Thanks to Dubmatix for making this one happen, this is my entry into the Dub Pistols Remix Contest :-)  This song is so epic and speaks to my heart and my hopes for humanity.  You can listen to it as a love song between two humans, but you can also hear it as an ode to reconciliation and unity between all of the beautiful peoples of our Mothership.  Started this one out minimal and deep but this crazy 80's vibe took over and turned it into such a party that I couldn't stop... Behold the Dub Pilots ft Rhoda Dakar - Stand Together Rise Ashen Balearic Ragga Ravers 4 Unity Remix!   Dying to play this one at a huge beach party for a diverse crowd!! Be good to each other, all!

IT'S OK

Involuntary reaction a motion a movement but stagnant 
And still a vibration a way of creating and being and  still dreaming 
And living so far from reality 
Tragedy lonely a knowing a grooving a movement a lust 
Lack of commitment and trust 
A garment a fabric so feeble 
a needle a piercing a cut 
A bleeding a needing
A  feeling a water a motion 
A body movement a motion 
A question direction reaction retraction of statement 
A payment a question a cause movement your stupid a clause
Question direction and doubt folding your lips and twisting your mouth 
Asking and axing your cutting me up, I like it you love it im drowning in covet, uncover a closure, indecent exposure I want you to see me
and need me inside run into fear its a place where I hide
Want it need it, a choice and a voice aint enough 
Im weary but fiending your touch 
I limit myself im inside your obsession confession 
A toxic erotic explosion like fire tornadoes and natural disasters
Like fermenting flowers a bloodlust and botany 
Love you and hate you a twisted delicious dichotomy   
 
I love it, the madness, addiction, I hate you (8x)

Black like spaces they avoid
A conscious void a healing wound
Bass with the boom bi bitch the switch 
The cut to bleed through time matter and text
Digital sex and you’re so attractive after the capture I am the captain 
Spells in my captions everything with intention, you’re name i try not to mention pure 
A love lust a wanting 
A freedom a craving more, you’re willing I’m able. The truth and the fable 

Caught inside a digital rhythm 
Inside a synthetic bass a noise 
The boys and girls screaming 
Inside their minds unwind your pose and unfold your posing pawns 
Understand no knowing on 
Going flowing of interweb woven rhythms mad made disease and systems 
In systems 

On your back, on your Mac
In your head in your mind 
all online all the time 
all sublime 
altered kiss alt control on my soul
 no delete just escape die repeat lost in limbo inside the beat no ready quite out to bd found interweb wave feet off the ground 

Ready to serve ready for consumption 
Satisfy supply your quick fix. 
Test that taste can’t wait for my lick

[Intro]

Oh
Oh

Yeah...

[Chorus]
Tic for tac
I don't wanna toe the line anymore
Tell em that 
You'll be moving into my place
Issa pact
Bags I'll pack for you to walk through the door
eX is mad 
You'll be having Os on my face

[Verse 1]
Breaking his equivocation 
When he calls you baby
He don't mean his love
He means a child
Like he's cradling
Cribs and cars and ladies
Can't trust what he's saying
He's only got tricks within his cards
And you ain't a trick fuck that

[Pre-chorus]
Tonight I'll drive
Gonna pick you up 
We can X & O and cross
Out his moves 
It's your (uh) big move

[Chorus x2]
Tic for tac
I don't wanna toe the line anymore
Tell em that 
You'll be moving into my place
Issa pact
Bags I'll pack for you to walk through the door
eX is mad 
You'll be having Os on my face

[Bridge] 
Whoa wh-wh-wh-wh
Whoa wh-wh-wh-wh
Whoa wh-wh-wh-wh
Whoa, he won't like that
Whoa wh-wh-wh-wh
Whoa wh-wh-wh-wh
Whoa wh-wh-wh-wh
Whoa, he can taste that

Tic 4 tac
Dick him back
Tit 4 tat
X his O & O

Tic 4 tac
Dick him back
Tit 4 tat
X & O

Oh
Oh

Yeah...

[Chorus]
Tic for tac
I don't wanna toe the line anymore
Tell em that 
You'll be moving into my place
Issa pact
Bags I'll pack for you to walk through the door
eX is mad 
You'll be having Os on my face

[Outro]
I said yeah
I said yeah
I said yeah
I said yeah

Toronto is currently ranked as one of the most ‘livable’ cities in the world, and many established and emerging creatives call the city home. But in a place formerly (and sometimes still) known as the “Screwface Capital”, how do artists who exist on the margins create work and build community amidst rising rents and closing venues? Whose City Is It Anyways? explores the challenges, lessons learned and beauty of pursuing artistic passions in Toronto. It highlights the strength of communities that fight to exist against the constant pressures of a rapidly changing city.

WOOO CHAWL - VJUAN ALLURE vs ULTRA NATE

Meet cheeky R&B creator, R. Flex. They dare to change the shape of R&B, blending in electronic sounds and pop hooks. Channelling the impish spirit of Janet Jackson, Tinashe, and Kelela, they push the genre’s BPM to exciting places. Their commitment to storytelling through music and fashion explores intimacy, self-discovery, and identity. They challenge traditional narratives of love and self-love, creating safe spaces for queer joy and expression. As a Black non-binary transfemme, authenticity is at the core of their work. 

Their high-energy 2022 EP Flex With Benefits earned praise from Exclaim, Bandcamp, and The Star. Featuring collaborations with Tafari Anthony and Desiire, the EP explored queer desire and empowerment. Tracks like ‘Too Late,’ ‘4U,’ and ‘DNA’ earned global recognition, appearing on queer playlists in Amsterdam, Toronto, and New York. 

In their second EP of 2022, Once Upon A Flex, R. Flex slowed the BPM but heightened the vulnerability, garnering critical acclaim from Earmilk as a trailblazer. As one of the first artists to perform at Club Quarantine, their electrifying performances solidified them as an underground star in the making. They’ve opened for artists like Haiku Hands, Khalifa, and Shad with a flair that continues to make its mark. Distinct and forward-thinking, you have every reason to Check The Flex.
