ARTIST STATEMENT

Deaf Safari is an audio collage of subjects that interest me and speak of the world I live in.
It is an album composed of sampled recordings from the media landscape that has been the soundtrack to my life over the last ten years.

The most important development in my current music and as can be heard on Deaf Safari has been my understanding of the beauty and power of the spoken word. I have experienced severe indifference to contemporary pop and electronic music as a whole over the last many years, as I have felt that social comment of any relevance has been ignored by music in general.
Deaf Safari attempts to bring sociopolitical comment into my music without taking any specific stand.
Sampled outside of musical influence directly from the news; from preacher sermons or from contemporary African documentaries.
I have finally created a story with sound that I feel accurately conveys my personal experience with the African world I live in.

My musical influences on this album lie mostly with local Kwaito house. Deaf Safari is an experiment within certain boundaries of the 4/4 genre, to create my own South African "house" album.
I am proud and inspired about the South African Kwaito house scene.
However, as with my first three albums, "Thin Shoes In June“ (2001) - "4/4 Down The Stairs“ (2002) and "Dark Days Exit“ (2005), I am still interested in making strange and evocative music.

American Roots music from the earlier periods of the 20th century has deeply resonated with me during the making of this album.
The incredible field recordings by Alan Lomax of Negro prison and chain gang work songs, and the
beautiful early recordings of artists such as Leadbelly have had a major influence on Deaf Safari.

I am truly excited to release this album and to start performing in the music world again. It has been ten years since I released "Dark Days Exit , and although I have been purposefully absent from the music world, I have none the less never stopped making music.
I feel that I have finally arrived at a mature and challenging stage in my pursuit of making emotional music of relevance .

Ding Dong Thing

Felix Laband - Ding Dong Thing

[Verse 1]
The sun dips low, it winks and sighs,
Shadows stretch long as the city replies.
Two strangers meet where the echoes collide,
A secret shared, where mischief resides.

[Prechorus]
Their steps align, like keys in a chord,
The air hums thick, a silent accord.

[Chorus]
Light bends 'round their bodies, like it's been here before,
Recognition glows, an open door.
They move through the rhythm, playful, divine,
A golden hour glow, on borrowed time.

[Verse 2]
Laughter ripples like a glitch in the sound,
Every turn, a hieroglyph unwound.
The streets hold their breath, a moment unbound,
Each motion electric, each heartbeat profound.

[Bridge]
They paint the sky with the sweep of a hand,
Secrets whispered in a language unplanned.
The future leans in, its pulse in their stride,
Two stars colliding, no need to hide.

[Chorus]
Light bends 'round their bodies, like it's been here before,
Recognition glows, an open door.
They move through the rhythm, playful, divine,
A golden hour glow, on borrowed time.

Title: Bag Of Bones EP
Cat No: CPT 472-1
Format: 12" / digital
Release: 30th Sept. 2016

Tracklisting:
A1.  „Righteous Red Berets“ (Original) (9:12)
A2.  „Bag Of Bones“ (6:03)

B1.  „Righteous Red Berets“ (Luke Vibert Remix) (6:04)
B2.  „Donkey Rattle – Kill The Boer“ (7:37)

"The Bag of Bones EP is an unsettling yet beautiful record. Coming from a time when South Africa is undergoing an unnerving state of change with revolution bubbling just under the skin. The record speaks of hope, anger, love and dreams.
Righteous Red Berets is an ode to Stakerlee who kills another man cause he cheated his cards and we also hear from Reverend Jim Jones as he preaches hope from his mass graves.
Luke Vibert (a hero of mine since the late 90s), reinterprets the track with his unique brand of Funk and Soul that adds some love to a desperate song. 

Bag of Bones is my personal balad to a life with the lights turned off. Just me and my guitar. Shane Cooper (AKA Card on Spokes) adds his beautiful double bass to this track and helps it breath life.
Kill the Boer is a Remix of my 2002 Kwaito Bass classic "Donkey Rattle". I base the remix around a sample of a Toy Toy from Soweto 1960 to speak about the current "revolution" with a different government but with the same despair

Hope you enjoy this record?“
