WE ARE UNDERDOG RECORDS

The rewind button brings the tape back several times and, with it, The Buttshakers. From the tape to the studio, the décor changes to an America lost in its own reverie, the America that Ciara Thompson left in 2008 to settle in Lyon, France. Untethered from the idealistic veil of her childhood, this America, her America, now appears in its crudest reality: disfigured by violence and racism, the streets transformed into a make-shift shelter for those without a home.
Black Lives Matter, Not In My Name, #metoo and other red flags light up the soundboard without stopping this desperate and breakneck race to darkness.
Yet, when everything darkens, there is always an afterglow that cannot be extinguished, that final ember capable of rekindling on its own a brazier of hope. This is soul music.
Arcadia, “the land of delights,” a perfect world as described by the poet Virgil. This land where all is beauty and perfection becomes, for The Buttshakers, the place to rally, to unite, a moment of resilience. Not a place of retreat, an escape from reality, but a goal towards which to reach.
On their previous album, Sweet Rewards, The Buttshakers offered a soft light on the romantic side of soul. With Arcadia, they explore its conscious face. The one which, in the heyday of the 70's, shone thanks to the albums of Gil Scott-Heron, Marvin Gaye or Curtis Mayfield.
Creation influenced by the political and social events of our times. The form that meets the content in a music that is visceral and raw yet full of finesse and delicacy.
If over-worked productions tend to kill first intentions, The Buttshakers knew, with a skillful movement of the hips, to avoid diluting their intentions in layers of production, always preferring to be as close as possible to the natural source of their music to keep the fire burning. Here we find the sound of a group who has found a solid balance between soul music, its roots and its offspring : blues, rhythm and blues, funk.
A group led by the rugged feline presence of Ciara Thompson who’s vocal prowess, here put on perfect display, finds itself flawlessly balanced between a generous horn section and a devilish groove. A feat, yet once Ms. Thompson takes a step back, the void is quickly picked up, leaving room for the guitar and organ to reverberate, the trombone appropriating the last bars for a funk to the bone solo. With Arcadia, the listener is ushered through the kalediscope, letting the groove drift into an instrumental trans where the robotic beat takes control and sinks into a voudou-psychedelic mystique from which we can only be drawn out by the intervention of the brass section. The dust of a six-string western incantation embedded in the groove like a muffled groan, an explosion that is always on the edge, and which the vocals masterfully contain and amplify. 
Leaving behind the compositional automatisms that could have hampered a band that has been playing together for over a decade, Arcadia is their most successful album so far by the sheer audacity of their compositions. With each member of the group participating in the writing process, the richness of each idea put forward illuminates and guides the listener.
Dark and yet still luminous, Arcadia remains true to the spirit of soul : hope out of struggle, light out of fear; even when the cracks expose the darkest side of humanity, soul music has always given us the assurance that out of this chaos, a better day will come. A philosophy on which they built their discography and their stage presence; founding principles that the group has always been faithful to: to awaken the listener, to ignite the fire, to bring the dance.

Arcadia

Hear Me

THE BUTTSHAKERS Hear Me

Kolinga's latest single illustrates a song that Rébecca M'Boungou composed for her mother. A title that is both solar and deep, naive like a child's gaze but as contrasting as the different stages of a life. The warm arms of "Mama" envelop us in softness, lighten our hearts, and restore our fervor, promising us that we will never be alone.

KOLINGA - (Mama don't let me)

Simé Love !

Such a weird & challenging time we're living in.
When we get lost among all the voices & media we receive, let's just spread love ! 
You can't go wrong !

LYRICS :

Sa ou fè moun-a
Nou ka kriyé mè nou pa konnèt ayen.
Limyè-la nou pé ba-y, fò nou goumen
Pas nou pa konnèt ayen.

Refrain 1
Simé  love !  3x
Simé love ! Simé-y pou pé pa pè.

Couplet 2
Paré pwan douvan,
I lè nou alé san nou fann. 
Simé pou la pé.

Couplet 3
Limyè pou nou rivé alé wo.
Limyè pou nou rivé ay lwen.
Simé pou nou rivé kontré, woy.
Simé pou nou chanjé chimen.

Simé Love

Couplet 4
Simé love ! Pou yo monté.
Pawòl  mennen solèy dòt koté.
Limyè-la nou pé ba-y, fò nou goumen
Pas nou pa konnèt ayen.

Refrain
Simé Love, eh !
 
Couplet 5
Simé love sé moun-a nou pa bizwen pè. Sonjé
Ni fòs ka mandé-w plonjé.
Yo la chak monté, ou lé vansé.
La penn pa vo.
Di mwen sa ou fè moun-a
Nou ka kriyé mè nou pa konnèt ayen.
Limyè-la nou pé ba-y, fò nou goumen
Pas nou pa konnèt ayen.

