Speech Debelle : Blaze Up A Fire (featuring Roots Manuva and Realism)

 I wrote this track months ago for my second album, and it wasn’t due for release until next year. But after the events of this week I want to give it away right now. I feel it could give insight into the hearts and minds of some of the people that have taken part in, not only the peaceful marches for Mark Duggan in Tottenham and the Smiley Culture march for justice, but also I believe it speaks of the frustration of many young people who took part in the rioting and the consequent looting over London and areas of the UK. I am not attempting to condone, I’m attempting to be a voice of understanding.

 It’s without doubt that what these young people have been doing is destructive and shameful. Their greed for material things and appetite for destruction is unhealthy and selfish. It is not how we should live as a society. BUT I have to say destruction has become a form of communication and expression for so many young people. 

 These young people are not aliens dropped down from outer space on Friday night, they are our children. They go to our schools and are taught the curriculum our government has set out for them. They watch the films we write direct and produce and star in. They fantasize about computer games we imagine and sell them. They eat the food we produce packed with e numbers and feed them. We cannot say there is something wrong with them without acknowledging there must be something wrong with us as a society.

 They are a big part of our future and we contribute to the creation of our futures. They are a continuum of what has come before them.

 In the same way a child takes in the feeling of comfort from their parents about the environment they’re born into, they take on the fear and frustration of the environment they are born into. You cant have a conversation with an average person these days without them complaining about banking debt and how it affects them, the university fees, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the role our government has played, the phone hacking and media attack on privacy, the rise of the cost of living and cuts in services and education because of the greed of the privileged minority.

 They hear these cries from the adults of this society and they have it right there in front of them on their TVs saying “this generation of young people have less opportunity then the generation before them.” They have been fed these things but cannot express these feelings of frustration in a mature way because again, their form of expression has become destruction and their environment provides them the fuel. This does not mean these frustrations are not real.

 People have asked why they are destroying buildings and property from their own communities but they look at them as just buildings that do not belong to them, and never will.  Only people who cannot envision a positive future will take part in the destruction of their own community and if we acknowledge that, then we to ask the question why somebody so young feels they have so little to look forward to? I cannot allow myself to de-humanize these kids and see them as my enemy.

BLAZE UP A FIRE by Speech Debelle (featuring Roots Manuva and Realism)

最終電車 どこにも - Saishū densha Doko ni mo

Njaal's 12" is landing in October with remixes from Terje Bakke (Be Chosen/
Soulfooled) and Skatebård (Kompakt/Sex Tags/Digitalo)

Cat No. :         UNTZUNTZ004 
Artist :            NJAAL 
Title :             ME AND HUGH 
Label :            UNTZ UNTZ RECORDS 
Format(s):       12″ & DIGITAL 
Release Date: 31/10/2011 

TRACK LISTING 

A   Njaal - Me And Hugh (Original mix) 
B1 Njaal - Me And Hugh (Terje Bakke remix) 
B2 Njaal - Me And Hugh (Skatebård remix) 

DESCRIPTION 

Another grandios 12" from the Untz Untz Records guys with a top notch remix package. This time its a hometown affair with all artists being from Bergen, Norway. 

So what is this then? Is it house? Is it prog? Is it (dear we say it) almost trance? Honestly we are not sure, but we know that it is balancing that magical thin red line somewhere in-between there and that it sounds powerful. 

The A-side on this 12" is one of Njaal's early productions that was sitting there untouched when Untz Untz found it. After testing it out for a long while in clubs they had to bring this masterpiece out on vinyl. Njaal, real name Njål Paulsberg, is a guy in his early 20's residing in Bergen, Norway. He is a known synthesizer fanatic that will travel to Japan for a certain synth. Njaal is a supertalented musician, dj and producer that is involved in multiple band projects in his hyper productive hometown.  

When we flip over to the B-side two remixes are being served up. 

Terje Bakke is a rapidly rising rocket on the house scene with praise and admiration being thrown at him from all corners. He is giving us a unique sounding minimal house remix with clicks and claps here and there that will turn heads on a demanding dancefloor. Terje has been releasing tracks on labels such as Soulfooled and Be Chosen of lately, and is rumored to have a release coming up on one of 2011 most exciting new labels. Terje has just relocated to Copenhagen to seek new challenges. He is truly one of Bergen's greatest exports this side of the millennia. 

To end the whole affair we have Norway's very own Mr.Italodisco. Skatebård delivers a full on attack with his remix. Connoisseurs of his extensive catalogue knows that Skatebård oscillates between emotional techno, neo-italo, electro from an alternative future and a Scando-cosmic reinterpretation of pure Detroitian house. Skatebård is a very busy dj and producer. Earlier this year he put out a handful of 12"s and just recently he released his fourth artist album. Every weekend Skatebård criss-crosses Europe on his never-ending string of gigs. If its in the dungeons of the Berghain castle or at a small island on the rural coast of Norway, his presence is in high demand. 

All in all: 3 slightly different tracks that will appeal to multiple branches of dance music. 

Some selected early feedback:

Tim Sweeney (Beats In Space/NYC) - "That Skatebard mix is my favorite of the bunch!"

Wolfram (Permanent Vacation/Diskokaine - AUS/NYC) - "Love it!"

Massimiliano Pagliara (LARJ/Balihu/Rush Hour) - "Bard, Bard, Bard: AMAZINGNESS!!! Great stuff as always"

Rayko (Rare Wiri/Eskimo/UntzUntz) -"Nice release mates!"

Hardway Bros (A Love From Outer Space) - "OOOH! Nice"

Hannulelauri (Relish/FIN) - "Your release is almost trance, but trance is good"

DJ Gio Mc-505 (Sauroid/ITA) - "Wow, it reminds me the Progressive House of early 90s, it's like a trip into the past!"

