Absolute reality. Absolute fantasy. Things that glow. Things that flow. Things that go 'BOOM'. Things that loom. Synergy. Hunger. Connecting. Transforming. Creating. Listening. Respecting. Loving. Having. Not Having. Motion. Stillness.
"Other weapons in the hands of Durga such as a mace, sword, disc, arrow, and trident convey the idea that one weapon cannot destroy all kinds of enemies. Different weapons must be used to fight enemies depending upon the circumstances. For example, selfishness must be destroyed by detachment, jealousy by desirelessness, prejudice by self-knowledge, and ego by discrimination."
From 1996 - 2001 I produced music under the name Totemplow. I collaborated with and remixed artists like DJ Spooky, Mick Harris (Quoit), Aube and Persona. My debut album 'Applaud the Execution' (Manifold Records) received a 4 finger rating in Alternative Press Magazine and garnered such comments as "one of the deepest... mixes around, and his work should garner wide critical acclaim" and "start buzzing now as Totemplow deserves your ears".
Most recently (2006/07) I have remixed Kid Beyond, Yoko Solo, Playground, GOONDA, Eric D Clark and Hotdrop. Have collaborated on tracks with Kush Arora, Dub Gabriel and Dhruva including vocalists Yo Majesty and MC Coppa.
My premier project OTHER WEAPONS features vocalists Dr Israel, Juakali, Zulu, Coppa, Profisee and Lady K.
