Bass Incarnate, hosted by AfroOankali, celebrates bass music rooted in the African Diaspora alongside embodied mindfulness practices. Each show is a journey through genres including Bailie, Hip Hop, Footwork, Deep House, Afro Bass, Garage and 2 step with the intention to get you dancing. Bass incarnate begins with a downtempo embodiment practice, then builds up the polyrhythmic intensity before ending with some downtempo tracks to ground out. 
 
AfroOankali serves ritual bass: a hypnotic blend of low end frequencies and polyrhythms which celebrates the Afro-Caribbean influence in electronic music, underground club culture and the healing potential of bass music.

Bass Incarnate vol.1

Ancestral Club - Zoudreambia (Tiago Pereira BPM Edit)

With a raspy almost trembling voice Cali P is expressing what damage his friend's fear of bonding is causing to his girlfriend. On a rhythmical yet melancholic beat inspired by Caribbean and UK sounds, Cali P points out the insecurities and sleepless nights she is going through as an effect of his ghosting.  The introspective song about the issues of relationships in this digital age, launches the final phase of Cali P and TEKA´s “Vizion” album project which will be released in late September.

About the Artists
Cali P & TEKA launching the final phase of their “Vizion” project by releasing the intimate single “Heartbreaker”.
With his roots in Switzerland and Guadeloupe, Cali P bears an aura of spirituality, which is an essential part of his music. Which led him to combinations with artists like Stonebwoy & Seun Kuti (Rise Up & Shine), Capleton (Dem Ago Burn Up) or songs like “Herbalist” which got streamed 8,6 million times on Youtube. In his music & statements, he is addressing modern social issues, racism, and advocates for self-awareness. His three braided dreadlocks illustrate his faith that set as an example by his Rastafarian father. The sound aesthetic of Berlin-based producer TEKA is rooted in 70´s analog sound from Jamaica, spiced with current global music from UK, Africa, or the US. The Jamaican sound scientist Lee Perry and the legendary Studio One has a big influence on how he uses his vintage instruments like the Hammond X5, the Roland Space Echo, or the dynamic sounds of the Leslie. Within his more 20-year long career in music, he produced music with artists mainly from the Caribbean. In 2017 TEKA experimented on a new sound, which he showcased to the public in 2018 with the track “Was soll´s” by German rappers Trettmann and Megaloh. The same year he released “Baddest” with Cali P which was the first sign of their project - Vizion

Cali P x TEKA - Heartbreaker

Producer and multi-instrumentalist TEKA (LowLow Records) is back with a new release, nearly a year after dropping the full-length LP with Cali P, "Vizion." For the new single "Stand Up," he invited Cali and Berlin-based rapper JuJu Rogers into his studio in Kreuzberg. "My tracks bring the worlds of reggae and hip-hop together, like Cali and JuJu do in their music," TEKA says, "so to work with the both of them came naturally." 

JuJu's no stranger to mixing worlds, with roots in both New Orleans and Germany and a sound honed over decades that incorporates everything from rebellious reggae vibes to Marvin Gaye's seductive swagger. "It was an honor to work with them," he says, "I've been following their musical journey for years." 

In the session for "Stand Up," all three artists felt a vibe in the studio set off like the ignition of strike matches. 

Cali P: "When TEKA dropped the track [JuJu and I]just looked at each other and knew what had to happen. There wasn't really a discussion, the idea was right in front of us. With Juju, I wanted to make a track that has a strong revolutionary message. "Stand Up" is about the power of collective action in society, and the courage to speak out against injustice." 

With "Stand Up," TEKA, Cali P and JuJu Rogers craft a banger anthem that expresses their deepest wishes for us all to be free, rebellious spirits in the face of oppression worldwide.