Fear of Theydon (Sunday Best/UK) - "Deeeeeep!"

diskJokke (Smalltown/NOR) - "FEIT!"

Juno Records (London/UK) - "Njaal's original sits perfectly between warm, cosmic infused house and experimental electronica as menacing keyboards take over the high end and soft, hazy reverb clouds dominate the lower. Flip over and Terje Bake strips "Me & Hugh" down to a pounding kick drum from start to finish while Njaal's ambient beds simmer below. Skatebard keeps the hypnotic style of the original while pushing the drum beats up to their crisper capabilities."

Piccadilly Records (Manchester/UK) - "Reminiscent of mid 90s pregressive house, "Me And Hugh" really packs a building, hypno-house punch, with a mega uplift after the breakdown."

20年周期で三たび訪れるサマー・オブ・ラブ in テン年代！インディが“ハウス”する越境の最新ダンス・アクト！！

US西海岸発！ヨーロッパまでも巻き込んだ今最もホットな最新アクト“インディ・ダンス”
の火付け役[100 % Silk]の初となる注目のレーベル・コンピレーションがなんと日本より！！

ここ数年“シンセ”や“80年代”をキーワードに打ち込みへと傾倒、チルウェイヴ、ウィッチハウス、シンセ・ポップ、シンセ・ウェイヴなどアンビエントやドローンの空間を培養しながらネットを中心にDIYかつオルタナティブな広がりをみせるインディ・シーン。そのシーンが辿り着いた先は90年代ハウスへと回帰する昨今のクラブ・シーンとも共鳴するような、セカンド・サマー・オブ・ラブ以降に全世界へと波及した90年代初頭のバレアリックなハウス・ミュージック。 そのバイブレーションをパロディとも言える切り口で現代へと蘇らせ、シーンの起爆剤となり、今やクラブ・シーンからも熱い視線が注がれる世界の最注目レーベル[100% Silk]の初となるコンピレーションは、[Planet Mu]からのデビュー・アルバムも記憶に新しいItal、 シーンをハウスの熱気へと導いたMagic Touch、 新譜を同レーベルよりリリースしたばかりのItalとMagic Touchの両雄によるユニットMi Ami、インディ・シンセ女子の代表格Maria Minerva、USインディ・アンダーグランドの女王LA Vampiresなど、 昨年のヒット・チューンから新曲、未発表曲まで、サイケデリック・ミュージックを根底に、現行インディのキワキワのアナログ・ユーモア、ロックの系譜も感じさせる甘味なメロディーや歌心、そこへシカゴやNY・ハウス直系のダンス・ミュージックの快楽と熱狂のグルーヴが絶妙に溶け合わさった、過去、現在、未来のレーベルのヴィジョンと魅力をたっぷり濃縮、新旧がスムーズに繋がれたフレッシュな一枚へ。日本からは[Diskotopia]のGreeen Linze、昨年[Not Not Fun]から突如デビューした噂のシルク・ガールSapphire Slowsがリミックスで参加した2012年の話題盤 & インディ・ダンスの特大決定盤が登場です！！

西海岸のカリスマ女性アーティストLA Vampires (LA・ヴァンパイアズ) ことAmanda Brown (アマンダ・ブラウン) とアーティストでもある Britt Brown (ブリット・ブラウン)の夫妻により運営される、近年のUSインディ・アンダーグランドにおける最重要レーベル[Not Not Fun]のダンス・ミュージック路線として立ち上げられた姉妹レーベル[100% Silk]。リリース当初は[Not Not Fun]にも通じるドローン / アンビエント / アヴァンなどエクスペリメンタルな趣きの強いサウンドを内包するも、Italの「Only For Tonight」やMagic Touchの「I Can Feel The Touch」などのリリースを皮切りに、80年代後期〜90年代初頭に世界へ波及したオルタナティブなハウス・ミュージックのバイブレーションを現代へと昇華したような、よりフロアへとベクトルを向けたバレアリックなダンス・ミュージックへと移行、その熱気はインディだけに留まらずヨーロッパのクラブ・シーンにも飛び火、本年のSonar (バルセロナ) ではレーベル・ショーケースも控える、今やトレンド・セッター的なレーベルとしてインディはもちろんテクノ、ハウス、ディスコまであらゆるシーンから注目を浴びる最もホットな存在。

Ital - Dub Me For Tonight (Saviour's Love Megamix) *promo

Pink Floyd Remix by 310 from the Prague Rock EP.

Trustus (Pink Floyd Remix)

http://lightintheattic.net/releases/705-dreamin-wild

“‘Baby’ has been a staple on just about every playlist/mixtape I’ve assembled in the past 3 years. It is nothing short of sublime.” – Ariel Pink

Originally released in 1979, "Dreamin’ Wild" is the sonic vision of the talented Emerson boys, recorded in a family built home studio in rural Washington State. Situated in the unlikely blink-and-you-missed-it town of Fruitland and far removed from the late 1970s punk movement and the larger disco boom, Donnie and Joe tilled their own musical soil, channeling bedroom pop jams, raw funk, and yacht rock.



* First ever CD & LP reissue
* CD and LP include detailed liner notes by Dave Segal, interviewing the Emersons plus unseen photos
* 180-gram LP housed in gatefold "tip-on" jacket and includes download card for full album
* 25 random copies of LP include an original copy of Donnie & Joe's 1977 debut 45 single 

Donnie & Joe Emerson "Baby" ("Dreamin' Wild")

Well, the sun came out here today in London for an hour, so to celebrate this momentous occasion, I felt inspired to do another "Reunited" remix, this time sending young Michael off to the Caribbean...
