Turntable Spoilsports and Bush records present a new album from Digital Primate:

BUY IT ON ITUNES NOW! (click here)

DIGITAL PRIMATE - Keep Calm and Carry On

Digital Primate has gone back to the dubs created by MAD PROFESSOR during their Ariwa sessions of '05 and come up with a whole new body of work.

Mixed and dubbed by Mad Professor, these tracks have their foundations in Digital Primate's previous album "SIEGE MENTALITY" (also mixed at Ariwa Studios in London by Mad Professor and Joe Ariwa) but comprise a brand new body of work that stands up in it's own right.

Mad Professor, famous for his work with all the reggae and roots legends of the last 30 years and his remixes for Massive Attack and many others, has really made his mark on this new work by Digital Primate, by mixing these dubs through his hand-built SSL desk and delivering his trademark sound, Mad Professor has imbued this album with a timeless quality and a dubwise sensibility that is immediate and classic.

Digital Primate has then taken the dubs and added his final touch with some extra sounds and rythms.

The result is powerful and magnificent.

With cover art created by the original graf rebel in Melbourne MARCSTA (Marc De Jong), Digital Primate's new album "Keep Calm and Carry On" is a fully rounded and mature work that will stand the test of time.

About Mad Professor:

Mad Professor (born Neil Joseph Stephen Fraser, 1955, Georgetown, Guyana) is a dub music producer and engineer known for his original productions and remix work. He is considered one of the leading producers of dub music’s second generation and was instrumental in transitioning dub into the digital age. He is a prolific producer, contributing to or producing nearly 200 albums. He has collaborated with reggae artists such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sly and Robbie, Pato Banton, Jah Shaka and Horace Andy, as well as artists outside the realm of traditional reggae and dub, such as Sade, Massive Attack, The Orb, and Brazilian DJ Marcelinho da lua. His best-known project, perhaps, is 1995's No Protection, an electronic dub version of Massive Attack's second album, Protection.

About Marcsta:

Marc de Jong (AKA marcsta) is one of Melbourne’s most notable illegal street artists. He completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at VCA. Prior to that, he studied under Howard Arkley at the Prahran College of TAFE. He has held over 15 solo exhibitions and was a finalist in the Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and in the 2008 Fleurieu Biennale. He also featured in the April-June issue of Australian Art Collector magazine. His work is held in various collections throughout Australia, including National Gallery of Australia, Ballarat Fine Art Gallery, Monash University and Artbank. His work has also featured on the cover of Adbusters.

Current mood:hopeful
Today, Wednesday 13th February, our Prime Minister Kevin Rudd apologised to the Indigenous people of this country, he apologised for the past policies and actions of the government of Australia over the last 200 years of modern occupation, he apologised to the "Stolen generation" who suffered great harm because of our previous apartheid style "white Australia" policies.

Finally, I feel proud to say I am Australian (as well as Irish)!

And I am proud to stand by our Prime Minister in this sincere and genuine apology!

I think now our country can start to mature as a nation and now, we can start to face up to the effects of the negative causes created in the past and change these to a positive outcome for all our future.

Current mood:  cheerful
which means, we better not fuck it up! Now that we have a slightly more progressive government in Australia, I think it falls on us to keep up the pressure, speak up about injustices and be upfront about our need to tackle the big issues head on.

We have a great economy, lets use the money wisely on quality of life issues.. education, health, world diplomacy, renewable energy development,

and better quality PARTAAAAAAAYS!

hey yo.. lemme tell you the story behind the picture that I have currently on my profile.. it is also the cover art for the latest single...
it was the g20 riots in Melbourne November 17th 2006...
after the barriers had been breached and the riot cops had come forward and things quietened down a bit, I went up to this cop and politely asked him if I could have my photo taken with him, mentioning that I practice buddhism and that I would pose no threat to his safety. I think this may have confused him somewhat, hence the look on his face. But he was a nice fella and the photo came out great.

It was a funny
