RHYTHMS Radio Show (Sep.23.2022)

The illustrious, London-based duo Kit Sebastian, aka Kit Martin and Merve Erdem, return with a limited edition 7” single. It features ’L’addio’, a breakbeat driven, sultry ballad, and ‘Hayat’, a hazy, psychedelic scorcher that delves into the band’s Turkish and Azerbaijan influences.

‘L’addio’ saw the band perfecting their production and orchestration, with strings, horns and double bass, and an Italian synth found in a French dump. The music was greatly influenced by Italian soundtracks and Italian female singers, such as Mina or Rita Pavone. The track announces itself with a break that is guaranteed to get samplers twitching. The tone of the melody and lyrics is heartfelt and aching. It has a beautiful, intimate sadness like the closing scenes to a love affair, and it exquisitely rides over the slow, psych-funk-dramatic backing track. The lyrics are inspired by a flat opposite Merve's window that's occupied by drug addicts, with many guests coming in and out every night. Merve elaborated “Being both neighbours and strangers, and with the boredom of a post-tour everyday domestic life and a pinch of urban voyeurism, it was hard not to wonder what was happening in that flat. The words imagine an addict before her/his golden shot as if it's a love relationship between them that comes to an end.” 

Having spent much of 2022 touring and writing, ‘Hayat’ was the first original composition the band recorded since their October 2021 album, ‘Melodi’. Here we see them weaving a psychedelic tapestry of Mugham melodies, organ-driven grooves, and jazz-pop harmonies in classic Kit Sebastian fashion. Recorded to Fostex 1/4” tape, the essence of the production is perfectly balanced between being brand new and retro, which is a feat very hard to pull off. 

‘Hayat’ is sung in Turkish and the title translates as ‘Life’ in English. The song examines our desire to find one's place in the world and the provisionality of existence. Merve's searching lyrics ask “Where are you? Where is the universe?”. Her vocal delivery perfectly reflects the lyrical focus, its texture is probing and ethereal, almost as if sung from looking above us.

🎶 歌詞 (Lyrics):

遠い海を渡ってきたの  
光で描かれたあなたの笑顔  
静かな街の夜明けに  
時はゆっくりと息をしていた  

空に漂うメッセージ  
見えない糸が結んでる  
濡れた道でひとり踊る  
未来を抱きしめながら  

2025 世界は変わる  
夢を運ぶ光のライン  
2025 透き通る翼  
あなたへと導いてく  

古い映画が窓に映る  
風が私をネオンで包む  
目が合うたびに胸の奥  
言葉にならない想いが揺れる  

夜空を渡る列車は  
約束と距離を積んで  
行き先も知らずに乗り込み  
あなたの影を探す  

明日が開いたファイルなら  
私は閉じない歌でいたい

DC Promo Tracks #118: "Cosmic Lines" by Boy Dude is part of the new release "Cassette For You" on Hobo Camp @hobocamprecords

Buy LP/Cassette: https://boydude.bandcamp.com/album/cassette-for-you

Multi-instrumentalist and Music Producer Jordan Chini armed with an array of guitars, basses, drum machines, and vintage synths has fused the spirit of lo-fi songwriting and psychedelia with the aesthetics of experimental funk and soul under his brand-new guise “BOY DUDE”. Sculpted using peculiar studio techniques, “Cassette For You” garnished its title, and was ultimately mixed and rendered through a Tascam Portastudio 4 track recorder, granting the album a warm and classic tape compression vibe. As a result, there is a distinct mood and atmosphere to his music, which traverses seamlessly through many eras and styles of music, without any specific destination in mind. 

The LP was initially influenced by Jordan digging out some of his Fathers’ (Robert Chini – former Songwriter for Motown Records) recordings from the late 70's, which inspired Chini to begin writing and experimenting in a similar vein. The result was a stunning marriage of vintage moods with modern songwriting sonics, which transformed into the “BOY DUDE” project. Additionally, this LP is a result of Chini reaching a turning point in his own musical development: experimenting with blending his songwriting background with his "funky" side and his increasing love and understanding of vintage synthesizers. Each tune on the LP delves deep into the world of BOY DUDE, which can be fuzzy, emotional, trippy, dreamy, and well, let’s leave the rest up for you to decide…

--------------------------------------
these days I wake up tired
the sandman bumps and bleeds into my day
just want to see us higher
over the valley that falls between our lake

just want to say that I'm much stronger than they'd find
muscle of my might came forward with closed eyes
just want to say that I'm much brighter than they'd thought
movie premieres and there's excitement in the lot
