I added Live and Raw to the studio albums on Bandcamp (was only on itunes, spotify, amazon etc). I like having this on there as it is a real ball breaker that stunned some of the more world/trad fans & journalists :) Shows our more wild and, well raw side. https://invisiblesystem.bandcamp.com/album/live-and-raw

I'm coming out of the closet! Invisible System first gig in a while at Sunrise Festival - Cats Cradle Stage - day/time to come. Also at The One Love Reggae Festival in Luton in Aug (day/time to come) - some great names there from John Holt to Gary Clail , Aba-Shanti & Maka B and supposedly Glastonbury - 2 gigs booked at 2 great spots but the stages are having problems getting all the artists tickets/passes i think so will have to see... it isn't like the old days http://www.onelovefestival.co.uk/ https://sunrisecelebration.com/

And the flip side album to Acid Mali 2000, Azmariz; this album celebrates our fusion work with Ethiopian Azmaris..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TokL3nfnotg&list=UUEYyNKzXlzbmJr84Is-sNug&feature=c4-overview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wp-yCyXVIU&list=UUEYyNKzXlzbmJr84Is-sNug&feature=c4-overview Acid Mali 2000 is released in around 3 weeks as a double album alongside Azmariz. Acid Mali was recorded in Mali, in the Sahara Desert in the year 2000 using a solar panel and car battery with a shite old 3GB hard drive laptop running the defunct Egosystems Wami Box! The first laptop sound card/sampler that was a nightmare, never worked properly and died a death.. The album sweats out the heat of the desert with me fuelled up on Malian tea and acid pumping out my youth in Brighton, Brixton and passing through Goa whilst backpacking in India!

Azmariz Vs Acid Mali 2000 will be released on my birthday Feb 15th as I do not want to spend Xmas sorting out release etc I'll be 43! Acid Mali released 13 years after its creation in the desert town of Seavre in 48-52oC, with limited diet and limited electricity on a 3GB hard drive laptop running an Egosystems Wami Box - first laptop soundcard/sampler that never worked and was withdrawn from the market! I bought it the month of release to put in my backpack as I left Brighton and Brixton for my real homeland. God I miss that place at the moment. Be warned. Acid Mali is pure Malian electronic acid! I was 30 and had been in India (including Goa) then Brixton and Brighton and was sweating through the intense heat, poverty and limited resources in the desert after. Azmariz is a compilation nod to Ethiopia. X
