DEEPBLAK Label Nite in Berlin. It’s funny to think that we sat together in Afrikan Sciences apt. in Oakland in 2006 as a small group of sonic misfits trying to figure out a way to perform together. Life has a funny way leading paths away then back together, but here we found ourselves in my new home of Berlin for the 1st DEEPBLAK Label Night. It was a truly magical evening, and a cap to what has been an amazing year for DEEPBLAK. To be able to merge my worlds in a night of sonic travels, was something i will always cherish. Afrikan Sciences, and Damon Bell in from Oakland, along with my Berlin massive of Loganic & the mad scientist that is Onyx Ashanti… simply beautiful.

Smiles and vibes in the air…definitely a historic night. To ALL DEEPBLAK massive worldwide your energy/love was present. It’s so tough to put a whole evening into context, but here is a snapshot. Also an amazing glimpse at the end of the vid of Onyx’s stunning live performance. ~ A

AYBEE – Return To Underground/Fohat

http://www.soundsoftheuniverse.com/releases/?id=33617

Seventh release on Soul Jazz Records subsidiary Sounds Of The Universe imprint! Exclusive to www.soundsoftheuniverse.com and www.souljazzrecords.co.uk

Bay Area producer Armon Bazile has pushed a steadfast brand of deep house since the millennium, working with labels of Prescription and Yoruba’s stature, releasing a string of releases on the forward-thinking labels like Washington State’s Further Records, and drawing an Oakland-based collective of like-minded artists into his own Deepblak imprint.

This special art & sound 12″ conveys his meditative, spiritual approach, drawing on a blend of cosmic and spiritual sonics — bringing to mind detroit techno, german space-rock, Sun Ra — and resolutely innovative, rhythm-heavy dance tracks.

Sleeve Designed by a London-based artist Tom Howey and printed on Polyester.

AYBEE at Plastic People London

AYBEE Soundcheck at Plastic People (London) 2013

Was an honor to grace the decks at the now Legend that is Plastic People (LDN). No speakers visible. All Speakers built into the walls surrounding you… never saw anything like it. Immersive sound no matter where you were standing. Needles to say DJ Deep and myself thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Bless to Alexander Nut, and crew for the invite. Glad to be on the right side of a History. – A

A few moments from the 1st SoN’y Rays which is Deepblak’s quarterly gathering diving into LIVE cosmic beats, rhythms, and space travel from the Deepblak cast & fam. Here are a few seconds of what was an amazing set up of Afrikan Sciences, AYBEE, LA Beat Master Dibia$e, and EPS1 of Blaktroniks all wired to jam LIVE. Unfortunately our videographer had to cancel so we don’t have much footage, but you can get an idea of the mode… prepping for 02 stay locked.

[ FILM ] AYBEE VLOG | 7904 | Secretsundaze London (2012)

A few moments from the Secresundaze 2012 season opening party. A truly amazing day, and great music by All involved. Secretsundaze purveyor’s Giles Smith & James Priestly opened and closed the day off class fashion. Did not film any of my set as totally forgot about my cam til the end of my set. Started filming after, and captured bits of Wbeeza’s amazing (LIVE) set along with the mighty Deetron after. So good to connect with London Fam. Definitely a day that will be replayed in my mind for years to come. Love Respect and Power to ALL involved.
