Soundtracks of Our Lives Michael Kiwanuka on the bus Back to Peebles “Home Again” The world passes by and The scenes shift. I, the central character One among many Starring in our own biopics. Are they comedies, tragedies Or quirky art-house flicks, Action packed or Taking forever to get anywhere? Audiences of one, Isolated in a bubble of Stereophonic sound. Was this the intention Of those whose invention Led to this proliferation And dissemination of Sonic diversification? These sound waves Entering straight into your head Can colour every sight and feeling, Emotional responses enhanced, The observer entranced, But does it lead to anything Apart from mental obfuscation? Music lovers beware: It is possible to have Too much of a good thing. Why not burst that bubble, Get out there and listen To the real sounds of life: The voices of your fellow humans; A beggar pleading for alms; Migrating geese passing over Ahead of colder weather, Telling you to take cover, Find shelter and cosy up To a crackling fire. Unplug those wires Which although they can inspire Can also lead to auditory loss Of the subtle connections to The world around us: An equal source of inspiration profound Through the elastic, airy medium of Natural sound.

about

This release is a foray back into the Drum & Bass style inspired by the two unsung women heroes of the scene, the DJ's Kemistry and Storm. I used to go with my mates to listen to them at the legendary Blue Note and they were also playing the same night I DJ'ed for the first time in a club, which was at the D.O.P.E. night in the Mexx Club in Leeds. My sister also came along that night and I really appreciated her support. There are further notes on the individual tracks. I hope you enjoy them!
