خُيولي 
أخَفُّ مِنَ الرِّيحِ 

سَنابِكُها تَقدَحُ الشَّراراتِ 
إذْ نَدْخُلُ المُدُنَ 

الحَرْبُ تَسْتَلقي 
كالعَروسِ بِإنتِظاري 

والحَتْفُ يَتَكلَّمُ بِاسمي 
فأنا هولاكو: 

سَيْفٌ في غِمدهِ لا يَسْتَريحُ 

ظِلّهُ أَينَما ارْتَمى 
يَستَنسِلُ غَيْمَةً مِنَ العُقبانِ الجائِعَة 
تطفو فوق البيوت 

حيثُ يَراني 
اللاجئونَ في 
كَوابيسِهِم بَينَ الخَرائِبِ 

- شعر لسركون بولص (١٩٤٤-٢٠٠٧). الترجمة الانجليزية لناريمان يوسف 

-------------------- 

My stallions 
are lighter than the wind. 

The fire of their hooves 
singes the earth 
as we enter the cities. 

War reclines, 
a submissive bride at my call, 
and Death speaks in my name, 
for I am Hulagu: 

a sword untiring, 
its shadow, wherever it falls, 
begets a cloud of hungry vultures 
that circle the houses 
where refugees 
see me in their nightmares 
among the ruins. 

- Poem by Sargon Boulus (1944-2007). English translation by Nariman Youssef.

Victoria Hume - 'Closing'

Last year we were asked to write a tune for the Bond movie Spectre.
Yes we were. It didn’t work out, but became something of our own, which we love very much.
As the year closes we thought you might like to hear it.
Merry Christmas. May the force be with you.

Spectre

Now if you don't love this song then we're not quite sure what to say. The relatively unknown Norwegian duo http://soundcloud.com/smerzno instantly had us with this elegant piece of what we can only conjur up the words to describe as masterful deconstructed pop, with a twist.  Press play on this i-D exclusive and head over to http://i-d.co for more info.

Premiere: Smerz - Because

Vinyl, CD and digital. 16 tracks.

A magic mixture of traditionnal Min'yo songs and latin jazz elements. Recorded in Japan between 1958 and 1962.

With its second release, Akuphone keeps exploring Asia with an original compilation of Japanese singer Chiemi Eri. This edition – which is available in vinyl record, CD and digital - includes exclusive liner notes and a rich calligraphed booklet containing the romanization of lyrics. It encourages to (re)discover Chiemi Eri’s recordings. On this compilation, Akuphone has brought together 16 songs from 10 inches albums originally released by King Records (Japan) between 1958 and 1962.

As the daughter of a musician father and a singer mother, Chiemi Eri (1937-1982) grew up in a musical environment. When she was still a teenager, she started a career as a singer on US military bases. She became famous by singing numerous classics from the post-war American musical repertoire. At the age of 14 she recorded the song Tennessee Waltz with King Records, which turned out to be an immediate success, the first of many others.

Chiemi Eri is considered as one of the most famous Japanese singers of the 20th century, more precisely of the Showa era (1926-1989), named after the Japanese emperor of the time, better known under his westernized name Hirohito. Both a singer and an actress – she played in more than 50 films, as well as many theatre plays – she definitely made a mark in the post-war Japanese cultural landscape, along with fellow singer-actresses Izumi Yukimura and Hibari Misora.

The success of these true national icons, who were nicknamed « the three sisters », can be connected to the specific context of the time, that is the cultural opening of Japan which, although initiated a century before, accelerated with the US military occupation of the archipelago (1945-1952). This period saw the import of popular musical styles of the time: jazz, be-bop, swing, mambo, etc, as well as the development of a hybrid musical style - the Kayokyoku - which consists of a delicious mix of so-called “western” music with Japanese music. 

Combining vocal jazz, Latino rhythms and Japanese folk, this new compilation of Chiemi Eri offers an original musical syncretism. Supported by Tadaaki Misago and the Tokyo Cuban Boys – the oldest and most prolific latin-jazz group in Japan – Chiemi Eri sings themes, in Japanese, that are mainly taken from the traditional folklore. Thus, the drums and brass of the Cuban arrangements are mixed with the Min’yo, which shows how rich these folk songs are: every region, every local tradition, every event is celebrated by a particular song or dance. Chiemi Eri also reveals the vocal prowess specific to the Min’yo, in particular the kobushi, a sort of melisma – this vocal technic that consists in singing a single syllable while moving between several different notes in succession.

This compilation, which surprisingly blends Min’yo and latin-jazz elements, invites to the discovery of the archipelago from a different perspective.

Simon Raymonde (Bella Union, Amazing Radio)  "..Fantastic tune"
Gideon Coe (BBC 6 Music)  "...A late night favourite on the show"

Taken from the forthcoming album 'How the other half live and die' released 12th March 2016 via Fluttery Records. Now available to pre-order http://flutteryrecords.com/flttry102

‘How the other half live and die’, as a collective work, is built around the concepts of love and loss. To the fear and beauty in death; to infatuation and devotion; to the band’s personal battles with illness. The most important instrument is the listener’s imagination.

Bakermat - Black Cat John Brown (Original Mix)

This is a joint from the vaults.  I didn't even know it existed anymore.  Was initially supposed to be on Intricate Dialect's album, "KEMET", a brilliant album about the country of Egypt.  My bro seriously did his homework on that (here's a link.... http://abprojects.com/album/kemet).  Anyway, this joint didn't make the final cut for the album.  I hadn't heard it since the night we recorded it over Eddie Logix studio when I stumbled upon it two weeks ago.  The track is produced by Shady EV, a cat I hope to work with on some more joints in the near future.   Oh by the way, this joint is the first track I'm leaking off my upcoming EP, "Hidden Gems", which will be released in the early spring of 2013.
