2020 marks a decade of Mecca:83, so for everyone who asked when more Mecca was coming to vinyl – here it is! Consider this the ‘best bits’ of the last decade; covering everything from the first Life Sketches EP to Quiet Moments which was released last month. We’ve managed to squeeze 20 tracks onto the release, so there should be something for everyone on there.

I’ve been dreaming of doing a release like this for the longest time; being an indie musician means not being able to afford a vinyl release for each and every project, so it’s genuinely humbling to be able to bring so many tracks to wax for the first time.

I hope you feel we made the right track choices! An extra huge shout goes to Ninetofive records for their support in making this happen. Pre-orders now available via qrates (don’t worry it’s not a crowdfunding campaign, pressing is paid for!).

ABOUT THE RELEASE
Myself and Joel VDK go back a while.......back in 2011 he created the artwork for my mix "Calls To Trane" for Monday Jazz. I immediately resonated with his work: I knew I had to connect with the brother again. 

Fast forward to 2016 and we're both proud to present our first collaborative project "ROAM". A combined comic book and beat tape project that we think complement each other nicely. 

I've tried my best to create a dusty tape feel to match the narrative of the comic: raw MPC & SP productions with no special effects. It's a little more loose than my previous excursions, but that's kinda the point. I hope you guys enjoy the vibrations. 

Who knows: we might do another one of these if you people dig it. Now go buy a comic book & bump some beats!

New EP "Third Ey Spectrum" out now!

https://solarsoundsystem.bandcamp.com/album/third-eye-spectrum

Coming off the back off a beat cypher for the good folks at Workinonit (Manchester), I realised it's been WAY too long since I put any of my music out there. So here it is - a quartet of tracks to see you through the heat of the summer.

Who knows, I might even put out a full project soon!

Brand new album 'Samskara' out now:
https://solarsoundsystem.bandcamp.com/album/samskara-2

Samskara is an almost universal concept across South Asia. In Indian philosophy, samskaras are mental impressions, recollections, or psychological imprints. In Hindu philosopy, samskaras are a basis for the development of karma theory. In Buddhism the Sanskrit term Saṅkhāra is used to describe 'formations'. In Pali it is referred to as Saṅkhāra.

This collection of instrumentals takes inspiration from across India and South Asia: from traditional India music to Bollywood Disco, from Luk Thung and American influenced Thai Funk. It's informed by over a decade of digging for obscure funky cuts from Malaysia to Myanmar.

Messages Part 1

Another week, another single from Life Sketches Vol.3! 

Honestly i've been a Grap Luva fan since my teenage years. Ever since Pete Rock introduced the world to INI via 'Fakin Jax' i've been devouring every beats & rhyme the younger soul brother has provided. I never imagined that 20 years later i'd have the opportunity to work with him and be a part of his musical history. I'm still soaking it in. Honestly, I can't say much more about this track other than LISTEN! 

Infinite love to Jabba Tha Kut for firing up his turntablism, Donald Malloy for his horn work and Joel VDK for keeping the visual fresh.
