Scott met Guadalajara based vocalist Anahali while scrolling his Instagram feed on a chill pandemic day. The video she posted from her bedroom in Mexico sparked the goosebumps that led to their collaborative journey combining elements of her folk medicine song with deep driving bass and percussion. Almost one year later they met in person in Mexico to film their first music video, framing the beauty of Anahalli's home country with the majesty of their musical creation.
lyrics
Mi ritmo que va en silencio
Va conectaado al corazón.

Latidos que van unidos
desconectados de la razón.

Adentro me voy al centro y
voy volviendo a lo que Soy.

El Alma, despierta y canta
con esa fuerza donde hay
unión.

Caminos que van al Sol


English Translation:

My Rhythm that goes in silence It is connected to the heart.

Beats that go together disconnected from reason.

Inside I go to the center and I go back to what I am.

The soul awakens and sings with that force where there is
Union.

Roads that go to the Sun

Adentro del Sol

Potent stores of life force lay hidden in the depths of those dim unconscious places. Prepare for a journey to recapture prana from the depths in order to fuel inspired heights.

@monkeysafari continue their fine run of form with new single 'Universal Love.' 

This newest track comes after the likes of 'Hi & Low' and a remix of Super Flu earlier in the year. Both of those are taken from the esteemed German pair's Body Language Vol. 24 mix which arrives later in 2022. It will offer a superb insight into their sound as both studio wizards and dexterous DJs who span all forms of house music. Famed for their curious melodies and richly designed grooves, the pair put out their 'Love Will Set U Free' album last year and keep on evolving their sound with his latest single. 

'Universal Love' is a feel-good house track that builds with rising piano chords and hip-swinging claps. The smooth drums are warm and inviting, and as the loops build, so do the soulful vocals. The sound of a happy crowd adds another layer of good vibes as this irresistibly uplifting house tune plays out in style. 

Monkey Safari serve up another superb trip with 'Universal Love.'

Universal Love

Monkey Safari - Universal Love (Snippet)

Another track from the Night Moves Project. I remember, when I was a child, my dad driving us over Holme Moss, late one freezing Boxing Day evening. The fog was so dense, visibility was just a few yards and we progressed at little more than walking pace. The road ran along a sheer drop and, at that time, there were no barriers. Having total trust in my dad, I thought it was thrillingly exciting. In retrospect, we should have gone the long way round...

German DJ duo andhim brought us 'The Wizard of Us' last year, making their debut on Get Physical Music with the 2 track EP. While the title track was a small hit in its own right, it was the b-side, 'Hausch' that stole the stage with its sunny vibes and feel-good atmosphere. Now the boys have given the track to fellow Cologne artist Dürerstuben, Denmark's Kölsch and American techno-legend George Morel for a highly anticipated remix treatment.

Gunshot blues is the first track I have written and recorded. I recorded the track at HQ Studios in Manchester. I first started writing the song about 7 years ago but then moved onto writing the next song and then the next song and so on. I finally got around to finishing this one last year and taking it to the studio to record. I play the guitars, bass and there is an organ somewhere in the background. I then attempt to sing as well. Drums are a mix of samples put together by the producer. There is some other percussion in there such as tambourine and I don’t know if there is a technical name for it but “shaky egg”? My Dad did those as he came with me to the recording studio when i did this track and I wanted him to be a part of it. See what you think…..

Disquiet Junto Project 0581: Helsinki Downspout

The Assignment: Use a rhythmic field recording as the foundation for a new track.

Step 1: This is a shared sample project, one in which all the participants will utilize the same provided recording, about a minute and a half long, as the rhythmic element for their own music. Access the track, originally recorded by Scott Fletcher and used with his permission, here:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/helsinki-downspout 30

Step 2: Listen to the provided track several times. Think about ways to map its content, perhaps making notations about when certain unique, momentary aspects surface.

Step 3: Record an original piece of music for which the provided music is the underlying rhythm. You might take this quite literally, using the source as it is, resulting in a track that is precisely 1:35 long. Alternately, you might elect to sample and rework the source material. If you go the latter route, make certain that the original sound is, at least at some point in the finished track, recognizable.

Step 4: Because this is a Creative Commons resource, be sure to identify Scott Fletcher as the original recorder of the source material, and include a link to the source track. Identify the license as: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0).

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0581” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0581” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0581-helsinki-downspout/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. How long did the rain last?

Deadline: Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, February 20, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, February 16, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

Escucho tu risa  /  I listen your laugh
y oigo tus pasos, espero.  /  and hear your steps, I wait.
Te miro, y al ver tu sonrisa,  /  I look at you, and seeing your smile,
no dudo, te quiero.  /  I don’t doubt, I love you.

