Originally intended as the title track for ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS 2009 debut album WE ARE TO ANSWER, the song did not make the final cut for the album and remained among the hidden musical treasures of KABANJAK´s Evergreen Studio. Then in 2015, the song was rediscovered and made a free download on ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS Soundcloud page. 

Since that day, the song has gained nearly 80,000 plays on Soundcloud, inspiring Switchstance Recordings to officially release the song on all digital platforms worldwide. 

WE ARE TO ANSWER is not only a rediscovered song by ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS, but a stellar example of their trippy trademark style of dope beats mixed with deep organic grooves. A stripped-down melody combined with heavy drums and a groovy bassline build the foundation of this song and take listeners on an interplanetary space voyage with these two musical Astronauts. And when the beautiful guitar melody kicks in at the end, listeners are fully propelled into the cosmos of outernational dopeness by the Astronauts known as KABANJAK and DOGU. 

Grab your headphones and prepare for takeoff!

Another joint from the archives, produced by one of my favorite producers ODDISEE! This is a joint that I spit with my brother Big Daddy Kane. This was not some email Collab, this joint was me & Kane in the lab building a pattern and doing it the way we used to do it back in the days. Salute Emcees.

Fans of East Coast rap stalwarts Sadat X and El Da Sensei have been anticipating something collaborative from the duo known as XL for several years, and it’s finally come to fruition today with the first hint of their group titled release, a non-album standout in "We Must Stand."

If the soul-sampling production here sounds at all familiar, that’s because it’s handled by none other 9th Wonder. The North Carolina producer laced these two living legends with pure, neck-snapping fire that they use to kick knowledge about their worldwide travels, staying independent in a shady industry, and simply keepin’ it movin’. And you better stick around for the final verse, where the two MCs trade bars before giving way to Belgian turntablist, DJ Iron’s track-closing cuts.

If “We Must Stand” has you craving more from these two, don’t sleep on their most recent solo ventures, Sadat’s Never Left LP and El’s Try Again EP. As for XL, the album is coming soon on AVX Records/Empire Distribution. You can hear “We Must Stand” via the link below.

Van Gammon delivers a list of violent acts, both overt and subtle, outward and inward, detailed over production by ReezyTunez with additional help from SirTim and supporting vocals of YawnyBlew and arrangement by Nikal Fieldz. 

Lyrics
I grew tired of situational violence
If I’ma catch a body, it won’t be cuz of the climate
But I might take a life if it’s fighting to keep the system
Can’t cure the disease if all you treat are the symptoms
Oh that beautiful, pharmaceutical distributor
Money, glory, or the girls; which one you living for
Told to speak my mind but the SRI wants that info
Saw I was protected, now they eye’s a pair of emeralds
Put all my shooter in suits just so we can keep it corporate
I heard it’s okay to murder people who ain’t important
For a plate of prosperity when justice ain’t been served
Ya income makes you eligible to purge
School to prison pipeline, and my diet all swine
Eating all the failure, what they tell ya I’ma die tryin
To be rich, least that I could do is look the part
My aura lookin’ dark, my peace been pulled apart
Convinced that I’m too black for therapy
Racial wealth gap, Ya I learned that from Dairity
Smoke screened inhaled, rap verse like intel
I’ve been feeling ill but my inkwell
60 Thousand plus women went missing and they all black
These cases ain’t reported and they rarely get resolved, facts
Aye what you call that
Told God I Hate it Here He ain’t respond back
Aye what you call that
What you call that
Got the youth dem prepared for combat

Tell me why they diving in the deep
Lucky me survived another week
New world got no more violins
Newborns know one thing, violence

Put a fork in em
Ya he done for
Put a fork in em
Ya he done for
New world got no more violins
Newborns know one thing, violence

Capping and peelin’
Imagine the villains are sipping and mixing up pills
Slim as a bum on the block with a cup
But they pockets is stuffed like they missing no meals
All the ills, screaming for help like they well 
Dwelling and failing to feel
Back in the ville
All that I had was this baggage to last me a couple of years
I’ve been trying to pack but doubt I’ll make it back in decent time
This habitat ain’t ever have humanity in mind
It’s all trap and ain’t no answers where all the secrets lie
We just all get amped up, living backwards just to keep from dying

Tell me why they diving in the deep
Lucky me survived another week
New world got no more violins
Newborns know one thing, violence

Put a fork in em
Ya he done for
Put a fork in em
Ya he done for
New world got no more violins
Newborns know one thing, violence

Put a fork in em
Ya he done for
Put a fork in em
Ya he done for
Put a fork in em
Ya he done for
Guess somebody shoulda told ‘em this a blood sport
Whoa

Lyrics

The situation dey gimme high tension
So many things that I can’t mention
The story dey lead me to depression
The matter dey fear me to ask question
You know, you know know know

They wan control us
They tryna hold us down
Wanna hold us down
Together we stronger
We no dey bother
We standing taller
They tryna hold us down
Cannot hold us down

I’m proud to be me
I’m born to be free
I still dey believe

Release info:
"Tash’s Movement Recordings caps off a successful year by unveiling the first installment of their ‘ProgNoesis’ series. As the label continues to focus on an amalgamation of progressive house and melodic techno, this new endeavour looks to unite a cross section of both new and established artists from these popular blueprints. Featured on the first edition (in order of appearance) are: Not Demure, Julian Nates, Agustin Pietrocola, Mooh, Fabri Lopez, Abaze and Minders, Ta'kaam & Xtabay. [...]

Next up is Julian Nates who makes his label debut following releases on Clubsonica Records, Dopamine White and onedotsixtwo. The Argentinean artist delivers a deep, percussive groover entitled ‘Origami’. A well contoured low end brings a powerful flow to the piece, while murky motifs and ominous atmospheres add an air of mystery. Phasing tones bring a unique balance of tension and emotion across the final break, before a buzzing drop spearheads a driving finale. [...]"

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.
