Yo people here’s my latest Reggae Boom Bap beat! Really wanted it to sound and feel like you were in the rain with this one. Made exclusively on iPad using Koala Sampler.

DKODA - Some Reggae In The Rain

💥"Selfie" raconte l’arrivée des smartphones dans nos vies, étroitement liée à celle des réseaux sociaux. 🎶Chacun et chacune s’y dévoile sous différentes facettes, dans l’espoir d’obtenir la reconnaissance de ses pairs, et parfois bien au-delà. C’est aussi, pour certain·e·s, un moyen de renforcer la confiance en soi. J’espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir à l’écouter que j’en ai eu à le créer.⋆｡°✩
💥"Selfie" tells the story of how smartphones entered our lives, hand in hand with social media. 🎶 Each of us reveals different sides of ourselves, hoping to gain recognition from our peers and sometimes from a much wider audience. For some, it’s also a way to build self-confidence. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it.⋆｡°✩

Petit extrait :
[Couplet 1]
Selfie, l’important c’n’est pas qui tu es, Pixels éphémères, reflet d’une starlette.
Posture d’un jour, l’important est d’exister. Balayer tes doutes, faire place nette.
Miroir sociétal, dis-moi est-ce qu’j’ suis belle ? Cliché plaqué, un sourire sous la pluie ?
Cherche ton âme dans le creux des filtres, recueillir des followers, oublier ton ennui.
Tu es plutôt grande et élancée, Une robe cintrée, des courbes proportionnées.
Tu vis en Asie, en Europe ou au state, c’est le même Game, inonder d’images le net.
Postures suggestives, c’est fou comme ta singularité est d’une rare banalité.
On s’en prend plein la vue, mais dis-moi, j’en retiens quoi ? Qui est la vedette ?
 
[Couplet 2]
Culture de l'apparence, danse du regard, désir en silence, un corps qui se déclare.
Tu sculptes ton image comme une statue, pour masquer tes failles, tu dépeins tes vertus.
Déguisé tes vérités, vêtements d'illusions, ton reflet joue la séduction et la confusion.
Un clic, une pose, t'immortalise l'instant, Que reste-t-il lorsque s'éteignent les écrans ?
Retour à une réalité, bien moins idéalisée, sans fioriture, l’ordinaire de ta vie.
Sortie de la virtualité, se réapproprier, le mental est-il plus fort que l’image ? (fin du beat)
Des sourires pour masquer tes peines, un écran pour changer d’esprit.
Retrouver durant un moment, l’illusion de cette vie, nourrir ce mirage.
 
[Ritournelle]
Selfie, selfie, capture ma vie, un flash, un buzz, et j'existe aussi.
Selfie, selfie, reflet d'envies, je colore mon corps et tu es éblouis.
Selfie, selfie, capture ma vie, un flash, un buzz, l’image voit du pays.
Selfie, selfie, reflet d'envies, je te séduis, tu cherches ma compagnie.

Evolution

‘Right On, Right On’ and on and on and on… The duo’s iconic Cutis Mayfield sampling single came in many shapes and sizes around the turn of the century. Beginning as ‘Right On 4 Tha Darkness’ in 1999, it then became ‘Right On, Right On’ in 2000 with that legendary hypnotic bongo loop that brought the soaring strings and warm jacking groove together so exceptionally well that another version popped up a year later; with added vocals from Louise Clare Marshall, ‘Right On!’ smashed the UK mainstream, hitting number 15 in the official charts… And led to the Glasgow duo famously declining an offer to go on Top Of The Pops. Two decades later and they still don’t regret that decision.

“We’ve had a lot of remix and licensing requests recently for 'Right On, Right On’ with even a dodgy progressive house cover version appearing back in January. Soma’s release schedule was sadly full, so we thought, f**k it, let’s do a re-release on our own Darkroom Dubs label, and as it’s been 20 years since the first release, we thought it would be perfect timing for an anniversary edition too. Conor Dalton, from Glowcast Mastering in Berlin, was kind enough to remaster the original direct from DAT and to complete the package, we’ve also included a new dynamite remix from Fango, with Matthias Tanzmann revisiting his much-loved remix for a 2020 version.”

Warmer than it’s ever sounded before, the new Glowcast remaster comes complete with remixes from Matthias Tanzmann and Fango. Originally released in 2012 as part of Soma’s own 20 year anniversary, Tanzmann squeezes every ounce of soul possible from the percussion elements while Italian Fango gives ‘Right On Right On’ a right old shoeing with a massive lolloping disco bassline, marching pianos and an injection of funk positivity 2020 has sorely missed so far.

20 years deep, still taking us through the darkness, still focused on a bright future. We need music like this now more than ever. Stay tuned for more Darkroom Dubs dispatches very soon.

Available now from our Bandcamp & Beatport (12th June for all other digital stores & streaming platforms).
