Feel my Bicep

Readers from Japan may recognise KZA as half of Force of Nature- This track is of  ‘DIG AND EDIT’ KZA’s first solo album, which was produced with fellow Endless Flight artist Kuniyuki aka Koss. Literally haven’t had it off since getting it earlier this month of Endless Flight records, the EP is getting support from Citizen Kane and Social disco Club.  The 11 tracks on the album have strong parallels with the Force of Nature sound, and are made from cuts of KZA’s favourite finds of obscure old records ranging from jazz, rock, and disco.

Had a nice read of the DJ Harvey- Disco Punk feature on RA today, and it made me grin a little…I think every radio mix be it on Beats in Space or EVR with Harvey makes me do the “laugh-out loud-on-the-train thing”  when listening to it on the old iPhone, mainly when he brings his joyful charisma to an interview. I like the Harvey and Kane duo, it makes for a good radio partnership, thanks to Dennis “Citizen” Kane for hooking us up with this mix a while back.

Bringing a smile to everyone’s face here is 2 hours of Harvey and Kane ripping it up!

Hey Dennis! How are you doing? I couldn’t believe it when I heard couple several months ago that you’ve been hit by a truck! What happened?

I was riding my bike from my home in Manhattan to my studio in Queens, making a right turn, (in a designated bike lane) in Greenpoint Brooklyn, I was clipped from behind by an 18 wheel 15 ton fuel oil truck…. It ran over my bike, and then it ran over my pelvis. I have a dozen pelvic cracks, a degloved right thigh (flesh torn from bone), and a compressed lower calf (muscle impacted to bone – think of a pressed cubano sandwhich), and various cuts and bruises. I spent 8 days at Bellevue intensive care, loving Morphine and ice. One day at a phony out-paitent spot – from which I escaped (healthcare is a total scam), and have been rehabbing at home and at a sports rehab facility. All things considered, it is good to be alive, not to overstate, but it was a life or death moment……
