Christmas Caipirinhas

Some time ago I worked for a Berlin based NGO called MICT while running Jakarta Records. During this time I helped organize a recording session in Tunisia with 9 female singers and musicians from Tunisia, Libya & Egypt together with Oddisee and Olof Dreijer of The Knife. "Nouh Al Hamam" by egyptian singer Maryam Saleh is the first leak of the project. You can pre-order the vinyl here. Below you can find the infos for this project....

http://jakartarecords-label.bandcamp.com/album/sawtuha

A little less then three years ago the political situation in many countries of the Arab world changed dramatically. Uprisings started in rural areas of Tunisia and from there spread to various countries in the region. Millions gathered in the streets united by their demand for more democracy, rights and participation in the political process. In most cases the reaction of the governing dictators were relentless and severe towards every form of protests. Violence in the streets of Cairo, Tunis and Bengasi escalated and resulted in the overthrow of the governments in Tunisia, Egypt and Lybia.
A year later a group of female singers and musicians from Tunisia (Nawel Ben Kraiem, Badiaa Bouhrizi, Medusa, Houwaida), Libya (Nada) and Egypt (Donia Massoud, Maryam Saleh, Youssra El Hawary) met in Mohsen Matri Studio in Tunis to sing- against corruption, despotism, patronization and narrow-mindedness. The song with Syrian artist Rasha Rizk was recorded some months later in her political asylum in Cairo. Sudanese/American producer Oddisee and Olof Dreijer of the Swedish pop duo The Knife joined the session, participating in the creation of the musical backdrop as well as the often multi-instrumentalist female singers. For the vinyl edition producers such as Brenk, Blackjoy and Blundetto contributed remix versions of the project.

At the time and still today especially musicians and especially women were and are trapped in a spiral of repression, discrimination and violence. "Sawtuha" (Arabic for "her voice"), the album that is the product of the 2-week session, is a vital encouraging testament of rebellion against the repression of democratic rights, gender inequality, and lack of inclusion. The music is an organic mixture of traditional Arabic music, regional influences and various forms of contemporary Western musical genres. A mixture that may sound contradicting at first but makes total sense once you listen to the music.

The studio session was organized by the Berlin based NGO MICT (Media In Cooperation And Transition) and was funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.

Maryam Saleh - Nouh Al Hamam (Produced by Oddisee)

Qool DJ Marv's 2-hour mix dedicated to The Roots, originally broadcast on WURD Philly. Marv's thoughts on 2 supporting inspirations:

One - I was telling my mom about The Roots making it from playing music on a South Street corner to becoming a band that travelled all over the U.S. and the world and is now the house band of the new Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She wasn't aware of them and their journey. One idea behind this is a Roots mix for the older generations.

Two - I imagined this scenario between a Dad and his son. Dad's hipping son to the hip-hop of his day. Thanks to a cool mix from a DJ named Marv, Dad played his boy the entire mix on a drive from Philadelphia to New York (because they scored tickets to the Tonight Show).

After each and every song, son asked "That's them too?"
"Yes, that's them too," smiled Dad.
"They sound so different, every song," the boy with the eager ears said.
"Well, they are musicians and their main voice, Black Thought, what a name eh(?), he's more than a rapper, he raps poetry, stories, information and encouragement."
"I thought rappers just talked about themselves and how they the best," said son.
"They are best at self-aggrandizement, I always needed more son," taught Dad.
(The Seed 2.0 starts playing)
"Oh who is this? Are we finished listening to the Roots," asked son.
"That's them too," beamed Dad while reaching for the + sign on the volume control.
"Wow, that's them too," said son with a voice that trailed off as he looked out the window and saw New York City on the horizon.
(Narrator: "Each time [son] asked "That's them too," in his mind's eye, heart & soul and deep in his consciousness, he was actually saying, "That's me too. That's me too. That's me, too. That's me.")

"The Blob is 32 minutes of beats & sounds that have otherwise been orphaned by their hell-bound father. It is largely unmixed and occasionally offensive.
James Lynch played bass on the one that sounds like an elf orgy.
Allyson Baker played guitar on the last one.

WMNSTUDIES - Northmix

I've been fishing for intuition in women/ 
I'm hoping that I'm efficient in searching for something different/
Me and the man Chan are on a mission, listen/
All these other women wanna live their life instantly/

Someone tell me why they take our shit for granted/
I been nurturing this seed that we done planted/
Looking like It's time that we swallow defeat/
We've been skipping off a track and the rhythm were giving's offbeat/

Damnn, we done wasted our potential/ 
But the timing wasn't right and thats essential/

I've been dreaming of a finer love, less of lust/
Looks can be deceiving thats some company to breach of trust/


Uhh, When you feelin' like you need more/
Make a move if your serious cause love is war/

Aint about a single life, need a bachelorette/
but i would rather be single than living with regret/

Slow Down feat. ChanThePharoah (prod. Soulink)

from the upcoming album Oddisee "The Good Fight" (5/5)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-good-fight/id969829649

In a landscape overrun with abstract indulgence and shallow trend-chasers, the Prince George’s County, Maryland artist Oddisee has created 'The Good Fight', a record that reminds you that it’s music before it’s hip-hop. Due May 5th on Mello Music Group, it’s for the fans and for himself. It finds the musical heavyweight balancing between craft, career, and successfully growing into the world around him. Stream the first single, "That's Love".

Album Description:
Oddisee makes music that rattles in your bone marrow. It’s imbued with love, honesty, and selflessness. It’s virtuosic in its musicality, direct in its language, and infinitely relatable.
 
