Here’s a great interview with Victor Rice whose tunes we’ve featured a fair few times here on weeds with our musical collaborator Jazzmin Tutum on Dub Kali Rootz a couple of weeks ago on Radio Dreyeckland (Germany’s first free radio station). It’s interesting stuff and well worth listening to. Something to put on loud while dreaming of spring. Big Up Victor and Jazzmin!
Gardening has taken a bit of a back seat for the last week or so due to some DIY jobs at Weeds HQ and we’ve also been working on a 16 minute rework of Madtone‘s “Radio is my friend” for the dub poetess Jazz’min Tutum (Thanks to Dr Strangedub of the great Echo Chamber on KFAI for the initial link-up!) Results of the project will appear soon.
Things that are appearing at the moment though are the great flowers of the Dahlia, a tuber that we at Weeds love. In celebration of the glorious flower, here is an exclusive tune (downloadable for nowt) for Weeds from Madtone called “A Dahlia state of mind” a special dub of “Radio is my friend” (originally recorded for a session on The garden of earthly delights radio show.) One for all tuber fans everywhere!
A big thanks to Rob Da Bank for playing the latest tune from Jazzmin & Madtone called “Earth Citizen” 5 minutes into this imaginary soundtrack mix for Bestival Weekly on Soho Radio this week. The mix also includes Tim Hecker, The Kramford Look, Kidkanevil, Solar Bears, Ohal and Loose Meat and it’s great stuff!
If all goes to plan the tune will be released on a compilation on the Swedish label The Sublunar Society later this year. Crank it up!