La suave fragancia en tu cuerpo jovial,  /  The soft fragrance in your cheerful body,
llegó el amor, tu perfume me excita,  /  love came, your scent excites me,
tu cálido aroma, es primaveral,  /  your hot aroma, is from springtime,
y versos de amor sobre tí me recita.  /  and verses of love about you it recites me.

Tu risa sincera,  /  Your laugh is honest,
tu risa, hermosa,  /  your laugh, beautiful,
tus labios, preciosa,  /  your lips, precious,
hacen que te quiera;  /  they make me to love you;
si bien yo quisiera  /  Though I wanted
con ellos hacer otra cosa:  /  with them to do another thing:

¡Ay si yo pudiera  /  Ay if I could

In Seclusion

Gurdjieff believed that most humans live their lives in a state of "waking sleep," in which they are largely unaware of their true nature and potential. He taught that through self-observation and conscious effort, individuals could awaken to their higher selves and gain access to a deeper understanding of the universe and their place in it.

One aspect of Gurdjieff's work that relates to the idea that the world as a simulation is his concept of "objective reality." He taught that most people are trapped in their subjective reality, which is distorted by their conditioning and beliefs. Objective reality, in contrast, is a more accurate perception of the world as it actually is, free from the distortions of individual perspective.

In this sense, Gurdjieff's work could be seen as a way of "hacking" the simulation of reality, by breaking through the illusions of subjective experience and accessing a more objective and truthful understanding of the world.

Night just slips away
And the morning comes the sun awakes

I want you to stay
But you close your eyes and drift away

I believe 
We can live in harmony

I feel free 
When you re near
We will always be together

Please

Believe me

Chorus

When you call my name 
I ll be by your side
Everything will be alright

No more tears to cry
No more fears to fight
Everything will be alright

Call my name
When you
Call my name

Verse 2

Rain begins to fall
And the night is falling over me

Darkness takes control
I wish you were here close to me

Chorus

When you call my name 
I ll be by your side
Everything will be alright

No more tears to cry
No more fears to fight
Everything will be alright

Call my name

When you call my name 
I will be there for you each day
All your worries then will not matter

If you call my name 
I promise I will find a way
I will change your life for the better

I say

Chorus

When you call my name 
I ll be by your side
Everything will be alright

No more tears to cry
No more fears to fight
Everything will be alright

Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time - feat. Mike Hill

This is an old song, originally written in 1992 or '93 while on a hitchhiking trip through the Nevada desert from Boise to Tucson Arizona. It took my friend and I eight days on the road to travel about 700 miles. 

The title is a reference to the two of us standing on opposite sides of the highway, willing to take a ride any direction as long as it got us out of there. It's about desperation, resignation, freedom, harassment, and finding beauty in the midst of extremes.

It is an experience I will personally never forget, and I have written the story once before but it was destroyed when a computer crashed and literally caught on fire before I could print it.

In the last few years I have started to try and tackle writing it again, and I stalled out a bit. Maybe revisiting this song will help inspire me to finish   documenting the tale?

You can read what there is of it here: https://twowaythumb.wordpress.com/

Ron and I originally recorded this song with our old band Godzoundz, but it was only ever released on a very limited cassette run. We decided a while back that we should chip away at re-recording these songs and try to give them their due as it was all pretty deep underground back then. So here's the first one of those.

Our basement studio flooded a couple weeks ago and production has been temporarily slowed, so we thought we'd trot out some of these oddities and misfits while we chip away at reworking our studio and getting it put back together. Hope you enjoy!

For the first installment of the Selected + Mixed series, the brothers @MonkeySafari was an easy choice. I started deejing around 2010 and their tracks were a staple in early mixes. The way these dudes write house music helped me figure out how to mix a tight set and understand the basics of dropping booty. After years of consuming their tunes I finally got to to see them bring the vibe on their first North American tour in Denver at 1UP on Colfax with free entry and $2 PBR tall cans.

This duo is putting out a serious amount of music so these songs represent a small slice of their massive genre spanning catalogue. Be sure to check out their albums and endless list of singles in addition to these few favorites I have been playing out for years.

1. Coming Down (Hi-Life Radio Edit)
2. Stella Soul feat. Sol Lopez - Cool Guy (Monkey Safari Remix)
3. Roland Clark - Have A Good Time (Monkey Safari Remix)
4. Garden State
5. Super Flu feat. Monkey Safari - Me Roar
6. Watching The Stars
7. Monkey Slap
8. ZDS feat. Spoek Mathambo - We Should Bang (Monkey Safari Hells Bells Remix)
9. Make You Sweat
10. Rodrigo y Gabriela - Tamacun (Monkey Safari Remix)
11. Chocolate
12. Alte Dame
13. Berlin
14. Liverpool
15. Those Dancing Days

Inspired by my current read of "How to DJ Right" by @BillBrewster.
