Raashan Ahmad was on a euro tour some weeks ago and during his stop in Berlin we were talking music over dinner. I told Raashan that we are about to release an album with Ta-ku (which has happened in the meantime, check out the "DOWHATYOULOVE" album) and he asked me whether I knew that he recorded a full album with him some time ago during his last australian tour. No, I didn't know that and getting my hand on the album turned out to be not too easy as it couldn't be located for quite a while. In the end Raashan found it on an old hard drive and I was a fan of the album instantly. It's raw hip hop in the truest sense. None of the songs are longer then 3 minutes, quite some are around the 2 minute mark. Nothing but dope beats and raps with some unreleased Ta-ku instrumentals sprinkled in between. 

In celebration of both artists releases on Jakarta Records this year we figured it would be nice to give it away for free digitally and even better we decided that pressing it on wax would be nice too. Only 250 copies, numbered, no repress, the first 80 copies on clear wax.

16. Ta-ku & Raashan Ahmad - What I Said (Link to free DLL & limited vinyl in describtion)

823 Records - the brainchild of Jakarta Records and multimedia artist / producer Ta-ku - happily present first single from Australian producer Cabu EP “So Far To Go”, the hypnotically bouncy “Process” feat. fellow down-under heavyweights Milan Ring and label head Ta-ku. Heavenly synth pads, crisp percussive elements, combined with the ethereal voices of Ta-ku and Milan Ring harmonically push the sonic envelope to make this track an infallible groovy knockout. 

“Process” gives a taste of what’s coming from these artistic and creative powerhouses.

RAW THEORY corresponds with the inevitable, if not pre-destined, phenomena in which two avant-garde beat movements collide with one another. UK based label, Pragmatic Theory, and Northern California’s imprint, RAW DATA, have both alternated releases of iconic compilations since 2012. "RAW THEORY: California" is the first joint venture between the two camps with a focus on Californian beat-makers and their unique and diverse offerings, from the comfortably progressive to the classically trained blaps. This is the first of two volumes. 

Pragmatic Theory and RAW DATA (PTXRD) are proud that all the profits from this release will be donated to the local homeless shelter and food bank of Modesto Gospel Mission - https://modestogospelmission.org/ 

We'd like to thank Ikabod Bum for the hard work he put in to this project & to all the artists who were kind enough to submit their music. Without you all this would never have been possible.

Hey baby, how you doing?
Hey, I'm doing good, and you?
Where are you going?
I'm going to the party.. hmm
Ummh..you walking alone?
Emh.. I guess so
You wanna walk with me?
Well.. if you are not a freak, let´s go down to the street

My tanned skin beauty, so exotic make you noticed me
It´s the First time we meet, you got me talking walking to the party
"Hi, my name is Martin from Berlin"
"I´m Aloo from Rome, get a rum, cin cin! "
We talk a lot, we get along
Now says " I´m impressed, girl
Your English it´s good though
Sometimes I can´t understand your people,  
I see I see.. I guess you learned  it here, in Germany.."
"Let me ask you a question Martin: Are you complimenting me?
'Cos it sounds like you just insulted my country.
Do you think my people can´t speak it? 
Do you think  I'm a fuckin extraordinarity?

Te lo dico cico: Why you wanna annoy me?
Stereotypes base your brutality
Like you know what´s up on my streets 
and you come up with a magic recipe
What you mean? What you say? What do you think?
I'm right you right? heh?
What you mean? What you say? What do you think?
I'm right you right? heh?"

He says "daaamn! don't make it complicated girl
I love Italian girls, always emotional 
Full of drama your curves I´m sure you´re passionate 
But, why you act like a diva? We so close we need no visa!
Listen, your accent it´s sexy, gimme chills like Pepsi
The music of your tones get 'till my bones 
Justify the dance Y'all doing with your hands,
While talking to me, while meaning what u mean"
I say "WHAAAAT? I'm not a monkey, I'm not your friend
This is not ok, you got me mad, you like me cos you pizza fan!
And fetishize me like the family mum, 
The always smiley with the big bum

Te lo dico cico: Why u wanna annoy me?
Stereotypes base your brutality
Like you know what´s up on my streets
And you come up with a magic recipe
What you mean? What you say? What you think?
I'm right? You right, heh?
What you mean? What you say, What do you think?
I'm right you right, heh?

He says: "Italy bad productivity,
You guys got so many reasons to be so lazy:
Dolcevita, plenty of belle donne, sun an see" 
I say: "2012 I left my peeps to find my peace
Was 22 immersed in the blue
I´m not lazy, we got a crisi (economical crisi)
Aint got no friends out here, was alone drinking a Pils beer
No dad protecting me, mafia is neither part of the family
I grow up sharp with only women
Cos men back then could never take care of children 
Gotta work till late and when back home 
they eat and go to bed straight   
I never liked that.
Mama got dad at 14 and raised me telling 
"Don´t marry, you better go travel the world, you better be open girl"
And that´s what I've done, 
I got a round, I'm in Berlin now, try to find out how
Emotional yes, not cos of my provenience
Cos you got me stressed, bitch

And if you cant make him understand 
When you´ve tried again and again,
If you cant make him understand
Enjoy your day and go lose your self
Don't think about it

Deeda deeda deeda..

Aloo from Rome (prod. J.Lamotta Suzume)
