Dada Black Sheep
The songs from Sabka Malik Ek tell of a fragmented world, through a melange of surf rock, funk and seventies’ Bollywood vibes. “Sabka Malik Eik” riffs off of a popular spiritual hymn, to explore the idea of subservience to a “master”, while “Sthithi” mourns the rise of hate in India. In the absence of concrete answers to these existential dilemmas, one can only dance. The tracks were crafted together with Polish producer and instrumentalist Alex Makowski.
As a teenager, Dada was inspired to play guitar after attending a Dick Dale concert in Calcutta. Years later, he discovered that the Dale who appeared at the show was actually an impersonator. Nevertheless, Dada’s love for wailing licks and fat grooves remained.

Folk Song Stylist
Abner Jay was a man who had a grand sweeping vision of what folk music was. In his lifetime his expression of what folk music could be encompassed some serious stylistic variations. Sometimes he was a one man band traveling troubadour playing an electric banjo, harmonica, & drums who tried to hoodwink audiences into believing that he was 150 years old & the standard bearer for authentic Americana. Sometimes he played in electric straight up R&B bands such as “Koko Joe & the Jobhunters”.
Culled from a mix of Abners’ 45’s & LPs spanning the period 1964 – 1973, including Abner’s first LP.

Einer der frühesten Filme der Filmgeschichte beschreibt im Jahr 1903 die Hinrichtung eines Elefanten, der drei Wächter getötet hatte, im Vergnügungspark Coney Island bei New York AUF DEM ELEKTRISCHEN STUHL. Man sieht die qualmenden Elektroden an den Füßen des Elefanten und wie er umfällt. Das Publikum war fasziniert. Die Szene setzt noch heute den Zuschauer in Schrecken.
Elefanten wurden zur Unterhaltung der Frontsoldaten im 1. Weltkrieg, zu Elefantenrennen auf Pferdetrabbahnen und in vielen anderen Vergnügungzentren eingesetzt. Nie aber so schrecklich wie von der Edison-Filmproduktion und dem Vergnügungspark Coney Island.

Emergent Rays
Jungle Gym Records presents “Emergent Rays”, official label debut of legendary underground stalwart Jason Letkiewicz (Steve Summers, Confused House, etc., etc., etc.). In this barren mountain landscape sunlight flickers from stone to snow, six radiant reverberations contorted through shadows and into the light. Produced with a minimal selection of vintage hardware, “Emergent Rays” is Letkiewicz at his most direct (and most vulnerable), a hyper-focused collection of effortless expansions, forever lost in the drift.