Refrain 1

Couplet 2

EN
LA ÑAPA is an introduction to the world of Colombian slang and daily life. La ñapa is the little extra you get from the street vendor when buying juice. It’s also the little extra rice or sugar people get when, short of money, they want the tendero (grocer) to give them a little more than what they can pay for, or a good on credit. It’s a reference to the recent events in Colombian and particularly Cali when the post covid crisis and subsequent uprising had the city plunge into poverty and hustle. Nidia is the narrator who observes how the tendero is going crazy over people asking him for La ñapa, with humor and derision. 

FR
LA ÑAPA est une introduction à l’argot colombien. C’est le petit extra que l’on peut obtenir lorsqu’on achète un jus de fruit dans la rue. C’est aussi le petit supplement de riz ou de sucre que les gens demandent à leur tendero (épicier) lorsqu’ils n’ont pas assez pour payer, quand la ñapa n’est pas un credit qu’on sollicite. On pense aux événements que la Colombie, et Cali en particulier, ont connu en 2021, lorsque le covid et les emeutes ont fait replonger la ville dans la précarité et la débrouille. Nidia est la narratrice qui observe, avec une pointe d’humour, le tendero assailli par ces solicitations

SMOKE GRASS


What is the point of even writing down a verse ?
If you have something to say whatever can be worst (than),
Stamping a song « smoke grass » with a thud.
And if there is message you just nipped it in the bud (so).

For those who take the time to not judge by the cover,
For those who judge themself before they judge another.
For those who think that this is not a quick fix,
Legalize or not, that’s just for politics.

Don’t see anything bigger than something that I dig…

I must admit that it would lighten up the sky,
Pull in a shop say « hello I want to get high ».
But I would spend my time more on the fact;
« More important issues need to be unpacked » oui !
Our education’s something I can fight for.
Ending racism is something I could die for.
Freedom of thought is something I’d fall from the sky for.
But weed is just, something I get high for.

High five to all the people high in the house !
High ten to all the people growing in their house !
A warm welcome, to CBD producers.
Getting there slowly I have faith in our futures.

Who am I to boast than it’s good to smoke weed ?
It’s just a poison made to protect the plant seed.
For man has virtues but this is not the topic,
Hypocrites use that to justify their trip to the tropic !

Don’t see anything above, it’s just something that I love !

When I smoke grass, everything seems better.
Love to smoke grass, it multiplies the pleasure.
If you smoke grass, split in two the pressure.
Won’t dig it if you smoke grass, fuck up the measure.
Gotta smoke grass, get out of our ego.
Together smoke grass, every time off we glow.
Wanna smoke grass ? gotta take it slow.
Under eighteen shouldn’t smoke grass, your lungs aren’t good to go.

SUM'ONE
Animated video music : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tets5MaG1AY
After more than twenty years in various projects, the Danish producer JUSTMIKE of DAFUNIKS and OTIS STACKS has decided to release his first solo project under the alias “SUM´ONE”. This release marks the beginning of a new musical adventure and from his home in a small village by the ocean in northern Denmark, he produces a unique sound universe that combines all the best from his favorite genres. Two years ago, SUM´ONE moved from a busy life in Copenhagen to a small community where the noise from a pulsating city life has been replaced with the sounds of nature. This change was the starting point of this new chapter.

Crazy

SUMONE - Crazy

5 years after their last release “Past, Present & Future”, the boys are back and ready to serve you a brand new funky single featuring Particle Man.The track “Brakes On” marks the beginning of a new chapter in the world of Dafuniks.After the release of “Past, Present and Future” the band decided to have a pause to be more at home with their family and loved ones. Now 5 years later JustMike and Dj Nyber decided to bring back the old turntable and sampler – Dust it off and begin the process of chapter 2. The sounds and vibes are the same, but the constellation has changed back to it’s original form: One producer, one DJ, a stack of vinyl and a lot of sample-chopping, that will have your ears entertained on loop.

