Word Power and Sound, The Ancestors and the souls beyond the veil, Reggea music and its many kings chosen to push the conscious vibration forward. Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Tenor Saw, Eeka Mouse, Garnet Silk, Luciano, Jose wales, Charlie Chaplin, Papa san, Ninja Man, Buju Banton, Lieutenant Stichie, Admiral Bailey, and many more, including the sound systems of London and Jamaica in the times of the Sound man, from Uroy the Teacher in the early seventies to my cousin Corporal in the early nineties, The cassette tapes and cd's of the early seventies and eighties I were too young to experience, as well as the times of Saxon, Coxson, Taurus, Unity, and the sound systems in London that I could. I believe these were the days that influenced my passion and excitement for lyrical expression. Roots reggea music and revival was the music closest to my heart, its vibration, drum and bassline tell the story of the African Redemption from the continent and throughout the Diaspora, but it was my Mothers influences of Marvin Gay, Percy Sledge, Otis Reading, Millie Jackson, Augustus Pablo, Al Green, Gladys Knight, Micheal Jackson, and many of the singing Soul sensations of the sixties Seventies motown era that were my earliest memories of music, the days when singers sang with feeling and true soul. I admire Revolutionaries and people who bring about great changes and purpose, people who find their purpose and are inspired to find their purpose, I am inspired by music and not its many genres, I can feel an artist singing rock, just as I can feel an artist singing on reggea, Its not the genre, its the feeling expressed in the music, rhythm and beats may come and go, but true music is eternal.

I've been compared with just about every ancient and oral lyrical tradition I know of, from native american, west african griot, the celtic moor, russian, english, caribbean and irish folk music, voodou, sea shanty, shaman, rap, chant, poetry, song, but El Crisis is El Crisis, Its not just about how lyric's make your mind think, Its about how spirt makes your soul feel, If true music is eternal, then I guess I sound like Eternity, Keep intune> El Crisis

Review: "Don Goliath's "Bagstep EP" (DDR030) is one of those innovative EPs showcasing how versatile Dubstep can get. The unique idea of creating Dubstep versions of celctic (Irish as well as Scottish) folk classics for all you drunkards longing to sing along was Don Goliath's motto when producing this madness. The concept is as simple as effective: he picked 4 of your grandpa's favourites such as "Old Skibbereen", "Scotland the Brave", "Drunken Sailor" and "Amazing Grace" having the melody played by a definitly non-sober Bagpipe section and then layering it with lofi mid range wobbleism - we therefor call it Bagstep. Overall production quality is high grade with that intense sub focus so you can blow-dry your hair right in front of the bass bins. Now let's get into the tunes: "Skibbereen Bagstep" is one of the melancolic minor tunes expressing Irish history as it is. It is an unmixable 3/4 waltz beat at unusual 154bpm, well dancebal though when one moves to the triplets. "Bagstep the brave" should be one of the sickest rebuilds of the Scottish national anthem making it Mel Gibson's signature tune if he had one. "Drunken Bagstep" is a Glitchfest version of the sailors anthem capable of getting you uberdrunk by listening alone, Arrrr! "Amazing Bagstep" is as religious as it gets making it a tune that'll certainly safe xamounts of lost souls. Enjoying the dancefloor got even easier now: drink out the bar, make your skirt fly and sing along to these (future) classics! Some will hate this release and some will love it, there barely is anything in between. All Dubstep Division crew salutes the latter as our fellow beerheadz! cheeeeeerz!"
