Today marks a decade since our first album came out and we’ve just released a new EP, 10 Past Midnight, reflecting on 10 years of resistance in sound & remaining unsilenced in a time of stifled dissent.

Only available on Bandcamp & Ampwall, in protest.

How Black Men Lose Their Smile is one of the most powerful tracks and lyrical compositions I’ve come across in a long while. Bashy is on another level here — this is grime for adults who value personal growth.

If you haven’t heard (or seen) this please take a moment to do.

This Black Friday why not buck the trend and get yourself some delicious Fold vinyl? It’s subversive, dissenting and the man won’t even know you’re listening to it.

There’s even a bundle with all 4 of our 12” releases for £35.

As a North American expat living in the UK for the past 22 years I can safely report that here there is simply no such thing as Thanksgiving. They do have Black Friday, inexplicably, but not one person here has even mentioned Thanksgiving to me on the actual day in 22 years.

Happy birthday to the martial arts genius and philosopher Bruce Lee who would have been 85 today.

This is our tribute to him from 2015 featuring his own voice and thoughtful illuminations:

From 1pm on Sep 11, 2001 after I’d made it back to my Brooklyn studio apartment, I feared terrorism would become the US military-industrial complex’s perennial pretext to wage any & all wars in order to secure the world’s little remaining fossil fuel supplies.

Awesome to see @taxjustice.net celebrating the West Yorkhire Mayor’s Safer Communities Fund that puts seized criminal assets back into grass roots community projects. It is thanks to this fund that we were able to run our music production workshop for young people facing barriers this past year 💖
In our latest podcast the #Taxcast goes to West Yorkshire to see social reuse of seized assets in action. Plus: President Trump has pardoned convicted money launderer & billionaire founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. What are the ramifications? podcasts.taxjustice.net/episode/158-...

Had a lovely time dropping underground 90s hip hop this morning on a crowd that was probably there for anything but 😂 Good vibes at the @nathbrudenell.bsky.social Record Fair. On until 3pm today!

(NB the video’s from right before I came on. Clearly that’s not underground hip hop playing).

To truly understand our world one must view it through the lens of fossil fuels: how much of each remain, where they are located & who controls them? These are the 5 countries with most “proven oil reserves”:

1. Venezuela
2. Saudi Arabia
3. Iran
4. Iraq
5. Canada

On a personal note, I’m selling my beloved electric guitar as it’s less suited for our stage show than the studio and I’ll be on primary live axe duties going forward. This guitar’s appeared on most of the Fold catalogue. Here’s the listing if you’re interested:

It is a week on from the release of our latest work 10 Past Midnight and we just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported us with this and past releases. We can’t adequately convey how much it means to us 💖

Discovered/fell in love with the music of @fold.fm this year. Deftly blending funk & hip-hop aesthetics and clips from various speeches & media, these songs are catchy-yet-poignant, with a message that sticks with you long after it's over. Like DJ Shadow w/ more politics!

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Our sentiments exactly and entirely…
1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose.

Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

There is a poignant synchronicity in the death of Dick Cheney coinciding with the election of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social as the first Muslim Mayor of New York City. The “Cheney Doctrine” had a devastating impact on Muslim countries and Cheney was also operationally responsible on / for 9/11.