FLOX - The Words

OTIS STACKS first EP 
sortie 31 oct 2016 (Underdog Records / Differ-ant / Believe)

Otis Stacks est né d’une collaboration entre le producteur Danois Michael Munch aka Just Mike, et Elias Wallace, auteur compositeur chanteur de Pasadena, en Californie.
C’est lors d’une tournée dans les Alpes françaises avec leur autre projet commun : Dafuniks, que les deux compères écrivent leur première chanson, «Fashion Drunk» premier extrait et single de cet EP à paraître. Ce premier essai, les conforte dans leur aventure commune et leur collaboration unique prend forme. Le projet OTIS STACKS a désormais pris vie et les amène à écrire et composer lorsqu’ils se retrouvent en France pour la tournée des Dafuniks. Entre Nice, Montpellier, et Paris l’Ep se construit et se peaufine à distance entre les Etats Unis et le Danemark.
Leur musique analogique se nourrit d’une base synthétique avec de larges nuances empruntées à la culture hip-hop dans laquelle tous deux ont grandi. Le tissu musical construit par Just Mike est brodé d’une collection de sons de synthétiseurs analo- giques vintage qu’il collectionne depuis plus d’une décennie.
Avec eux il expérimente de nouveaux sons, construit, déconstruit, jusqu’à produire un son soul clairsemé, épuré, et novateur. Une dentelle musicale qui permet ensuite à la voix puissante et sensuelle d’Elias de se poser au fil de mélodies accrocheuses et aux textes profonds abordant les notions de perte, de douleur, de nostalgie, mais aussi un regard abrupt sur la nature humaine parfois vide de sens.
C’est en 2016 qu’ils rejoignent le label hexagonal Underdog Records (Dafuniks, Flox, Fanga, Tribeqa, John Milk, D-Bangerz, Sweatshop...) ainsi que le producteur de spectacles CARTEL ( Chinese Man, Deluxe) séduit par la qualité de leur live session enregistrée chez Findspire.
Otis Stacks un projet soul, aux sonorités vintage, et aux arrangements contemporains, porté par une écriture émotionnelle et réfléchie qui ne vous laissera pas indifférent.

Lyrics

Vou me benzer lá na Bahia
Com pimenta e vatapá
Por fantasia no Recife
E ficar pro carnaval
Brincar de roda em Fortaleza (vou navegar!)
Periga me apaixonar (vou navegar!)
Bumbar o boi lá do Pará (vou navegar!)  
Com tucupi e tacacá

Na Bahia (vou navegar!) Quero samba (vou navegar!)
Em Olinda (vou navegar!), Vou xamegar (vou navegar!)
Lá No Pará (vou navegar!), Guitarrada (vou navegar!)
Parnaíba (vou navegar!),  Cacuriá (vou navegar!)

O mundo de Deus é grande
Cabe numa mão fechada
O pouco com Deus é muito 
O muito sem Deus é nada
Quero conhecer o mundo
Qualquer dia eu chego lá
Vou levando o meu barquinho
Que a maré vai carregar

Vou navegar x4

Vou me perder lá no Caribe
E não sei se vou voltar
Beijo na boca de Lisboa
Tem poesia em Portugal
Comer cachupa em Cabo Verde (vou navegar!)
Verde mar vou abraçar (vou navegar!)
Vou ver a lua de Luanda (vou navegar!)
Bote seu barco mar (vou navegar!)

No Caribe (vou navegar!), Tem o Kompa (vou navegar!)
Em Angola (vou navegar!), Quero Semba (vou navegar!)
Cabo verde (vou navegar!), No Funaná (vou navegar!)
Até Goa (vou navegar!), Não vou parar (vou navegar!)

O mundo de Deus é grande
Cabe numa mão fechada
O pouco com Deus é muito 
O muito sem Deus é nada
Quero conhecer o mundo
Qualquer dia eu chego lá
Vou levando o meu barquinho
Que a maré vai carregar
 
Vou navegar x4

Navegar

Lyrics 
I met a girl named Bertha
She said she was a flat earther
On her way to the conference
I said you know that that’s nonsense
She said this shit’s not nonsense
You don’t even know
Have you heard my silence?
I said what about science?
And she said science don’t give me no love
I got talking to Linda
She was out on a bender
Swiping through Tinder
i said how’s that working for you?
She said it’s not working
It’s just regret and embarrassment lurking
But it’s late and I'm lonely and hurting
And where else can i get me some love?
[CHORUS]
Holding on for dear life
Always the bridesmaid but never the bride
A billion tiny islands in the ocean
All these characters I dream
Variations on a theme
I met a boy called Casper
He’s a worldwide traveller
Talking about ayahuasca
As he stares into his pasta
He said I probably shouldn’t fly so much
Probably shouldn’t get high so much
But I’m a lonely hedonist and my therapist says
I need to find ways to love myself
How could I forget Brian
Opened the floodgates without even trying
I missed my stop on that train
Cos I got a lot of time for a grown man crying
He said she loves me and I love him and he loves she
Still spinning a bottle on the topmost shelf
And looking for love like everyone else
[CHORUS]
Holding on for dear life

Always the bridesmaid but never the bride
A billion tiny islands in the ocean
All these characters I dream
Variations on a theme
