Sleepy Time Soul

“A grand, funky number”
— NME Magazine

“So interesting, so original.”
— Dave Rowntree (Blur, XFM)

With a nod to 1970s jazz funk greats the inspirational and humanitarian musings of the enigmatic Bruce Lee are backed by breakbeats, bass, guitar, shakers, 3 piece horn section and a haunting vibraphone melody. All recorded using real live instruments and in order to preserve a natural groove no click track was used during the recording.

On May 22, 2014 Dave Rowntree of Blur made it his record of the week on XFM calling it "so interesting, so original." Both Don Letts and Gideon Coe have been spinning it on BBC 6 Music along with WFUV's Kara Manning in New York and numerous local stations across the UK.

Be Water My Friend will be issued on new Leeds imprint All My Friends as a split 7” with label mates Invisible Hands &amp; their debut single Just.

LYRICS

[Spoken & authored by Bruce Lee]

Empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless
Like water

When you put water into a cup
it becomes the cup
when you put water into a bottle
it becomes the bottle
when you put it in a teapot
it becomes the teapot

Now water can flow
or it can crash

Be water my friend

Running water never goes stale
so you gotta just keep on flowing

Be water my friend

Its very slow and you push it out
but all the time you are keeping the continuity going
bending, stretching everything
I suppose you know you just keep it moving
see the idea is running water never grows stale
so you gotta just keep on flowing

Be water my friend

To express oneself honestly
not lying to oneself
and to express myself honestly
now that my friend is very hard to do
and you have to train
you have to keep your reflexes
so that when you want it its there

When you want to move you are moving
and when you move you're determined to move
not taking one inch - not anything less than that
If I want to punch
I'm gonna do it man

Be water my friend

Here I am you know as a human being
How can I express myself totally and completely?
Its a process of continuing growth

Empty your mind
Be formless
Shapeless

Be water my friend

You what I want to think of myself? As a human being. Because - I mean, I don't want to sound like 'as Confucius say...' but under the sky, under the heavens man, there is but one family. It just so happens man that people are different.

Evva - In The Mix (October 2024)

We have got the Mark Farina Subequatorial Mix digitized and ready for your listening ahead of his return to Brisbane for Zen & The Art of House! Recorded back in 1994 in Phil Smart’s Bondi home, this is what Phil had to say about its creation.

“It was 1993 when I first encountered Mark Farina. I’d been travelling to DJ in San Francisco for a couple of years already when Mark came out from Chicago with Derrick Carter to play for the first time. They totally blew everyone’s minds, DJs and dancers alike. We all realised we’d witnessed something extraordinary, and I just knew I had to get them out to Australia.

I’d started a series of parties in Sydney called Organic, and in March of 1994 I brought Mark out to play. He stayed at my house in Bondi, and one day he decided to make a mix tape. Standard operating procedure for me to make a mix tape was to get a bunch of records together and practice with them for a while before pressing record, but Mark just popped a blank tape in the cassette deck, hit record and laid down this mix in one go!

I rediscovered it in my archives recently and figured it would be great to put it out into the world again, and with Mark’s approval we are pleased to present it to you now”.

We are thrilled to kick off 2025 with an exciting new release. Introducing a captivating cinematic funk theme song that seamlessly fits within the realm of motion pictures, crafted by the talented French producer from Indonesia Rodolphe Bellugue, making his debut on Timewarp Music under the alias Megawet.

It's an exhilarating spontaneous soundtrack aimed at igniting your funky soul. 

In addition, label head Timewarp inc steps in with a remix of "The Intruder" adding a tantalizing twist to the original. His remix infuses a deeper, more mysterious vibe while maintaining the same captivating arrangement. The addition of a live Rhodes electric piano throughout the track enhances its allure, and during the bridge, a Hammond improvisation transports the listener into an entirely different scene. 

Get ready to experience a musical journey that intertwines cinematic flair with funky grooves, appealing to music lovers everywhere.
