Vampire

Vampire murderer they have us under pressure
Nuff man lined up for the executions
The kill more man fi get promotion
On top of that nuff a de mina extortion 
Dem collect dem tax and oppress poor man

Dem tek from autos and street vendor
But to the upper class the have a sweet temper 
But to the lower class they have a hot temper 

In Kashmir man dead and nobody remember 
North East man dead and nobody remember 
Chhattisgarh man dead and nobody remember
They murder people and call it encounter

Vampire, murderer under pressure
See police hit the accelerator
They make nuff men go meet them maker 
Guns and lathis that a body breaker
When it come to murder dem a perpetrator 

How come dem never face no investigator
Di whola dem a follow government order 
Nuff man get line up just fi get slaughter 
They murder people and call it encounter
Vampire, murderer, dem have wi under pressure

Music & Lyrics: Lee Perry, Taru Dalmia 
Arr. The Ska Vengers

Vampire


Gyal , she dont want the bankerboy she want the criminal 
She don’t want no I.I.T professional
Want the rudeboy, gyal she want the animal, she want the animal

Nah follow dem deh fashion, dem fashion we nah follow 
Have me own image, dem deh image we nah borrow 
Babylon a try come mek we inside hollow
Dem try come mek we inside hollow
So me say gyal, she don’t want the bankerboy 
She want the criminal

So then I can love you
And all of me can attend each kiss 
No low fraction, of my common self 
Will be out shopping somewhere else

I love the type of girls who don’t get impressed by money spenders
Nuff men come pose and profile but dem a pretender 
Devastate dem just like September type passengers 
One thing rudeboy shoulda remember
Remember that gyal, she don’t want di bankerboy she want di criminal
She don’t want no IIT professional
Want the rudeboy gyal she want the animal

So then I can love you
And all of me can attend each kiss 
No low fraction of my commonly self
 Will be out shopping somewhere else

I didn’t mean to leave you, in front of the TV 
Kissing the noose in the side of an alley
Giving up the ghost to a hole in the wall 
Paying penance to the most golden of all 
Holding a tube of toothpaste, smiling in a field 
Gives credit to the way you hold me here 
Feeling all happy, all toothless and loose 
Bathing my hands and kissing the noose

Badda Raga

from a session recorded live at Radio One Delhi, August 2015

Woman of the Ghetto (Live Radio One Delhi)

Either as zzz or Three Oscillators or part of the collective Jwala, since Brij Dalvi popped up, he’s arrested our attention.

The Mumbai-based producer has been creating some of the most left-field electronica in this country. His idiosyncratic take on music, one that’s became very distinctive in a field flooded with unoriginality, has been refreshing to listen to.

Tracks like ‘Coca Cola’ have gained attention internationally, contributions to Jwala compilations and his collaborations with Multani and hollow have been nothing short of exciting.

His hour-long mix takes you through a journey of the Brij’s unconventional tastes. He tends to float through genres effortlessly going from glitch-hop and bringing in soul samples before diverting into Three Oscillators originals..
