Bleep

Following on from the brilliant ‘Pisces Problems’ EP that felt love from the likes of Annie Mac, Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova, Benji B through to The Face and DAZED, LMP Recordings is pleased to present a new remix by poet and artist James Massiah. Massiah has worked with the likes of Tate Modern, Vogue, i-D, curated events for Boiler Room and hosts the Poætry Show on NTS radio. TYSON and James will be hosting a special show on NTS radio on the 7th June to celebrate.

In the track Massiah’s poetry weaves in and out of fragmented stories of his own, and the listener gets glimpses of a deep and meaningful conversation. ‘'devil may care, we all die one day'

On the remix, Massiah says "I really enjoyed working on this remix, it's my first one and I hadn't released any music in a while so I had to really find a new gear for this. When I was sent the original I had it on loop for days, my friend had come over for dinner and she said "Are you just going to play this all night? I mean it's great but, it's been on for 2 hours now!" Tyson and Oscar did something really special and I wanted to do the remix justice in a way that honoured my style of production and the sentiment of the tune.

Someone I was seeing at the time inspired the lyrics for a verse that didn't make it into the final mix, but that really helped me to shape the feel of the tune, I used Giggs' flow from some of tune dedicated to his girlfriend on 'Ard Bodied but ultimately wanted to deliver something that felt fresh and not too heavily referential. I was listening to jungle, grime, acid and dancehall around this time, as reference points for the remix.

"I'm ultimately really proud of this and thankful for the opportunity to have worked on it. My dream is to hear it at carnival on a big sound system, with Tyson in earshot too. That would be a dream come true"

Another collaboration rising from TYSON’s eco-system, this is one for those late night out door parties..