Nguzunguzu-Got U (Canblaster and Berou rmx)

Be it in the tourbus, airplanes, hotel rooms, or the backstage of the venue — as a band, touring the world means spending a lot time together. In one of these creative hangouts between being on the road and being on stage, the Asian dream team and German ambassadors for Global Bass Music, SYMBIZ, invented a word expressing general positivity and summing up the experience of traveling around the globe: "YEERUH!" (Yeah-Ru).

Shaped into a song, "YEERUH"! is a steaming hot Global Bass anthem — Invented on the road, produced in the heart of Berlin and put to live for the first time in a township in Zimbabwe.

Now, together with three diverse remixes by Germany's bass-heaviest producer "Bukez Finest", Berlin-based Reggae innovator "Teka", and Peruvian Global Bass duo "Dengue Dengue Dengue", YEERUH! will be made available on SYMBIZ' very Bandcamp-site and in all stores worldwide on Friday, June 13th 2014.

NSS is led by musicians Love Lokombe and Bom’s Bomolo, having previously founded KOKOKO. This new project continues the contemporary Congolese tradition of reinventing electronic music by shaping and crafting music instruments made of household objects.

Iboto Ngenge means “power struggle” or “seizing the opportunity” but while words can only be roughly translated, the music reaches listeners unambiguously: A potent mixture of techno, rumba, soukous, zagué and dancehall with the unique “Kinoise” brand – the city that never stops innovating in the music landscape worldwide.

As a means to continue strengthening the links between Africa and Latin America, Eck Echo has tasked Colombian dub engineer Diego Gomez (Dub de Gaita) with the analog mixing of the stems, originally recorded by Levy David at Timbela Ba Studio in Kinshasa. With the aim to bring the lexicon of shared Colombian and Congolese music into the next chapter, we proudly present to the world the magnificent music of Ngwaka Son Systéme.

Michael - Club (Impromptu) (Photay's 1st Club Experience)

Known for their rich DIY spirit, Beijing-based underground label Do Hits has been steadily putting together unique sounds combining traditional Chinese elements and international dance influences, representing the new bass music culture of urban China. After sweeping through the beginning of Year of Monkey with the special CNY compilation, they are back with a brand-new collection. On Do Hits Vol.4, the prolific producer crew members are ready to erupt with creativity, while unearthing upcoming names from around the world. 
  
Jason Hou teams up with inner Mongolian multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Yider in the sinister “Data Forest”, while Guzz has Cantonese rapper Anshao featuring on his softly singing“Yue Guang Guang”. ZHI16 playfully opens “Bing” with a wicked human ambulance siren. Boss man Howie Lee makes fun of his own vocal samples in his beat adventure “Ni Ya Ma Ne”. A surprising discovery from Baltimore, Alex Wang generates possessed grooves with modular synthesizers and Japanese poem. Sonia Calico, Fang and Duanger representing Taiwan, drop 3 manifold tracks with a fun glimpse into the unique sound of the island. Chinese American Beatmakers Jyun Jyun and Bengfang blend international perspectives together with deep Chinese heritages in “Fire Monkey” and “Present Tense”. Beijing’s bass veteran HARIKIRI from UK contributes a trap-infused remix track for Mandarin singer Miss Melody’s “Yao Yuan Qi Dao”. London-based Finlander Kupla and Chinese girl producer Jeanie bring in different futuristic sounds with “Drift” and “Karman Line”. 
  
The iconic Do Hits sound is evolving so quickly that you can hardly predict what they have in store for you, except that they will always guarantee a mind-blower.

TSVI - INNER WORLDS LP

Cat. No. NHLP001
Release date: 9 November 2018
Format: Vinyl/Digital

Buy digital: goo.gl/MfkxCg
Buy vinyl: goo.gl/JA693d

Nervous Horizon is very proud to present TSVI’s debut album: ‘Inner Worlds’.

The album is about reconnecting to one’s true self and the discovery of the inner worlds: it is born from an ongoing artistic journey, which began in TSVI’s childhood.