In a landscape overrun with abstract indulgence and shallowtrend-chasers, the Prince George’s County, Maryland artist has created “The Good Fight,” a record that reminds you that it’s music before it’s hip-hop. Released on Mello Music Group, it’s for the fans and for himself. It finds the musical heavyweight balancing between craft, career, and successfully growing into the world around him.
 
For Oddisee, “The Good Fight” is about living fully as a musician without succumbing to the traps of hedonism, avarice, and materialism. It’s about not selling out and shilling for a paycheck, while still being aware that this is a business requiring compromise and collaboration.
 
It’s music that yields an intangible feeling: the sacral sound of an organ whine, brass horns, or a cymbal crash. It’s not necessarily the syllables, but rather what they evoke. A song like “That’s Love” is more than a declaration; it’s a meditation on our capacity to love and the bonds binding us together. Ambition and greed war with our sense of propriety. “Contradiction’s Maze” offers a list of paradoxes we all face (“I want to tell the truth when it hurts/but when it comes to me, I want the blow softened.”)
 
Oddisee’s production simmers in its own orchestral gumbo. You sense he’s really a jazzman in different form, inhabiting the spirit of Roy Ayers and other past greats.  The Fader’s compared him to a musical MC Escher, calling hailing his “grandiose and symphonic sound” and “relevant relatable messages.” Pitchfork praised his “eclectic soulful boom-bap.”
 
“The Good Fight” acknowledges the stacked odds, but refuses to submit.
 
It’s both universal and personal. The child of a Sudanese immigrant highlights the rigors of his own upbringing: his pregnant mother working the register until she was about to burst, his pops’ shuttered diner that couldn’t survive Reaganomics—the one that Oddisee drives past every time he returns home, just to remind him how quickly the world can turn bad.
 
It’s these minor details that add into something major. It’s testament to the indelible nature of art: when you can turn what you love into something that lasts.

This 10-volume G-FUNK ANTHOLOGY mixtape series celebrates the music genre known as G-Funk: classics, rarities and remixes from gangsta funk superstars, regional heroes and obscure geniuses.

BALANCE Show #521 - Hosted by Spacewalker

Boom Music, as inspired by Quasimoto’s track of the same name, started out as a monthly party hosted by Miguel and Oliver from Colectivo Futuro in London. Without having to list out a bunch of genres we like to cover, we think of the term as an all encompassing label. Our two hour show features all kinds of music for and from the soul, from Alice Coltrane to Basic Channel, recorded at Colectivo Futuro’s HQ in London, and often with a special guest joining us for the ride.

In Hour 2 we hand over to God Colony who are joined by Farhood for a special mix that also takes in music from Section Boyz, LV, Clams Casino, Balam Acab, Andy Stott and some of their own productions. They told us;
"This is the story of Farhood as told by Farhood and soundtracked by God Colony. Farhood is an MC from Tehran who came to the UK and became a friend to a lot of us. In a time where the state and a lot of bad writers appear determined to close the UK off from the rest of the world, we felt it important to present a version of events that is simple in its meaning – it's about Farhood's search for a better life and the things that have happened along the way. There are lots of sounds from around the world in here, narrated by Farhood using an extract from Between The Borders magazine and including an exclusive Farhood x God Colony collaboration."

Solid Steel (21st October) Tom Misch is our guest in Hour 1, the multi talented musician and beatmaker from London drops a mix with some unreleased gems ahead of his US and European tour, which is already sold out in many places. Following the success of Beat Tape 1 & 2, he released his first solo EP 'Revereie' earlier this year and an album is due out in 2017. You can get more info at http://www.tommisch.com and he had this to say about his mix;
"The mix is mostly a representation of a phase in my life when I was heavily into old school hiphop instrumentals and jazz. I still am today but I've moved onto to other stuff; at the moment I'm crazy about disco and more uptempo vibes. This mix is not about my mixing skills or transitions into tracks but more of a mood setter and insight into music I've been into. It's got some unreleased beats and bootlegs from years ago. "

BALANCE - Show #523 (Hosted by Spacewalker)

And we've finally reached the end of 2016! Ultimately it has proven to be a rather forgettable year overall, and it appears this is a universally shared sentiment. Yet again, Albert Ayler's theory that music is the healing force of the universe has been put to the test, and luckily, it's proven to be as accurate as ever! 

Breaking from tradition and my usual countdown of the top albums, tracks and EPs, I thought I'd mash them all together in one 90 minute mix, which I think you'll agree, makes for a much better listening experience.

Wishing everyone a Happy 2017!

BALANCE - Show #526 (Hosted by Spacewalker

Solid Steel in association with Serato (31st August) 3 years ago Solid Steel DJs Cheeba, Moneyshot and Food had the idea of collaborating on a version of the Beastie Boys‘ ‘Paul’s Boutique’ album made entirely from the original sample sources, shortly after Moneyshot aired his mix of their ‘Check Your Head’ album in the same way. 

Finally the result is here, titled ‘Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix’ - each of them have taken a third of the album to work on and combined their efforts into a mix that will make you hear it in a new way. Aside from the original sample sources they’ve included commentary from the Beasties, vintage interviews, demo versions and much more.

The mix was over half way completed when they heard the tragic news of MCA‘s death in May so the impetus to finish it was instantly doubled and new meaning given to the project. It goes without saying that this is also a tribute to Adam Yauch and the legacy he left behind and we hope it will be embraced by Beastie fans around the globe.
