The Truth the Dead Know

In may 2014, I was asked to perform at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris for "La maison de la Syrie", a project aimed to raise awareness of the current war in Syria. It was an honor for me to be part of this project. I was also kindly asked to play some of the  arabic sounds I have in my library... This was the result.


Arab café. Maison de la Syrie.

Halation is the spreading of light beyond it’s boundaries. It is the soft glow. The warm blanket of light that surrounds. A halo.

Thor Rixon's Halation EP features lead single and collaboration between blaqkongo titled 'Walk With Me', followed by 'Minertia'- two house tracks that are ready and waiting for the dark rooms and open fields.


Walk With Me started off with the intention of being a thumping club burner but when we both felt it needed more soul, we made a change for the better, bridging the gap between the vocals and the music to create
something unique, wholesome & driving.
“The lyrics speak to the infinite possibilities we can create if we get over the limitations we set in our minds,
and allow ourselves to “grow wild” rather than “work hard”. In essence, allow yourself to be free and move away from packaging yourself.” - blaqkongo

Minertia is the focus and obsession with small, and in some cases insignificant, details that prevent or slow down the process of finishing a project or task. This track has taken me almost 4 years to complete, with
countless revisions- adding, subtracting and refining the small details until it felt complete. But does a creation ever feel complete? Art is never finished, only abandoned.
I wanted to create a very rich and dense sound scape with this house track by imbuing it with emotive pad work and intricate rhythms that interplay and dance with each other.
I always try to walk the line between home and club, which was a big focus for this track.

Lyrics:
Once in a while I feel I'll krack
Once in awhile I feel I can
Once in awhile I feel I can't
Ill krack
I'll krack
I can't

Krack
I'll krack
I can't
I'll krack
I'll krack
I'll krack
I'll

Once in awhile I feel I can
Once in awhile I I feel I'm trapped
Feel I'm trapped
Once in a while I feel I can't
I panic
I panic
Abandoned
I'm a manic depressant

Istanbul is Sleepy (feat. Anton Newcombe) [Arnaud Rebotini Remix]

Flute, congas, bass, drums, guitar and clavinet; this unconventional arrangement of instruments intertwine to form the debut album by Badge Époque Ensemble - a group of creative improvisers assembled to perform new, largely instrumental compositions by Maximilian ‘Twig’ Turnbull (formerly Slim Twig).

Badge employs an eclectic cast of characters from the Toronto underground music scene, whose combined experience would take pages to spell out. It includes stints accompanying songwriters Andy Shauf and Marker Starling, outfitting heavies Blood Ceremony and Biblical, and respective careers spent gigging Django-jazz and the classical cannon. Badge’s distinctive sound arises from the diversity of these musical exploits, creating a palpable chemistry well captured on the live-tracked songs that form the group’s self-titled debut.

Part of this crucial chemistry can be attributed to the fact that four of the six players in the Ensemble have been at the core of the live, U.S. Girls band, a group that has scorched stages internationally over the past year and was hailed by Paste magazine as the best live band of 2018. Since 2015, when Turnbull released his final record as Slim Twig for DFA, he has largely concentrated his efforts as a producer and writer on the U.S. Girls project, together with making contributions to the theatrical rock outfit, Darlene Shrugg and the psychedelic jazz-funk collective, The Cosmic Range. Badge’s set of songs is yet another 180-degree turn for an increasingly collective-minded bandleader, who is singularly disdainful of any genre orthodoxy.

The record is a collection of densely packed grooves, arranged by committee. Dank set pieces culminate in album standout, ‘Undressed In Solitude’, which features the otherworldly r ’n b of guest vocalist, James Baley. Over 11 simmering minutes, the track defies the contemporary fixations of automated music to convincingly combine sensual and cerebral textures. While it may call to mind an improbable collision.

These tracks have been written across the globe and feature dear friends and family. I like experimenting with a broad range of musical ideas, so this mixtape felt like the perfect opportunity to freely combine different and current sonic interests without limiting myself to a more cohesive album format. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has been listening to my music over the years. While uncertain times aren’t over, your support means everything to me. I have therefor decided to make the mixtape available to download for free on Bandcamp - but any donations will be greatly appreciated. 

Proceeds will be given to the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, a UK based charity working with communities and young people from disadvantaged and under-represented backgrounds, helping to transform lives and create a society in which everyone, regardless of their background, can flourish. 

Let’s keep pushing for positive change together! ✨ 

Much love, 
Paul White x