The artist grew up with parents who practise Hinduism, which is quite unusual for an Italian family. In most recent times he was hugely inspired by his partner’s religious and musical background, after she exposed him to Middle Eastern music and Sufi ideologies. TSVI started creating tracks that were influenced by bellydance percussionists such as Emad Sayyah and Hossam Ramzy, combined with Dancehall, Tarraxo and Trance.

The album is largely influenced by the role of music in transcendental Sufi practices and resembles an inner journey through different states of meditation and self-discovery.

Vedic and Tantric knowledge are also important here. Each track is a state of mind from the opening one, ‘Root’, to the last one, ’Crown’, as they represent the first and last 
Chakras and all the other states found in-between.

Get ready to embark on a journey through mind, body and soul.

CALI P – HIT LIKE GUNSHOT (LYRICS) 

King in my place  4x
It happen today
It happen today
It happen in May 
It happen in May 

Shooting 
People looting 
Which real president would answer with shooting? 
The world is watching 
Who you fooling? 
There‘s been too much 
Unjust ruling 
Your strings still pulling 
We still been ruined 
Now we marching on the street 
And our gold is right there underneath 
Nestlé cruel (Zurich) 
Racist fuel 
IG booming
The angry
The guilty
And the ashamed 
After the wave
Will there be change 
Tell me why 
All of a sudden 
I'm feeling strange? 
I see your face 
Worried bout race 
It happen today 
It happen today 
It happen in may 
It happen in may 
It happen to me
Each and everyday

Slavery abolished 
But nuttn demolished 
The schooling system support the damage 
Media mek you panic 
Controled economics 
Historical bandit 
I say Check how dem plan it 
I can not stand it 
See the video 
Vomit 
Humanity
Damn it 
You needed the graphics 
To feel how it tragic 
Now go back in time
When I phone wasn't 
It sad don't 
Mi nuh want di pitty
Tek a trip 
Inna the real nitty gritty 
Africa so pretty 
still things ain‘t pretty right now 
Mi nuh want the pitty 
Tek a trip inna di real nitty gritty 
Where is the justice for those who die

Gunshot 
This hit me like a gunshot 
Gunshot 
This hit me like a gunshot 

My focus is home
Build up my zone 
No reason for me to leave africa
And be killed in America? 
I'm not here to beg please? 
You getting ceased 
400 years 
Still We ballin for justice and peace 
Wickedness increase
Sometimes I can't belive 
How do we let down our self, 
Like a king weh accept defeat
Marching to prove I am human 
Along with humanity 
Suppn is wrong 
Don't You see? 
I can not breathe 

Gunshot 
Feel it like gunshot 


King in My place 3x 
No time to waste
It happen today
It happen today
It happen in may 
It happen in may



(Lyrics: P.Nanon, Music: T. Jacks)

Caribbean-Guadeloupean -Swiss reggae artist Cali P goes hard on “Hit Like Gunshot” lyrics written while in quarantine in Gambia, West Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic. Evocative lyrics flow from a river of emotions related to the murder of George Floyd in the US city of Minneapolis by the police and the anti-racism protest movement towards change worldwide.  

A soul-stirring Afrobeats groove by Berlin-based producer Teka (also producer on Cali P’s Vizion) and acoustic guitar lines drive a potent brew of timely poetry exclaiming systematic racism, focusing on the root cause of the upheaval: "Slavery abolished but nottin’ demolished the schooling system support the damage." and calls out the injustice saying "there’s been too much unjust ruling" asking "Where is the justice, for those who die?" The artist makes searing observations in the context of his comparable safety in Africa, versus America, building his home as the bridge with its melancholic refrain states: “It happened in May….”  

A music video for “Hit Like Gunshot” filmed in Gambia, features vivid images of protesters in support of Black Lives Matter worldwide, carrying signs with messaging in solidarity. The names of many that have been victims of police brutality are listed as Cali P contemplates the global movement towards change from his perspective from the streets of Gambia.
