Thank you for the love and support!!

A bit more then a year ago I received a message from Déni Shain, a french music producer based in Lisbon. In that mail he asked me if I would be interested in releasing music from Cabo Verde since he was close to Chico and Wilson, the 2 DJs behind Celeste Mariposa (an excellent portuguese/angolan soundsystem specialised in lusophone music). 'I can convince them to make their record collection available to you' he added. I asked him if he could send me a selection, not knowing the amount of work my request would represent. I only later found out that the three-men-team had spent a whole week to pick and choose what they thought was adequate and another few days to wash the record and digitise the music.

I received that selection in March 2013 and I haven't stopped listening to it since. I clearly remember having that wonderful feeling when songs keep growing on you the more you listen. 'Very good sign' I thought! The collection of songs I had received became the base for a whole concept and we all started criss crossing Europe and Cabo Verde looking for more music and looking for the Cap-Verdien artists we loved. Déni Shain became an important asset for the Analog Africa label, supporting us with remixes and mixes but more importantly with an addictive positive energy.

After his first mix for us, the amazing 'Ghana Soundtrack' made out of unreleased and rare tracks from the small west african musical powerhouse, here is his second instalment made of handpicked dancefloor filler. A huge shout goes to legendary african music connoisseur John Beatle, to Carlo Xavier for letting us use his fantastic edit of "O Anel"  and to my close friend Keith Slater for offering us some of the fantastic music included here.

Sextape 3

Sounds like Kan Kick and Declaime have been in the kitchen cookin' up some goodies that'll definitely give you a sweet tooth...
Cake boss goes straight for the gut but without all the high fructose corn syrup...
Produced by the man Kan Kick, also known as Kan Zulu...Kan The Man, and many other fonk aliases..but one thing's for sure: there is only one Kan Kick...and this joint here kicks like a whole afternoon of kungfu...might need a little foot surgery after this one...and to add to it...we have Dr.Stokley the Fonk Monk also known in some of the last true hip hop circles as Declaime the Poet...
Declaime always has something serious to say...and man...does he say it!!...all I have to say is these two together are a combination unmatched...
I heard through the grapevine that a full Kan Kick & Dudley Perkins album is in the works. ..no rap...all singing...that should be very funky as well as very interesting...keeping fingers crossed!

Taken off of Locations: Germany by the Jazz Jousters - https://millenniumjazz.bandcamp.com/album/locations-germany-cassette-digital

As previously mentioned in the 'Twenty Fifteen Newsletter' we were going to make a tribute project dedicated to Germany as the Germans (as well as the Japanese, the English, the Scottish, the French, the Aussies, the Americans and the Brazilians etc) seem to have a lot of collectors who are consistently snatching up these cassettes and enjoying this little nostalgic format as much as we are. 

We hope you like this session. This month we have a somewhat smaller, but intimate batch of flips from sampling German Jazz music! 

Next Up: Locations Nigeria, coming soon. Keep ya eye peeled for updates, and keep Jousting!!

The first single from Saul Williams' upcoming album
MARTYR LOSER KING
Coming 2016

LYRICS:
Running down a dark street. App that got a flashlight. 
Nike swoosh on bare feet. Whitney Houston's crack pipe. 
The Greatest Love Of All. Watch me rise to watch me fall. 
Contemplating. Rent is late in houses that I can't afford.

Showed my papes at heaven's gates they asked me for my Visa. 
Lived a life without no hate so tell me what you need, Sir? 
Question your authority. Genocide and poverty. 
Treaties don't negate the fact you're dealing stolen property.

Hacker. I'm a hacker. I'm a hacker in your hard-drive. 
Hundred-thousand dollar Tesla ripping thru your hard-drive. 
Oh Jesus, pull the chord. Seat-belts, what you standing for? 
Buckle up. Let's knuckle up. And tell Mohammed bring his sword.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Vigil in the middle of your occupied locations 
One that burns for haters; one that burns for Haitians.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Burning in the middle of your mosques and in your chapel.
Licking that forbidden fruit through bitten glowing apples.

Factories in China. Coltan from the Congo. 
Smuggled to Burundi. Hidden in a bongo. 
We beat a mighty drum. Changes go before they come. 
Guns and ammunition pay tuition for the desperate young.

Hacker. I'm a hacker. I'm a hacker in your hard-drive. 
Hate ain't no security. I'm hacking thru your hard-drive. 
Information Highway. Tunnel-vision Highway. Exit 17 
Yo bring them mthrfckrs my way!

Virus. I'm a virus. I'm a virus in your system. 
Fuck your history teacher, bitch. I've never been a victim. 
I'm just a witness. Hitler can come get this. 
Rabbis in Ramallah throwin' burqas on these bitches.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Vigil in the middle of your occupied location: 
one that burns for haters; one that burns for Haitians.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Burning in the middle of your synagogues and chapels.
Licking that forbidden fruit through bitten glowing apples.

A favorite CloudDead song...amongst many, Yoni and i wrote these lyrics as we "saw" them on a fated trip to retrieve CDRs from deep east oakland, hopefully Yoneroner and i will take some more poem bent trots in the near future. Years ago i used to switch the heads on stuffed animals and give them as gifts to people, i gave one to Boards of Canada at a Warp lighthouse party i attended with Prefuse73 a million years ago,and we have been friends ever since...i also gave one to Bjork that night, she looked at me like i was a child molester:)

skyrider - into the light (JEL remix)

One day we all wake to find fish bowl rocks 
in our right front pocket
and movie ticket stub from the local morgue kept safe there in the other.

“and when you stop to read…you have to leave a rock…”

Convincing living human beings that you yourself
are convinced of living human beings…

are you no longer the propmaster cleaning up fake blood between shots
coming home feeling dirty from a long night of nearly being yourself

singing ” 6million ways to die, choose one.” 

are you not now
the type of hardly there people
 who’s hands never fail them.
not even in dreams…

or do your arms just jut from the wide side of an interior wall,
your classic colored in heart pulled pounding 
in those ‘o’ so seprable palms
on the sleep reverse solve of a frozen lake’s living pit.

all there where you are,  sun starved and american 
holding your breath against a still fleshed chest full of “should bees”

You see…
however so slightly permanent
these have been things sung that will never be songs…

never more wet concrete for song street…
this is not more wet concrete for sold song street…

not nice warm concrete for beneath lord songs cold feet…

not poor song meat…

not song not more raw wheat…

for a most phobophobic yourself
ever spitting bit nail and rerecordable grief
