"TEN YEARS FLOATING DOWN THE HUDSON... For the tens of thousands of people that have journeyed to piers, boats and clubs during that time—not to mention the global audience they have acquired—a real transformation occurs. Whatever you bring inside is, during the course of hours of an organic, electronic hypnosis, turned into something shared by everyone around you. This is why the party has lasted, will last much longer: it is a community free of judgments and restrictions. It is a safe place to express yourself, to find out new things about yourself... With so many influences behind Turntables on the Hudson, it’s easy to see why everyone feels at home. In a place where any music that moves you is not only welcomed but encouraged, there’s room for everyone. That’s part of the magic—that’s the heart of the magic. It is political in that no one is excluded; it is social in that lasting bonds are constantly formed; it is religious in that everything points towards union, which is the very meaning of the word religion. It is an experience that has to be experienced to be understood." -text by Derek Beres (from the forthcoming 10 Year Anniversary booklet)

Kaleta & Akoya Afrobeat The Spirit Of Fela Is Alive & Well Mukatsuku Records 4/5 An explosive slice of Afrobeat from Kaleta gets the licensing thumbs up from Mukatsuku, who finally get this gem to the Fela faithful. Originally clocking in at over 14 minutes, its been chopped virtually in half to add more punch and immediacy, whilst on the flip Guynamite and label boss Nik Weston add a more contemporary boogie house twist to the original, in doing so losing none of the vitality or the 'Fela' essence.

Direction musicale et mise en scène : Franck Biyong.
Depuis cinquante ans que cette tourmente menace dans les hauts-fourneaux de l'incurie de l'humanité, nous y sommes. Dans le mur, au bord du gouffre, comme seul l'homme sait le faire avec brio, qui ne perçoit la réalité que lorsqu'elle lui fait mal. Telle notre bonne vieille cigale à qui nous prêtons nos qualités d'insouciance. Nous avons chanté, dansé. Quand je dis « nous », entendons un quart de l'humanité tandis que le reste était à la peine.
Nous avons construit la vie meilleure, nous avons jeté nos pesticides à l'eau, nos fumées dans l'air, nous avons conduit trois voitures, nous avons vidé les mines, nous avons mangé des fraises du bout monde, nous avons voyagé en tous sens, nous avons éclairé les nuits, nous avons chaussé des tennis qui clignotent quand on marche, nous avons grossi, nous avons mouillé le désert, acidifié la pluie, créé des clones, franchement on peut dire qu'on s'est bien amusés.
On a réussi des trucs carrément épatants, très difficiles, comme faire fondre la banquise, glisser des bestioles génétiquement modifiées sous la terre, déplacer le Gulf Stream, détruire un tiers des espèces vivantes, faire péter l'atome, enfoncer des déchets radioactifs dans le sol, ni vu ni connu.
Franchement on s'est marrés. Franchement on a bien profité.
Et on aimerait bien continuer, tant il va de soi qu'il est plus rigolo de sauter dans un avion avec des tennis lumineuses que de biner des pommes de terre.
Certes. Mais nous y sommes. A la Troisième Révolution. Qui a ceci de très différent des deux premières (la Révolution néolithique et la Révolution industrielle, pour mémoire) qu'on ne l'a pas choisie. « On est obligés de la faire, la Troisième Révolution ? » demanderont quelques esprits réticents et chagrins. Oui. On n'a pas le choix, elle a déjà commencé, elle
