SINGLE RELEASED TO MARK SEXUAL ABUSE/SEXUAL VIOLENCE AWARENESS WEEK 2022
In between the deaths of Sarah Everard and Sabina Nessa on March 3rd 2021 and September 17th 2021 respectively, 77 other women in the UK were killed by men - one woman every 2.5 days.
Globally, that figure rises to a sickening six women an hour.
The anger, frustration and bitterness felt by women everywhere is captured by Bristol artists MARIA and Martin Badder on their new music single Home By Nine (Nervous Records). Released Feb 11th to coincide with the official 2022 Sexual Abuse / Sexual Violence Awareness Week, the track’s vocal line came instinctively to songwriter and Dutty Moonshine Big Band MC, MARIA:
“I wrote Home by Nine on a train one day. I was feeling so overwhelmed, so hurt by everything my friends and I had experienced in our lives. It all came crashing down on me and my heart honestly broke that day.
“There isn’t a woman in my life who at some point hasn’t been afraid, followed, assaulted, or not believed. Not a single one. I felt like I was burning with anger at the injustice of it... and then the words just came out. I’ve been writing since I was 16, and nothing has ever flowed out onto the page so quickly. It needed to come out. It needs to be said.”
Badder, who counts support from Damian Lazarus, Dubfire, Nicole Moudaber, Sasha, John Digweed, Carl Craig and releases on Nervous Records, Toolroom, Strictly Rhythm, Crosstown Rebels, DFTD, REALM, Armada and Circus Recordings, brings a low-key, delicate garage style to the single, allowing the focus to remain squarely on MARIA’s heart-breaking topline.
“Last year during lockdown I heard MARIA’s spoken word Home By Nine,” he said, “and the message just hit so hard and stuck with me. At the time I was jamming a new groove in the studio and thinking about possible toplines for the track and suddenly thought of Home By Nine. MARIA came to my studio and within a few minutes we had a final take, it happened so quick and felt so right, we knew we were on to something. I think subconsciously I was writing the instrumental for MARIA without even knowing it.
MARIA adds: “The way things are right now, it is normal to be afraid. But being afraid does not make us weak. It makes us strong, and I want women everywhere to know that.”
All profits from the single will go to charities Bristol Women’s Voice and SARSAS (Somerset & Avon Rape and Sexual Abuse Support). Katy Taylor, director of Bristol Women’s Voice, said:
“We are living through an epidemic of male violence against women and girls and ‘Home By Nine’ is a powerful reminder of the dangers women face and the fear they experience daily. Bristol Women’s Voice is committed to making Bristol a city free from all forms of gender-based violence and we will continue to do everything in our power to tackle the sexism and misogyny that lays the foundations for male violence. We are proud to be a part of this project alongside SARSAS, which does such vital work to support survivors of sexual violence in and around Bristol.”
Badder hope the track’s message will open vital conversations, particularly with men:
“If it just makes one person think twice or change their attitude, I feel we will have achieved a greatness with this track. I have both a young daughter and a son, so I am so keen for the world to a better place when they grow up.”Picard Brothers - Dead GoodNervousRecordsNYC2022-02-04 | Produced and Mixed by Picard Brothers Bass, Guitar, Drum Programming, and Synthesizer by Picard Brothers Recorded at Picard Brothers' Paris studio Mixed by Picard Brothers Mastered by Alex Gopher, Translab Mastering Studios, Paris

We're back again in 2022!Jasper Street Co. at Ministry of Sound 2019NervousRecordsNYC2021-12-14 | One of the world’s most iconic house labels welcomes Jasper Street Co. for a fantastic new album that features legendary guests like Norma Jean and Byron Stingily, plus remixes from David Morales, Kenny Carpenter and Dimitri From Paris. Consisting of vocalists Randy Roberts, Vonita White and Richard Burton, as well as super producers Teddy Douglas and DJ Spen - Jasper Street Co. is the premier gospel-oriented house-music group and for almost 25 years now they have injected the scene with some of the most uplifting and emotional music imaginable. Almost their entire career has seen them release on Basement Boys Records but following a single in 2018 they now step out on Nervous with a third full length album that will leave you feeling utterly joyful. Teddy is one of the founding and core members of The Basement Boys, a monumental production team behind multiple hits including the 1991 gold single “Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee, La Da Da)” – arguably one of the greatest house music productions of all time. The Basement Boys earned maximum respect from the music industry and fans worldwide as they always remained true to the roots of quality house, but still were able to bring that house feeling to productions with pop artists like Michael Jackson, Lenny Kravitz and Erykah Badu, while still making hits for core dance artists like Ultra Naté and Martha Wash. DJ Spen also has a storied connection with the Baltimore music world. From his days in the early 80s making mix tapes for local Baltimore radio shows to his experience as a founding member of a group called Numarx that originally recorded “Girl You Know It’s True,” which eventually was a number one worldwide hit for Milli Vanilli, to his eventual work with The Basement Boys, Spen has solidified his position as a major figure in the American House Music Industry. Things open up with a very special track featuring two vocal icons in Norma Jean and Byron Stingily, and both deliver some of their best work to set a perfect tone for this most richly emotive of records. The rolling ‘My Soul Is A Witness’ is another piano laced vocal cut with real heart, then longtime collaborator DJ Spen links with David Anthony to remix ‘I Wanna Be Happy’ into a bumping house track with choirs delivering rejoiceful choruses and the utterly feel good, authentic and uplifting gospel house vibes continue on ‘Anything’, ‘Oh Give Thanks’ and the standout title track. Big pianos, crisp drums and the spirit of hallelujah permeates this most timeless and euphoric house album as it plays out through a brilliantly old school remix from the legendary David Morales and big disco vibes from Kenny Carpenter & Dimitri From Paris. This record very much embodies the heartfelt spirit of real house music and does so in memorable fashion.
