After the great success of Jerk House Connection's "Velvet Touch" release, STALWART is quite proud to present you its 21st release from one influential member of the infamous broken beat UK combo BUGZINTHEATTIC: Orin Walters aka AFRONAUT. Orin heard the slam poetry of Suheir Hammad, a speech about the will power not to give into extreme ideological, political and/or religious undemocratic systems. He craftly joined his minimalist deep groove to emphasize it, giving birth to EYE WILL NOT, a track that is sure to be noticed in any sets. On the remix treatment, BUGZINTHEATTIC have been working on their classy broken beat treatment, whereas DJ RORK has been giving it an infectious hypnotic house touch with an heavy bass, while deep house man of the moment DJEFF AFROZILA relift it for the more South African House Music dance floors, and MISSOLESS did an amazing breakbeat rework.

Another quality and classy release from STALWART !!

SUPPORTED BY:

PHIL ASHER, OSUNLADE, RALF GUM, RICH MEDINA, GROOVE ASSASSIN, ATJAZZ, TEDD PATTERSON, VINNY DA VINCI, SHANE D, MASTER KEV, TONY LORETO, RICHARD EARNSHAW, OSCAR P, LARS BEHRENROTH, SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS, FABIO GENITO, RAY VASQUEZ among many others !!!!



LYRICS!!!


I will not dance to your war drum. 
I will not lend my soul nor my bones to your war drum. 
I will not dance to your beating. I know that beat. 
It is lifeless... 
I know intimately that skin you are hitting 
It was alive once, hunted, stolen, stretched...
I will not dance to your drummed up war. 
I will not pop spin beak for you. 
I will not hate for you or even hate you. 
I will not kill for you. 
Especially...I will not die for you. 
I will not mourn the dead with murder nor suicide. 
I will not side with you nor dance to bombs
because everyone else is dancing. 
Everyone can be wrong. 
Life is a right not collateral or casual. 
I will not forget where I come from. 
I will craft my own drum. 
Gather my beloved near and our chanting will be dancing. 
Our humming will be drumming. 
I will not be played. 
I will not lend my name nor my rhythm to your beat. 
I will dance and resist and dance and persist and dance. 
This heartbeat is louder than death. 
Your war drum ain’t louder... than this breath.

dego ‘Too Much…’

After a steady stream of releases from the 2000 Black label which serve as a first course, Dego returns with his third album ; A full length LP of his contemporary adventures in modern sound. This album combines Dego’s consistent forward looking musical explorations with a host of instrumental and vocal collaborators introducing us to new talents and reminding us of those we may have heard before. Dego continues to find new perspectives within the musical landscape.

Collaborating with singers and songwriters all expressing a distinct sense of where, collectively, we are now. There can be no doubt that this is a time of questions in every way, changes in the world and industry that will affect us all. How and what role music plays in this journey is explored as with any artist in a personal and pensive way from a tear to a smile. There is no preaching here, only statements and explorations. Individuality and sonic diversity combine and reflect the many inspirations and evolutions of style. Cooking up a strong and distinct genre-defying mix of soul, two step, funk, jazz, boogie and R&B, all dance music’s that focus on heritage and natural rhythms.

Listening to the music is a relief and delight for lovers of groove and song-craft. It's a 21st century statement accessible and raw, whilst highly advanced in sound design and production. Holistic in breadth and deep in vision, it provides a way into this music for many, and challenges the cultural conversation about jazz without compromising or pandering. Music that utilizes a raw and sincere true openness narrative.

Release date September 6th 2019 on 2000BLACK

01 A Strong Move For Truth Ft Nadine Charles

Antonio Neves - Forte Apache (feat. Hamilton de Holanda)

We are very excited to premiere “Black Lives Matter”, a blazing hot and extremely timely Afrobeat song by brand new London-based supergroup, Eparapo. Due for release this Friday on the unstoppable Wah Wah 45s.

Eparapo came together during the unprecedented events of this year. Despite being a project born from the privations of lockdown, with their music they sought to create an expression of hope, resilience & resurgence. With a white supremacist still in the White House and far right rhetoric being normalised by governments across the world, Eparapo see Afrobeat, highly political from its inception, as a tool to fight injustice and corruption. 

In the current global political climate and especially under the spectre of lethal police brutality in the U.S., the B.L.M. movement is the most important since the civil rights era and attempts are being made to discredit it in the same way. Rather than standing idly by and hoping for the best, this group of musicians wanted to contribute to a soundtrack which inspires, engages & hopefully motivates listeners from across the spectrum. 

The word “eparapo” means “join forces” in Yoruba, the language of Afrobeat. In troubled times when so many seek to divide us, an expression of unity can be an act of defiance. A call to join forces, come together and fight back. Eparapo is also the title of a track by the late, great Tony Allen - drummer for Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti and lifelong friend and mentor of the UK's “Afrobeat Ambassador”, Dele Sosimi. Not only did Tony help to invent Afrobeat, he always looked for ways to push the boundaries, never content with recreating what had gone before but constantly expanding and developing the genre. This project hopes to pay homage to his legacy, and that of Fela Kuti himself. Its aim is to innovate, fuse and diversify while still retaining the essence of the music. 

Eparapo is led by bassist, composer & producer Suman Joshi. He has been a member of Dele Sosimi’s Afrobeat Orchestra for nearly a decade and has performed on stage with the likes of Tony Allen, Seun Kuti, Ginger Baker & Laura Mvula. He is also bassist with UK jazz ensemble Collocutor and fusion project Cubafrobeat.  Featured vocalist on both tracks is the aforementioned Dele Sosimi - keyboard player and musical director for Fela’s Egypt 80 as well as Wah Wah 45s recording artist on both his solo material and the recent collaboration with house music producer, Medlar. 

The rest of the group comprises of Afrik Bawantu bandleader, Ibibio Sound Machine and Keleketla! percussionist, and Koichi Sakai collaborator, Afla Sackey; highly rated UK jazz vocalist Sahra Gure; saxophonist, composer, producer and bandleader of the renowned & forward thinking jazz outfit Collocutor, Tamar Osborn; keyboard player, producer and front man for Lokkhi Terra and Cubafrobeat, Kishon Khan; one of the UK’s finest and most in demand trumpeters, Graeme Flowers, who has played with Quincy Jones, Gregory Porter and many more; trombonist for Bellowhead and mainstay of Dele’s Afrobeat Orchestra, Justin Thurgur; and finally drummer for Steamdown and Sons of Kemet, as well as the man behind the Nache project, Eddie Wakili Hick. 

Half of  the artist's income for this release will be donated to the NAACP - a civil rights organization in the United States, created for the advancement of black people by means of following judicial policies.
