Got to admit I never really understood why people wanted to DJ but after being asked here http://www.beinghuman.com/home__.html with 15mins warning to do it after Jamie from 1 giant leap performing a heart acoustic set upstairs I enjoyed meeting some great people without worrying about band, guitar, synth, mixer, feedback and lyrics and joy for all there . And I didn't beat match a thing;)

please vote before tues for us

If anyone would care to vote for us before Jan 31st as an independent unit with no budget we would love you! (and give you some music via download:) http://www.songlines.co.uk/phpQ/fillsurvey.php?sid=9 Under the name Invisible System for the album Street Clan under both Cross cultural Collaboration and Best Group. Skip McDonald, Portishead, Ozrics, Eat Static etc on this one and loads of great Ethiopian and Jamaican vocalists and players. Click the link, vote then either click confirmation link sent to your email or enter the verification code emailed to you. For the other two categories pick someone you recognise else our ex-student James Findlay for his debut album! The first album I wrote under the name Invisible System : Punt (Made in Ethiopia) made it to the finals as best newcomer a couple of years back. That had Captain Sensible, The Missions Simon Hinkler, Eat Static, Zion Train, Mahmoud Ahmed etc guesting and it was a nice result for an indie with some major labels and artists in the run who can work full time on it all. Many thanks to all.

An overflow of every possible form of music

Invisible System’s cauldron is overflowing with what at times feels like scraps of every possible form of music. The best thing here is “Mama Yey”, on which Sydney Salmon sings a lazy Lover’s Rock tribute to Ethiopia before the song ends with Zewditu Tadesse’s voice orbiting amid tiny pinpricks of harp. Elsewhere, “Coven” throbs with grungy guitars, and “Azmari Fuse” burns up in a blaze of rhythm.

For me under the name Invisible System for the album Street Clan under both Cross cultural Collaboration and Best Group I would be very grateful and can offer free downloads of the album in return.

Click the link, vote then either click confirmation link sent to your email or enter the verification code emailed to you.

For the other two categories pick someone you recognise else random!

The first album I wrote under the name Invisible System : Punt (Made in Ethiopia) made it to the finals as best newcomer a couple of years back and helped me with promotion.

As an independent artist on my own label I am again up against the giants such as Peter Gabriel's Realworld Records and other majors with huge budgets and artists who can work full time on their projects.

So it is tough to survive as they are somewhat unfair and like pitbulls!

Many thanks to all.

Best
Dan