A big part of hip-hop culture is defining who you are in relation to the hood, city or borough in which you were born and bred. This environmental ethos has helped shape hip-hop’s bravado since it was conceived in the South Bronx in the early ‘70s, and is seeing a contemporary resurgence as some of rap’s new generation are retracing their hip-hop origins.
Perhaps no single area holds to this creed closer than New York City’s County of Kings, a place that prides itself on having a notorious reputation. For instance, there’s probably not a hip-hop fan on the planet who hasn’t at least once heard the chants “Where Brooklyn at?” or “Is Brooklyn in the house?” at a party or rap concert. Recently, Flatbush native Casanova and his Bed-Stuy neighbor Fabolous’ collaboration “So Brooklyn” has rekindled borough-wide pride and sparked a “So Brooklyn Challenge” that has set fire to social media, inspiring established names like Maino, Papoose, and Joell Ortiz to pen their own odes to the borough that gave birth to some of the most rugged raps and street narratives to come out of the culture.
Brooklyn maintained a strong presence within hip-hop throughout the ‘80s with artists like Big Daddy Kane, Special Ed, MC Lyte, and X-Clan, but you can say that Black Moon helped the borough declare its independence as a sovereign nation within the culture. Black Moon’s debut LP Enta da Stage (1993) not only introduced the group’s front man Buckshot as a premier emcee and the production team Da Beatminerz as a force within the industry, but it also opened the door for the entire Boot Camp Clik collective who would serve as the military special forces brigade of Brooklyn’s eventual dominance over East Coast hip-hop.
Dah Shinin’ opens like an auditory article of war, grabbing your attention with DJ Evil Dee’s cuts and scratches as the beat settles over a track that details the dress code for soldiers who have enlisted to help plant the flag of Brooklyn on a higher mountain in the world of hip-hop. The album opener “Timz N Hood Chek” was one of the first musical acknowledgements of the Timberland clothing brand, whose boots have endured as one of the most important fashion symbols within the culture and have become almost synonymous with the ruggedness of Brooklyn. In the song, Steele explains “What up to all my cock strong troops in they boots / true to tha game stayin' true to they roots / that's how we choose to remain, cause we just can't change / and we won't change, still stay the same” to provide a little background of how a water-resistant boot most likely created for the outdoorsman or even the blue-collar laborer was adopted to traverse the harsh terrain of urban America.
The group revisit the topic several times throughout the LP, including the third and final single “Wrekonize” where Tek asserts, “The deals going down like this / run off at the mouth, watch your lips and my boots do a French kiss.” Produced by Da Beatminerz member Baby Paul, “Wrekonize” also spawned an acclaimed remix in the tradition of their Boot Camp forerunners Black Moon whose similar debut LP was almost solely devoted to hardcore rhymes. In response, Da Beatminerz developed a successful formula of making slightly more daytime friendly remixes to help broaden the base of Black Moon and Smif-N-Wessun listeners. In the “Wrekonize (Remix)” also produced by Baby Paul who samples the popular Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers single “Just the Two of Us,” Tek and Steele guide listeners through a day in the life of Smif-N-Wessun, which of course includes getting suited and booted in the group’s favorite apparel as Tek explains with the line, “Timbs all season for ass-kicking reasons / never know when you’ll catch a spy committing treason.”
Aside from dressing for combat on a daily basis, Tek, a native of Bed-Stuy, and Steele who hails from Brownsville, were also pioneers in adding other layers of authenticity to the very sound of Brooklyn based hip-hop. Any trip to the borough is not complete, especially in the ‘80s and ‘90s without overhearing a conversation that is brought to life by a West Indian dialect or a city block made appetizing by the smell of Caribbean cuisine. The Bushwick based production team Da Beatminerz who carried the full load of Dah Shinin’, as well as Enta da Stage, proved to be right at home with Reggae themes, but stepped into full stride for the song “Sound Bwoy Bureill.”
