An old, rare, forgotten about remix that I did some years ago, one of my personal favourites :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZxpQoc0HNQ

Je joue 6am demain matin Les Aubes, Baines des Paquis, lake Geneva :)

Summer sounds! Forget about our impending collective doom and the rise of global fascism with almost 2 hours of some of my favourite rocksteady tunes ;) :) https://we.tl/t-iisuLTUzKM 5 days or 99 downloads (mp3 sorry)

Back in one of my favourite places on Earth with one of my favourite people on Earth David Chalmin for the ‘final’ session for the next album!

'Semtex' was recorded on one of these :) https://enmoreaudio.com/analogue-on-a-budget-the-tascam-414-portastudio-and-the-dawn-of-the-bedroom-producer/

Greece! I’ll be leaving you soon, a final evening off in Athens but thanks so much for the love. Thanks to Kostas, all at Six Dogs, Ride and Hasomeri and thanks, wonderful people who came to the shows and were so warm and generous and all of those who shared their thoughts and appreciation with me. You couldn’t have known it but I needed it badly, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope to return before too long.

Tonight! Patras! Hasomeri :) Last date of this Greek microtour

Tonight! Crete! Chania, Ride

Athens, Six Dogs. Tonight! :)

Dear white supremacists, allow me to drop some truth bombs in your general direction. Let's start with your paranoid, adolescent fear of being replaced. Guess what? We will all be replaced. That is the nature of life and although that is one of the things that makes you terrified, hating and killing other people will not change that uncomfortable fact. Your notion of racial purity is a nonsense. No one on the face of this planet is 'racially pure white' and if you don't believe me go and get yourself a DNA test. Everyone has mixed genetic make up and that is a good thing. Ask a geneticist. Humans have been migrating, falling in love and mixing since the dawn of civilization and that will never stop or be undone. Love is more powerful than hate whether you like it or not. Your desperate need to define yourself in your most basic defining feature is, well, pretty fucking basic and shows that you have very little else of character with which to define yourself. The colour of your skin is pure blind chance. You achieved nothing to be born where you were. Perhaps you find it more palatable to define yourself as 'white' as opposed to 'shouty, whiny, insecure, terrified of your own irrelevence, paranoid, ignorant, scared of rejection, embittered, hateful.... ' but that is how many of us in the civilized world see you. Your extremism is certainly not morally superior to any other form of extremism or terrorism. If you feel isolated, afraid, disenfranchised, poor, put upon, lost, rejected that is not the fault of Muslims or POC, women, homosexuals, transgenders...... that is a failure of the system. That is what you should be rallying against, not other people struggling in the same ways that you are who happen to have been born into a different colour skin and who deal with this terrifying rollercoaster in a way that is different to yours.

Which breaks first? Your mind? Your speakers? Or your will to live? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csCJOoO5rT4

Thanks for the birthday gift Virgil Pink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IC70Yb4fV8
