Lyrics by Sean Palmer

The revolution will be televised
while the television is being revolutionised
the revolution will be in 3D 
you’ll receive anti-fog goggles through the post 
so you can watch the riots and starving babies streamed live to your sitting room
while you’re sipping your tea
you won’t have to move to switch the news,
for televisions will read your minds, 
follow your eyes, feed you lies, hear your baby’s cries and sympathise,
coz if you want your baby to sleep, 
one shift of thought a blink and it bleeps,
and you’ll have technicolor, holographic, digital, cyber fences with jumping sheep
yes the revolution will be televised
but will you have time to watch it if you need to respond to flurry of farcebook friend requests, a flood of invitations and clean your inbox from the damn notifications
yes the revolution will be televised but you may be too busy going mobile to notice
missing the revolution? theres an app for that
the revolution has started and its all on-line
there are photos and videos on facebook and vimeo
one says “this is how it started yo!”
you and 95 friends like this

refrain:
turn on, tune in, log on or download us
SPand Break Da Funk have come to start the fuss
Yeah! we’ve come from the future to save the past 
from a fate worse than death... its the mighty lard arse!
if you had an extra life, what would you do with todays?
would you live like you live or would you change your ways?
don’t be fooled by what you see on your television
coz we all are the writers of the revolution
____

the revolution endlessly flows with public private info
And you’ll be in fo 
a big shock can you hear the tick the doomsday clock
google that and you’ll be unsurprised 
that this too is being televised
to all those with a remote, sitting on your butt
think you got control, well you not
as the television merges with the internet
todays shallow channels will grow infinite 
,go for a run, leave your house
interact with some people, get off your mouse
all your clicks count and as your clicks mount
some young buck is making big bucks
on the back of your choices, 
as preempted voices on the cyber market aisles 
spanning virtual miles and miiles and miles and miles...
yet with one quick switch (its like bye bye bitch and) all the smiles are defiled
and cyber space becomes no place to be 
a lost cosmos, a nano particle, an article to find but it won’t be that
easy... to find when lost... coz its small... and... spike where’s the beat?
but no need to fear... for there are 7 men with keys,
masters of our universe, well versed in the verse of programming linguistically,
So if there is the big black out, ahhhhhhh!
six of them can back out, huh?
but one must turn the key, to reboot humanity

refrain:
turn on, tune in, log on or download us
SPand Break Da Funk have come to start the fuss
Yeah! we’ve come from the future to save the past 
from a fate worse than death... its the mighty lard arse!
if you had an extra life, what would you do with todays?
would you live like you live or would you change your ways?
don’t be fooled by what you see on your television
coz we all are the writers of the revolution
_______

yes the revolution will be televised, for we run the television, we are the television, our society programmes what we watch and though we cuss, we watch us.
as cables carry hyper speed news to your home
the revolutions not happening alone
you and i will be sitting there, pretending its happening elsewhere,
yes the revolution will be televised so you should watch it from a gym or somewhere like that
coz we’ve see the future and its grim oh its fat
but not like hyped, like woow, like good, 
but like too much fat and too much food, 
yes there’ll be harmony between the races
but we’ll all suffer from stuffing our faces
Gm crops were never cropped, instead our nations over adopted,
this form of fighting natural selection, finding science engineered protection,
feed the world, make it a better place,
but that don’t mean over load us with mountains a maize!
the meds developed to fight mass disease,
lead to over population and a global squeeze,
eeuurrghhhhh!
oh please, take heed, what we seed is not far off,
leave your car, stroll across the grass, buy a buss pass, for!
the revolution leads the large to be lean,
the messed up minds fighting to be clean,
the searchers hoping for wisdom to glean and 
even the supreme being 
will be seen to evolve in the gleam 
of the revolutions 
full beam

refrain:
turn on, tune in, log on or download us
SPand Break Da Funk have come to start the fuss
Yeah! we’ve come from the future to save the past 
from a fate worse than death... its the mighty lard arse!

don’t be fooled by what you see on your television
coz we all are the writers of the revolution


Break Da Funk - Muppets Revolution

I started this about 6 years ago and then got stuck but was spurred into action when I saw that Jeremy Sole had already had a crack at it. I kind of went back to what I'd done on this and thought it was worth having a go at finishing it. I already know there are purists out there that will hate it but where would we be if we didn't experiment a little from time to time? I'm a massive Tom Waits fan and have tried squeezing the original into DJ sets but it just didn't quite work somehow. (I'm still kind of fearful the man himself is going appear at the bottom of my bed one night dressed as circus ringmaster and carrying a grim reaper's sickle to dispatch me to the underworld for my insolence.) 



