‘’Life is a journey filled with endless opportunities for exploration, observation, adventure, and appreciation of the world around us. It is about facing challenges head-on and finding solutions to these difficulties. This existential path of taking risks and embracing new experiences has shaped my journey, leading me from Freetown to Barcelona, through London and beyond.
  From my personal few shows, and by occasionally featuring at NTS, I have realized that there used to be a calming aura fueled by whatever my purpose or intention was to select different musical textures. To a certain extent, I would like to reach the audience's soulful core, metaphorically speaking, to encourage them to be curious and explore different ways of understanding music and cultures. After all, ''the flower of life has to blossom in diversity, with oneness coming back alive in the dancing, interdependent many''.
 Let's toast with the highest of best intentions and move forward with the community of DUBLAB.ES radio in Barcelona’’

THE JOURNENY 01 - 02 - 24 @DUBLAB.ES

The last show of the season will be nothing short but the highest of appreciation for the painstaking art of chopping beats, samples marinated and cooked in a hi&lo tempo until being smoked, almost like savoring a good joint, and getting loose until reaching the stage of hypnosis. A good ride surrounded by a staggeringly vast landscape is recommended likewise.

Most of the samples, fundamentally speaking, will be strictly familiar soulful tunes, such as Sydney Joe Qualls ‘How Can You Say Goodbye’, Toy Factory’s ‘Dear Girl’, Al Johnson’s ‘’Peaceful’, to name a few. ‘The Journey’ will be navigating into ‘The Hi & Low Of Smoky Hip-Hop Soulful Jointz’, from 19 till 20:00, through @dublab.es on @hangar_org, tomorrow. The show will be, at the same time, my personal post-tribute to the ‘hip-hop 50’s anniversary: 50 rappers share their stories’ article on The New York Times, which I enjoyed, most importantly, the Trevor Jones Smith Jr. aka Busta Rhymes storytelling:

“In Brooklyn there was this melting pot of every Caribbean community in existence. It wasn’t just about hip-hop. You had Haitians, Trinidadians, Guyanese, Jamaicans, Bajans, Panamanians. This was a significant influence on my showmanship, everything I was doing from the way I dressed to the energy that was in my show, their flow patterns and the way they spit on dancehall records, the heavy bass line beats.”

Last but not the least, muchas gracias a @naraisneus y paca ribalta por llevar cabo enteramente solas el arduo trabajo de la programación radiofónica, y a emiii (btw a keeper as a friend) @k_i_n_e_t_i_c_a por su inmensa paciencia controlando la parte técnica. It’s been a ride of ups-and-downs, mistakes, mas es necesario partir de una base, cometiendo errores, probando, reinventándose, hasta encontrase a uno mismo, but I never doubted myself because I’ve got a substantial content for years, believe it or not
