Arr Joon SWITON

Si yo vinn palé' w dè mwen 
Di yo ou pa vlé tann ayen 
Vou é mwen té enmé lontan
Dépi péyi Dogon la
Vinn expérimenté  
An ki jan lavi yé, ki jan la lanmou yé, sav ki moun nou yé

Car j'ai tout pardonné 
Pour pouvoir me libérer
J'me sens plus forte
gardienne plus que zélée de ce trésor qu'est mon coeur
J'me sens plus forte
Plus qu'hier, plus que la minute d'avant
J'me sens plus forte
Pour pouvoir t'épauler
Pour pouvoir mieux espérer


Si yo vinn palé'w dè mwen
Di yo ou pa pè ayen
A pa yè ou vinn konnèt mwen
Nou jwenn an dot chimin
Ou vwè men tombé
Ou vwè men lévé
Ou vwè mwen maché
Vwè mwen libéré

Dub/Reggae influenced Post-Punk, Industrial, Experimental, etc. from the late 70s and early/mid 80s. A huge influence of the era, especially in England (see Public Image Ltd., The Slits, The Pop Group etc.). There's also some representation here from Japan, Germany, Belgium, and Australia. Some of my all-time favorite tracks bear this influence, from Cabaret Voltaire's "Seconds Too Late" to Holger Czukay, Jah Wobble, Jaki Liebezeit's "How Much Are They?", amongst a handful of others here. 

I tried to maintain a nice upwards arc in the tempo/funkiness, but also made sure to have some interesting ups and downs, with an ear to similarities in sounds, for segues and sound compatibility. The beginning of the mix just happens to feature some of the earliest dated tracks I chose. The On-U Sound suite here wasn't intentional actually, but just happened to work out that way when sequencing the tracks. Funny how that happened, but makes complete sense. There are also some songs towards the end with only a vague dub influence (see Fad Gadget, TG), but are some of my favorites and worked nicely. The Upsetters track is more funk than dub so… That takes us to the end, with a suite of particularly unique, authentic dub/reggae/dancehall(!) tracks that showcase a nice range of styles.

Noteworthy… I finalized the track selection for the mix just a couple days before the death of Holger Czukay. The legend himself appears on a whopping four tracks here; the three bearing his name, and Moebius & Plank's "Missi Cacadou". So, in a way, this is also a farewell ode to the immensely inspiring Mr. Czukay. Surely his deeply psychedelic interpretation of the dub sound was influential in itself. Rest in peace.

Enjoy!

Pre-order

Sherwood & Pinch (ft. Daddy Freddy & Dubiterian) - One Law For The Rich [Pay It All Back Vol.7]

Avec ces rythmes mêlés, ce mix est une anthologie de musiques racontant une parcelle de l’histoire créole dans toute sa complexité.
Autour de ses chansons seront tissée des moments tantôt tragiques autour de paroles mélancoliques et textes forts et d'autres plus légers avec des identités multiples tel que Calypso, Biguine, Gwoka ou Jazz.
Sur ces mélodies venant de paysages insulaires on se surprends à rêver d’une Afrique lointaine, un monde où l’on y vit enfin heureux.
Les morceaux qui se succèdent décrivent une capacité à créer, surmonter et endurer qui est propre à la culture noire. 
La musique est un art grâce auquel nous pouvons penser "Mondialité" plutôt que mondialisation et embrasser les différences plutôt que de vouloir les faire fondre. Aujourd’hui, noirs, blancs, commune est l’histoire que nous ne pourrions changer, brûler ce livre maudit ne pourrais rien effacer.
Il appartient à tous de créer ce monde nouveau qui faisait fantasmer Colomb non pas comme un conquérant mais en y déposant chacun sa propre pierre.

«Je peux changer en échangeant avec l’autre sans me perdre ni me dénaturer.» Edouard Glissant.
