Mooji - The Embodiment Of Truth

Mooji is the name of a Jamaican born spiritual guide in the Hindu-tradition of Advaita which is oneness-teaching beyond all religions. He has many videos on youtube where he holds "Satsang" (association with the truth) a meeting where spiritual seekers come and are given a chance to do self-inquiry. Jonahgold of Goldheart recordings has been very taken with this mans teachings and has decided to put some of his words to music in this case namely the riddim from recent Daweh Congo offering ‘Don’t Be Afraid’.


Jonah said of the recordings “I have made three cuts featuring Mooji and I intend to make many more. I think he's the ultimate dub-vocalist. I'm deeply in love with his teaching and vibe. It's my number one inspiration for all music. I know he has heard and approved of his lyrics being adapted to my reggae-dub and being originally from Jamaica he likes his reggae of course.”
There is no doubt Mooji does have a very deep, soothing voice which gives the song a very peaceful and meditive vibe and it will be interesting to hear what lies ahead.

The song is being given away free with people encouraged to share it around. You can download it here.

Soom T & Disrupt - Ode 2 A Carrot


Soom T & Disrupt’s ‘Ode 2 A Carrot’ is a full on tongue-in-cheek homage to the inhalation of the divine weed on meticulous yet insane 8bit digital reggae riddims. For those of us of a certain age, these riddims, with their bleeps and bloops bring back fond memories of old arcade games like Space Invaders, Pac Man and Defender, but despite all this techno, digital, wizardry these songs, with their heavy bass lines and Soom T’s engaging, yet at times annoying, deejay/rap style have a rough-hewn quality that gives them warmth and charm. This is no completely chilled out stoner album with a lot of the tracks having a zest about them that easily transfers to the dance floor. I expect this is the sort of album that you’ll either love or hate yet despite my penchant for more organic sounds this album and Jahtari production in general, seems to be able to make all the right noises for me.
