The streets were alive and well with strife and trouble. The tribes ran riot into the midnight hour and caused chaos upon the boulevards. The empty alleyways became hotbeds of violence and hatred based upon territory and towerblocks. There was no rallying cry or roar of the siren as the police had long since left this town, now it was simply vagabonds and rogues who cast a spell of bitter rebellion upon young, impressionable sorts and innocent men caught in between the cracks. 

JAKAM appears on a new split EP for Lyon based record label and friends of Ransom Note, Hard Fist. He features alongside the likes of our own Timothy Clerkin, Shadi Khries and more.

PREMIERE: J.A.K.A.M. - Tribes [Hard Fist Records]

Ms DaDa & The Hapalou come from a land of messy hair, dirty beats, and cheeky smiles. Their musical connection began on a river and has flowed together ever since. Delving into a myriad of genres and countless bottles of red wine the two combine their roots and limbs with a collection of their favorite tracks: A voila Beat Buffet as collaboration platform and concept party was born. The Hapalou has a history as a collector of vintage folk, rock, and blues vinyl and is now a traveler into the depths of bass and rhythms. He draws from all that has come before to put forth familiar and futuristic vibrations. Ms DaDa hails from nomads who possess an insight into the soul. It is this realm she is able to permeate the surface and bring forth an understanding of music few can match. Whether she is playing gypsy, swing, world funk, or German Electro, Ms DaDa deconstructs and fuses together her wide musical background. Together they serve a beat buffet of all genres with the 4&4-floor spice in it.
