LunchBox Mixtapes: The Gooch Palms

Release date 02.12.2014

"On his visit to Kinshasa James Brown dubbed him *Mister Dynamite*"  

It has been a struggle to lay hands on Verckys, although the man doesn´t go unnoticed. Notorious for being one of Congo´s most ruthless business men, the legendary musician had build a whole imperium in Kinshasa, the capital city of the central african power house (arguably one of the toughest places in the world) and has a whole building with his name, in the very heart of the city.

So I travelled to the Congo in June of 2013 to find Verckys only to find out that he headed in opposite direction to sort out his health issues. But I did meet his manager who gave me his phone number, so I called:  "Oh Monsieur Samy, we need to met, lets talk business", he said, probably not knowing that I was an independent record label, with all it represents.  But the more I spoke to the men the more I realised that he was genuinely interested in music more then anything else. The following message I received few weeks ago, confirmed my feeling:

"Samy, I am writing to you because I´m a little worried. I´ve been thinking about your selection and I now wonder if your compilation will do well due to the fact that the chosen songs had little impact in Kinshasa. Others had much more success"

I was surprised but pleased to see that he cared about the project although I had already paid him in full. But why wouldn't he? Its his music after all.

"Most of the songs you´ve selected were recorded in Nairobi, for the Kenyan market. These songs did very well there, also in Zambia, but here in the Congo they flopped...except for "Ya Nini", that was a monster hit. Still, I am very surprised you´ve mentioned it has become a legendary track in Colombia, positively surprised"

This compilation was supposed to be released in October as a limited edition of 2000 copies, but after a few Skype chats with Verckys, seeing that he has come to terms with his health issues, and pushing for a European tour come next summer, we´ve decided to release this as Analog Africa No.17 which is now going to see light of day first week of December. 

In the mean time enjoy this incredible slice of "Congolese AfroFunk", probably one of the best coming out of the continent. "Cheka Sana" has become one of the most sought after 7inch singles around (the B side is killer as well). Collectors and diggers offering crazy sums for it (I don't even dare to mention the sum here). It deserves to be heard by more then just a handful....and it should set fire to many dancefloors around the globe.

Be so kind and leave a comment in the soundcloud. I will forward all of them to Verckys himself as an encouragements to come back stronger !!! 
Thank you for reading.

Cappuccino

Sun, surf, sand and cruising in a kombi down the coast with a bunch of your best mates sums up an Australian Summer. Add the guitar and beats in to this story and this sums up VanderAa’s hot new anthem just in time for 2014’s Summer.

"Sea Spells" is taken from the upcoming Halogen Days EP on Post-Fun Records. Out April 7th. Pre-Order: https://vassals.bandcamp.com/album/soho

Launch Show: April 7 - The Studio, Webster Hall, Manhattan, NYC

Previous Press for Vassals:
“Belt-it-out, big guitar pop.” —Brooklyn Vegan

"Drawing their mood from alt. rock masters like Weezer or The Pixies, Spence sings the bittersweet feeling of a soul looking for true emotions and belonging in a bogus existence" - Gold Flake Paint

“A band that has studied at the altar of classic pop songwriting.” —The Deli NYC

“Its perfect balance of cheer and chide, may just be the perfect antidote for your weary, chipper-saturated soul.” —Bedford & Bowery

“Brings to mind throwback 90s outfits along the lines of Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement, and (most importantly) is utterly infectious.” —All Things Go

"Both a departure from the lighter sound of their debut album, and an affirmation of the inherent promise that record showed, Soho is the sound of a band truly coming into their own." - Louder Than War

It’s like I tried everything
Except for crazy glue to keep you here 
If you’re stuck I bet you shed your skin
So why you bother coming back, coming back?

Just to go around again
You’re playing like it’s just a game 
You know it always ends the same 
So why you bother comin’ back, comin’ back?

If it ain’t here- just go find it 
Won’t be around to remind you 
My conscience clear- I’m done trying
I’m done trying 
I’m done trying

Boy, I took my best shot
Wasn’t a fighter
Sooner or later, arms get tired
My heart’s black and blue
Time to retire
I’m gonna stay down, gonna stay down
Count me, count me out
Count me, count me out 
Count me, count me out 
I’m gonna stay down, gonna stay down

Wake up boy, I’m over it 
You’re gonna need a four-leaf-clover wish 
To find another one like this 
No, don’t bother coming back, coming back 


If it ain’t here- just go find it 
Won’t be around to remind you 
My conscience clear- I’m done trying
I’m done trying 
I’m done trying

Boy, I took my best shot
Wasn’t a fighter
Sooner or later, arms get tired
My heart’s black and blue
Time to retire
I’m gonna stay down, gonna stay down
Count me, count me out
Count me, count me out 
Count me, count me out 
I’m gonna stay down, gonna stay down

Count Me Out

SAM (2017 Single)

Stardust

one day we, in ceremony,
will throw away the ashes to the sea
for now breathe - patiently,
the glow of something magic in your reach.

what have we built here?
we, the troubled architects of this 

you loved it broken -
who are you to mourn?
you spoke of roses
all i feel are thorns
all i feel, all i feel are thorns

(in my sweet side, in my sweet side)

dried out leaves
anemones (and enemies*)
pressed between the pages left to read 
thick as thieves, carefully
stepping without breaking underneath 

what have we built here?
we, the troubled architects of this

you loved it broken -
who are you to mourn?
you spoke of roses
all i feel are thorns
all i feel, all i feel are thorns

in my sweet side, in my sweet side
in my sweet side, in my sweet side

you loved it broken -
who are you to mourn?
you spoke of roses
all i feel are thorns
all i feel, all i feel are thorns

in my sweet side, in my sweet side
in my sweet side, in my sweet side
