12 Soundsystems Vol. 01 Ep. 01 — GQOM (Live Mix)

Vol. 01 Ep. 02 of 12SS was all ab DUBSTEP. This is a recording of that show. Please guide me through your listening experience in the comments, and please listen on a big, bass-friendly soundsystem if you can :')

Dubstep, UKG and Jungle, as genres, are each directly-influenced by genres Reggae and Dub, and by Jamaican-made soundsystem culture. Notice the bassline as a common denominator! Unlike its most-direct predecessors UKG and Jungle, Dubstep inherits the spaced-out percussion of Dub. So, bass gets to headline with Dubstep. 

In this mix are some of my favorite Dubstep tunes along with a few genre outliers (the vocalists' songs are not among the outliers, fwiw. MCs are no stranger to Dubstep, nor UKG and Jungle and Reggae, for that matter!).

YouTube user @/willb1405 describes the genre so resonantly on @/PropaDubstep's YouTube upload of Mala's Blue Notez: "Dubstep was best when it was a reflection of post rave Britain. After the colourful optimism of the 90s we stagnated, and felt left in a murky, cold brick laden dystopia, like the future never happened. Dubstep was a way to find beauty in that darkness, in those streets, like the glowing warmth of a streetlight on a cold wet pavement."

Vol. 01 Ep. 03 of 12SS was all ab HOUSE. This is a recording of that show. Please guide me through your listening experience in the comments :')

As I say at the beginning of the mix, house music was created by Black Chicagoans in the aftermath of disco's destruction. When I think of house music, I think of spiritual elation. Without repeating too much of what I say at the mix's beginning, I'll repeat what I've been saying for the last month: house music is fast enough to get you moving, and soulful enough to move you. In this mix I'm playing some of my favorite house songs of all-time, including the first house song I ever heard. This mix is dedicated to all Black people in exile. Special blessings up to K-HAND, a beautiful producer and DJ who passed away in 2021. 

Mix post-production by Rose Cherami!

If you’re reading this, stop listening and go watch the Fannie Lou Hamer clip I sampled. Fannie Lou Hamer "had a blood clot behind her eye from being severely beaten by police in a Mississippi jail. She was the youngest of 20 children born to sharecroppers in Mississippi, where she had spent much of her life picking cotton until she was fired for trying to register to vote” (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/10/06/civil-rights-crusader-fannie-lou-hamer-defied-men-and-presidents-who-tried-to-silence-her/). She was forcibly-sterilized.  President Lyndon B. Johnson was terrified of her—a fear not misplaced. She was a leading voice in the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and was incredibly vocal about the epidemic of rape across the nation, specifically in the South and as regarded Black women. 

I don't agree with her use of gendered language. It's more than Black men, and it's not about being a man, but I know what she means. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhu_uxRR2og

> Lyrics: (Fannie Lou Hamer talking) Mississippi is still a very rough place, you know. People is not just walking up like they used to do in the past, walking out, you know. Shooting a man down or getting maybe, 2 or 300 people carrying out and lynching him but it's in a slow, settled way, you know. They'd let you starve to death and not give you jobs. These are some of things that's happening right now in Mississippi.... See, Mississippi is not actually Mississippi's problem. Mississippi is America's problem. Because if America wanted to do something about what has been going on in Mississippi, it would've stopped by now. It wouldn't have been in the past few years, 40, between 40 and 50 churches bombed and burned. See and this, this leads me to say, all of the burning and bombing that was done to us in the houses, nobody ever said too much about that, and nothing was done. But let something be burned, you know, by a Black man... And then 'My God!' you know? You see, the flag is, is drenched with our blood. Because you see, so many of our ancestors, was killed because, we have never accepted slavery. We had to live 'un it, but we never wanted it. So we know this flag is drenched with our blood. So what the young people are saying now, give us a chance to be young men, respected as a man, as we know this country was built on the Black backs, of Black people, across this country, and if we don't have it, you ain't gon have it either, cause we gon tear it up. That's what they saying! And people oughta understand that. I don't see why they don't understand that. They know what they've done to us. All across this country, they know what they've done to us. This country is desperately sick, and man is on the critical list. I really don't know where we go from here.

WITH OUR BLOOD

This song samples Euphraxia, a song by SZA, produced by The D.O.T. Source: https://genius.com/Sza-euphraxia-lyrics

DISTANT DOES NOT MEAN WEAK

The song samples Closer by Ne-Yo, who produced the track with StarGate, with lyrics written by Shaffer Smith, Magnus Beite, and Bernt Rune Stray. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closer_(Ne-Yo_song)

> Song description: Vocal chops with a back-theater-type echo, every element of the song hitting you, footwork-esque, big bass, and I let Kendrick rap the first verse through the middle of the track. Don’t know about y’all, but even the ‘lower’ parts hold me over.

repeated phrases at beginning of song:
> baby by me baby 
> baby baby ba-baby 
> have a baby by me baby, be a millionaire
> have a baby baby ba-baby, baby by me baby

sung lyrics at mid-end of song:
conversation like what?
big thighs got you stuck
feelings starting to show
should I stay, should I go?
I don't know
you're driving me crazy
I wanna be your lady
but I got a man at home

even though I wanna see
how you put that thang on me
I can't let you get the best of me
even though I wanna see
how you put that thang on me
I can't let you get the best of me
the best of me, the best of me
