Singer and producer Brazen Rule comes from the city Lira in northern Uganda. He won the Pearl of Africa Music Awards for Northern Artist of the Year, was given 4 times the title as best producer at the Lango Entertainment Awards and was also chosen best northern Reggae artist of the year. He made himself a name as one of the most humble artists in the north because his lyrics are centered about the everyday people that hustle from day to day to earn a living, the market women, the single mothers or the orphans that were raised after the war in the north. 

Ancient Astronauts connected with Brazen Rule in 2017 when DOGU was part of the Rhythm Is Life Tour 2017 in northern Uganda and Brazen was one of the attendees of the workshop in Lira. For the final compilation of this tour he recorded the lyrics for “Bad Muje” to an older beat by Ancient Astronauts and Poldoore. And that version of “Bad Muje” became a big hit in northern Uganda and now people call Brazen Rule “Bad Muje” since that day. It is a saying for an older respected person, one with experience and skills.

But that original version of “Bad Muje” was never officially released. It only came out on the free download compilation of the Rhythm Is Life Tour 2017 that is available on Bandcamp. So for the upcoming label compilation “20 years Fantastic Freeriding” Kabanjak and DOGU of Ancient Astronauts decided to produce a new riddim for the song and give it a proper official release. And here it is!

++++++++++++   INSTRUMENTAL VERSION   +++++++++++

ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS' musical journey which took off with „WE ARE TO ANSWER“ and continued with „INTO BASS AND TIME“ now enters another sphere: The duo's all-new remix compilation „THEMES FROM TOMORROWLAND“ rounds up a strong circle of producers from all corners of the earth for dedicated interpretations of both albums' retro-futurist grooves.

Whether hailing from the US (DDAY ONE, NICKODEMUS, MAKER), the UK (DIESLER), France (AZAXX, HUGO KANT), Greece (CAYETANO, FLECK, KILL EMIL), Slovenia (JK SOUL) or the ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS' homebase of Germany (PROTASSOV, RAZOOF) – the featured remixers have all been chosen for the friendship and admiration they've shared with the 'nauts.

Based on the ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS' original material recorded with notable voices such as AKUA NARU, ASPHATE, AZEEM, BAJKA, MONSOON, RAASHAN AHMAD or THE PHARCYDE, the remixing artists present their soundscapes, ranging from dubby DOWNTEMPO GROOVES through eclectic JAZZ BREAKS, hefty DUB and DANCEHALL or slamming DRUM & BASS to downright HIP HOP.

The single new ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS track on „THEMES FROM TOMORROWLAND“ is its opener alongside rapper ASPHATE and cuts from DJ TOUCHNICE of the US crew MAXILLA BLUE: „THE ENEMY WITHIN“ is setting the scene for the album's innovative, colourful spectrum of grooves and sounds which is, in the end, so ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS.

SWITCHSTANCE RECORDINGS 
Quality music for advanced listeners!

"Switchstance" is taken from the culture of boardsports, meaning the skill used to change the stance (easily) by switching one's foot position. The stance in freestyle Snowboarding or Skateboarding, is either riding in "regular" (left foot forward) or "goofy" (right foot forward) position. This identifies a really skilled rider and opens up a whole new world of trick combinations.

The label's creed and therefore the style of its producers and DJs is to have ultimate freedom, whether in their musical movements or in "switching" between various styles. The aim of the label is to combine early musical influences such as Funk, Jazz, Latin, 90´s Hip Hop and Reggae with the most progressive techniques of electronic music production in order to create a new dynamic sound that pays respect to the diverse cultures it comes from. It is the soundtrack of the lives of artists that dedicate their time and energy to produce cutting-edge grooves for a conscious and openminded generation.

Inspired by the label members' and friends' lifestyles in music, boardsports, arts and travels; the sound of Switchstance is always in motion and reflects a unique vision and attitude towards modern life.
