Brooklyn Bounce (Riddim Fruit EP)

A song I made inspired in part by the Littlest Hobo series I watched as a kid and my series of short term jobs which became long term, also inspired by "Voyage au bout de la nuit"

Lyrics
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil hobo

Arrived on the scene with his eyes looking keen
Ordered to pick up the mop and go clean
Pecking the order at the pit of the team
Little by little they ripped up his dream
Bag on his back, not keen to go back
Walked through the city, the night that was black
Look for the train, go follow the track
Be a lone wolf don't go with the pack

A chercher des mille et les cents
Ou que garder ses dents on devient indécent
La vérité blesse, il vaut mieux que je mente
Du boulot au boulot ma chance que je tente
Bouger sans cesse juste pour changer d'air
Des vieux chagrins, des nouvelles misères
Pourchassé, poursuivi, un bouc émissaire
Un toit et à manger, le stricte nécessaire

On se donne du mal à pas être soit même, quand même
Tentative d'être heureux en vain, villain
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Gradually becoming older and wary
Not knowing tomorrow, the unknown is scary
The life of the Hobo is unordinary
Most of these tasks do seem unnecessary

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
On se donne du mal à pas être soit même, quand même
Tentative d'être heureux en vain, villain

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Told them I'd only be there for a second
Passing my time 'till the next session beckons
Most of them don't really care what I reckon
My eyes supervise and they're constantly checking
Told them I'd only be there for a minute
Packed up the box where they told me to bring it
Can't understand it, I must be a cynic
Hand me a contract, I told them to bin it

On me l'a dit que les rêves s'oublient
De fil en aiguille tel les défunts parties
Changer d'air sans cesse, à se retourner sa veste
Délaissé, on te laisse, on se presse vers les pompes funestes
Fonce tout droit avec la tête à l'ouest
Grotesque, déteste comme la vie te teste
Creuses promesse aux enfants qui naissent sans richesse

Se dépêcher de pêcher avant que cela soit trop tard, bobard
Prendre l'air occupé, pas se faire repérer, rigolard, tocard
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Vagabonder avec un sac bondé
Pourchassé par chaque condé
Les semelles usées
Ras le sol les pieds
Les passants qui passent ne sont pas inquiets

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
Se dépêcher de pêcher avant que cela soit trop tard, bobard
Prendre l'air occupé, pas se faire repérer, rigolard, tocard
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Rise Up

"We fancied going somewhere different this time"

…And so they did. Previously no strangers to changing gears radically mid track when a groove screamed out for it, Skeewiff have certainly excelled themselves this time.

‘Skeewiff In Wonderland’ is a multi sectional, genre hopping, beat heavy remix of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ that leaves your ears and senses vibrating with the very essence of sonic invention.

An elegiac orchestra and soaring beats are interspersed with glitchy psychedelia and moody jazz on the introductory ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’.

The cut and paste cinerama that is twisted and transported via 5 dimensions throughout the album is perfectly encapsulated on this thrilling soundtrack to our departure.

An infectious leslie organ and gleeful acoustic guitar propel the infectious ode to the novel's haphazard Dodo race - ‘A Caucus. A victorian string melody and incongruous slide guitar swell to complete the joyously deranged atmosphere.

On ‘Pig And Pepper’, Skeewiff serve up a slice of the 60’s cool that infected their hit collaboration with Vanessa Contenay-Quinones ‘Made In France’ with the kind of retro verve we know and love. ‘Advice From A Caterpillar’ adds to the increasingly lysergic atmosphere - a sitar laden jazzy groove providing a scintillating backdrop for funk guitar and soulful saxophone before Bollywood beats and growly synths arrive to remind us that nothing here is as it seems.

The crunk groove of ‘Who Stole The Tarts’ mutates a 30’s inspired Flapper dance into something defying explanation - jazz trumpet and piercing synths recreate the bawdiness of the legal system mocking 11th chapter and ‘Skee’s Evidence’ draws proceedings to a close in typically ‘Wiffed’ out fashion. Intertwining wah wah guitar and baffled trumpet lead the charge before the coda of ‘Down The Rabbithole’ reappears, a door bangs shut and a disturbing muffled chuckle echoes into the silence...

Curiouser and curiouser…

‘Skeewiff In Wonderland is released on March 31st.

Skeewiff In Wonderland

Pig And Pepper

A mediados del 2009 el FRENTE CUMBIERO invitó a Bogotá al legendario productor de dub Mad Professor, como parte del proyecto Incubator del British Council, con el objetivo de realizar un encuentro sonoro entre la cumbia y el dub. Durante 3 días y bajo la orientación de Mad Professor y su hijo Joe Ariwa, se grabaron en los estudios de la Facultad de Artes de la Universidad Javeriana varios temas para ser tratados bajo la estética del dub. Además de grabar composiciones originales del FRENTE, parte importante del proyecto buscaba reunir a músicos claves de la escena bogotana a improvisar y crear juntos en estudio.

De esas improvisaciones salieron 3 composiciones colectivas, que se suman a 4 originales del FRENTE para un total de 7 temas que fueron remezclados con técnicas propias del dub por Mad Professor en su estudio ARIWA en Londres. El resultado de este disco, además de convertirse en uno de los primeros encuentros tangibles entre la cumbia y el dub, aporta un nuevo sonido colombiano al poderoso movimiento de cumbia continental.
