)

"Enough muse on my recent demise, we got the way and the means so we rise, consciously, into the ether. If you remain true to yourself they will be believe you."  

An emphasis is on transcending the limitations of personality and to rise into a place of authentic being.. when you believe in yourself and come from a place of authenticity, it will be immediately noticeable for others who will come to trust you.

"I hold this close to me, you gotta know I hold this close to me."

“I hold this close to me” It describes multiple things, the first is that this journey is close in the sense of proximate; it happens in the private world of personal consciousness. The second sense is that I ‘hold it close’ because I regard it as important. It is like a faith, I say ‘like’ a faith because it is not the blind faith of religion, it is so close that it feels like it is part of me, not like a god; a metaphysical other that I can never experience. In fact this closeness to it means that it colours every detail of my experience, it is there in my love, my hate, my motivations and the meaning I make for things.

"Now elevate up from a place mundane, without the pulse of fear pushing terror to my brain," 

One thing that developmental psychologist Abraham Maslow noticed is that when one makes a leap from being concerned with more simple needs like food, shelter, sex and emotional safety (what he called ‘deficiency needs’) to what he called ‘being needs’ something remarkable happens: fear drops off. 

"they can keep their backward mindset I’ll defect and show the world what I’m seeing yet."

Bringing in the assumption, which is unavoidable, that there are inferior ideologies, world-views and discourses, and this means it is incumbent on humans to promote the better ones…

"Learning to expose the lie, we are falling to another dawning I hear the warning sign as calamity clamours for popularity "

It's not easy! all the old egocentric and ethnocentric worldviews are fighting desperately, even as more harmonious, global centric approaches to human existence emerge in a tiny fraction of the worlds population. One only need look at the expansionist crusades of the neo-cons, theocratic militancy, the re-emergence of fascism in Europe, to see this struggle will be a formidable one.   

"I’m left trying to justify why I can hear the poem like a rhapsody, you can never tear down the factory, you can never know why the ghetto vibrates I contemplate placing normality. You say I want to hold this close to me, well I’m wearing these words like a rosary as we’re moving deep inside, moving into the bright white light."

although confusion and chaos predominate in our lifes, sometimes we can recognize that in the journey through the layers of our person, we are moving inexorably towards clarity, compassion and oneness, here represented as a bright, white light.

Hope you enjoy the song X

'Check this I’m sick of the tricks, sick of the purists. For ages we misfits not talking bout what day it is. The world has made us into capitalistic fatalists, I looking around this place but can’t find the folks that I came with. 
Will all the real truly free people please stand up, tell me somebody out there still hasn’t given up. Is this living of ours living up to the vision or does this revolution stop at your coffee cup, huh,
Fuck this, I’m sick of the shit, sick of the business, sick of the world tending to be my witness, sick of pretending to be this identity hypothesis, force my metamorphosis, throw my caution to the wind with total thoughtlessness.
I and I is a hungry soul, society gone bad but we need not fall so face the demons stealing into these maddening days, find them in the minds eye, take aim and blow them away.
We got to purify, from the inside out.
Check the bass, check the middle, check the treble but lets take this music to another level. We’re like pebbles dropping into the water causing ripples for our sons and daughters, there’s no borders, just all of us shouting orders. 
Today it's spiritual this, spiritual that, tell me you heard this: Presidents talking about a higher purpose. If they’re TALKING about this shit we’ve got to be LIVING it in earnest, become impervious, so the holy wars will never hurt us.
One love, one god, one world, one something.. but loads of words that don’t mean nothing. You can’t fool me with fantasy circus circling semblances of sacred service, only want to know what is your holy purpose.
I and I is a fighting soul, I am one man but I am you all, so spread the wealth, slake the worlds thirst but know we can only save the world when we say ourselves first.
We got to purify, from the inside out.
So yes be angry, yes be mad, yes be shocked and awed but whatever the fuck you do don’t be bored. Yes the beat don’t stop this epoch’s not the end, cities chock-a-block but still got oxygen, still got, something to fight for, die for, something to live my life for and I intend to be one of the survivors, but that’s is cos, the buck stops with us, no ifs no buts, no matter who you cuss. If your not on the bus it wont be enough to save you, if you don’t reach the ocean the tide wont turn in your favour and all those leaving planet earth will be like ‘See ya later’….
We got to purify, from the inside out.'


Spaceship Earth

I wrote this after 2001 while the war in Afghanistan was under-way. So there is a political backdrop to it. But, I wrote the song feeling that the conflict and deception seen between countries on the global stage is projection of the personal and inter-personal conflict many of us feel in the 'closeness' of our own life-world. We have every right to be angry about governments pushing agendas that don't match the will of the people, but we should be equally concerned about our own part in personal deceptions, troubles and conflicts - the wars that we can probably do more about. It's no good crusading for peace in the world if we can't have peace in our lives.
