... and we're back! Exactly one year after releasing our last tune, here finally comes something new, which has been in the making for a long time, but hey, these are challenging times! A big big thanks to the Subactive family for letting us remix the original tune, released on Scotch Bonnet a while back. Take a listen, it's still extremely hot! https://soundcloud.com/scotchbonnetrecords/subactive-pepper-dem-ep. Super stoked we finally could work with a Speng Bond vocal :D Free wav download again on this one. Hope you people like it!

Our friend Il Fumo Uccide Enrico recently paid us a deadly visit in the infamous Needo du Bong Studio. Floating on the riddim like we've never seen him do before, he put down these Italian killer lyrics in a recording session that imposed itself at number one in the chart of Most High Recording Sessions Ever. To say the least, spirits were ... HIGH AS FUCK and creativity was flowing free. Memorable! Thank you IFUE, big big up!! Please keep it coming, we're ready any time!

S A X meet Aleksej - Green Fields

To quote the Bigfoot, our 'lethalisation' work comes to a new episode as marijuana-loving, shit-song-producing Lana dared to cross our path (after marijuana-loving, shitsong-producing Rihanna did the same thing). Who's gonna be next? There are just too many potheads like them out there... Btw, her ridiculous hat simply didn't do justice to the kind of buds Lana really loves ;)

S A X meet Lana Del Rey - Let's Go Get High (deluxe)

Finally here it is. Maybe the most time-consuming S A X work so far, but hey, it's so rewarding in the end! Mighty Planet Skunk 'pon di mic, mighty Rupert 'pon di guitar, plus the good KO2 effects for the extra niceness – it's a real treat! Denver Hell riddim made via Skype; recorded, mixed and mastered in Needo du Bong. Vocals or riddim freely available for remixes.

Coding, tweaking, leaking, hacking,
Wiring, making, soldering, crackin’,
We gonna shut your system down
We’ll make it blow, we’ll make it drown.
Stealing, burning, copying, ripping,
Chanting, partying, blazing, clapping,
Oppression has been on for a while
We’ll grind it up in a digital style.

I peer out the window, the trees move fast,
I know someone’s checking my present and past.
Where I’ve been, the folks I’ve seen,
What books I read and what magazines.
Dem a hungry, hungry to know more,
Sooner or later every detail is washed on the shore.
Dem a snooping, dem a always spying,
Turnin’ every single pebble after what you’re hidin’.

In a world built on data
Information are treasure
And in a world full of treasures
Dem are turning to robba
In a world built on data
Information are treasure
And in a world full of treasures
Dem are turning to vampaya.

When I get home me switch on computer
Dem a trying to track me but I am way faster
I got camouflage, for the sabotage
I use cryptography, concealed identity.
But before the clash me feel a little stiff
So me call Subalpine to burn some ganja spliffs.
We get in the mood composing digital
Now listen to this tune, it’s for your funeral.

Chorus

So we sneak into the mainframe tonight,
Suited for subversion, tailored for fight.
We are stealth and we carry some high-end gear
Heavily equipped, we don’t know no fear.
Stacking together a big sound system,
In the central brain, blow the dub siren.
Scoops, tweeters, horns and a nylon belt,
Our woofers will rumble ‘till your cables melt.

Party in the mainframe
We’re chanting the night of the end game
Party in the mainframe
Dem wicked spies shall go insane
Party in the mainframe
We’re chanting the night of the end game
Party in the mainframe
Dem wicked spies shall go insane

Chorus

It's been a while. Hooking up with the singer duo Connexion (Cameroun / Togo) this time for some fresh hip hop infused digital niceness. Got some new gear at work so let us know what you think. More to come.

S A X meet Connexion - La vie est dure

So here comes our second tune made in collaboration with the singer duo Connexion (Togo/Cameoon). The riddim was made for the most part during a glorious afternoon in Rotterdam, that is, baked AF. The mix was recorded to tape on a freshly cleaned & demignetised 1989 Nakamichi CR-2 with loads of tests to see what works best. On a 2 head machine this is a tedious task, but pleasant nevertheless, thanks to all the goodies ;) Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Fucking around with our dying CZ-101, which is officially dead now, despite the last jump-starter hack. Its curse made us close the half-finished thing without saving, so this is what's left. It all started from a vapor-induced recording of the 'disco' preset in the primitive drum section of our Farfisa organ. And on the same night more weird stuff happened in the studio... poltergeisting!

Sub Alpine meet CZ-101 - Bye Bye

... and we're back with this freshly baked remix of Dreadsquad & Kojo Neatness' banger Boom Sound. Enjoy with coffee and cream.

Something a bit different, with electric bass and upbeat sax. Hope you like it, feel free to voice it.

Bass Boss Riddim

Finally we publish this one featuring the mighty Jayslot Donblaster, a new addition to the local Sub Alpine ecology. Heavy CZ-101 use on the riddim (RIP). Actually the song was ready months ago _ too much 420 going on lately _ _ _

Anyway!! Trying to put something more in our style under the acapella, this banger came out. Something different for once, coming out of a few heavy post-lockdown studio sessions! Intense use of the Nakamichi tape deck on this one.
Enjoy loud every day at 4:20pm ;)