Tom Waits - Step Right Up (Griff rejig)

'Don't Mind Them'  is the first single extracted from Oghene Kologbo's long-awaited second album 'Africa Is The Future' , to be released in december 2016 on Paris DJs. Kologbo was Fela Kuti's tenor guitar player in Afrika 70. It was only in 2007 that he put out his first solo album, 'Remember Fela' , with the berlin-based Afrobeat Academy (which would later on evolve into Ebo Taylor's band for his 'Love And Death' album). He's been playing with everyone from the afrobeat scene since then, on stage and on record, spreading his knowledge of afrobeat to every interesting musician interested.

In his own words :
"The tune just happened on the spot at Paris DJs, near the end of july 2015. Loik had sent my music to Djouls & Phabao because he was busy. I came to them, we just sat down, and I said "OK, if Loik is delayed, what if we did another song?". They replied "When ?". I said "Now ! Are you ready", and that's how we started. I played the drums first, it was good. Then I played the bass, it was getting better, then the guitar, then the doung, ding, deng deng deng… oof! and it was there.

'Don't Mind Them' is still afrobeat, but the old school taste. And it's the classic, because I play Afrika 70 style. No matter what you hear, this style was kept. Some people like to play Bob Marley style, some people play ska… I love the classic. Tony Allen has a style already, it's the Tony Allen. Femi Kuti has his Positive Force. Seun Kuti keeps the Egypt 80 style. So me I go back to 70. Orlando Julius, Segun Bucknor, Fela, Monomono, Sunny Ade, that's my college of music. And I like the combination of Phabao and Loik, it's one up to my taste, yes. Good things never hide!

I've been doing workshop with Les Frères Smith, playing with them for almost 6 years now, I knew Saké Smith, I knew Fab Smith, instead of bringing some horn players from Berlin or from Bruxelles, I had those ones right in front of me, and we gave it a go ! Daniele from World Squad is on this one too, he played with me many years, so I gave him a chance.

There's also backing singers from South America. Girls from Newen Afrobeat, a band from Chile. This came accidentally, incidentally. I didn't know them. The day we layed down the track, the band was in Paris. They came to see me in the evening at the place I was staying, all of them. We had fun. When I put my new music on, they started singing on the chorus! I said "Would you like to come to the studio tomorrow to record it ?" We practiced, did a workshop together that night. They are good, I was lucky they passed around ! I even played with them and Tony Allen a few days later…

'Don't Mind Them' comes from suffering. That day we were talking, and it just came to my head. I remembered all the stories I was telling, my experience. I see all the problems around me: television, politicians, my so-friends and the people I work with… They promise you that, they promise you this… everytime it's zero. That's how I came to "Don't Mind Them". I want to be myself. No matter what will happen, it'll happen. I'm kickin', movin', I don't mind them." — Oghene Kologbo, september 2016

In the summer of 2003 we joined forces with arguably one of the world's best Soul vocalists, Fat Freddy's Drop frontman Dallas Tamaira. Just before release the label folded and as a result the EP was never released... until now. Head over to The Nextmen website now to download this 4 track EP, absolutely free.

The Nextmen vs Joe Dukie - Hold Me Now

Long time collaborator and resident DJ of the UKs longest running club funk and soul promoters, Jelly Jazz. Also exploring new style of clubbing with Rambunctious Social Club project in the southwest of Britain. Recently returned from 16 months in latin America traveling with my wife and collecting sounds as I go with a Sony PCM D50 handheld field recorder. We made a baby in Peru who was born back in England last June...a daughter! So time is short now...I'll be fitting music whenever I can. 

REQUEST FOR HELP and ADVICE:  I see Soundcloud as a fantastic learning opportunity. I'm the first to admit I'm a beginner at production. If there are any half competent producers out there that can clearly hear problems with my tunes or things that I could improve on then PLEASE do let me know. I'm not proud. It can be incredibly difficult to get good advice about sound production so I greatly appreciate constructive criticism. Bear in mind I'm mixing on headphones at the moment. Also all of my remixes are additive in that I have to take the entire original and add parts to it. I can't take anything away because I don't have access to studio track files. But any help you can give me would be appreciated.  Cheers Griff

PS I've also started the 'Nueva Andina' group and will be moderating that to help promote the artists that are experimenting with modern forms of Andean music.
