Have a listen to this beautiful mix by Rhys Salt featuring 'Mingos' from the upcoming release 'Re-Promo' by Enitokwa .

'i knocked my head yesterday and now I see the spirals
they form in your eyes + spread
they ooze from the follicles of your hair
squirm out of the cracks in the floor

can you see the spirals?
if so you are not alone
i breathe spirals from my lungs
sneeze them from my tomb
oh won't you spiral with me, spiral with me...'

'Friendship depends on trust, not money, not power, not mere education or knowledge. Only if there is trust will there be friendship. Trust is related to whether we have a sincere motivation. If we are sincere in taking care of others, if we protect their lives and respect their rights, we’ll be able to conduct our lives transparently and that is the basis of trust, which in turn is the basis of friendship.' Dalai Lama

Well, I might as well get some content going on the page. Here's an early one from seasoned techno and ambient specialist Enitokwa , who is the first artist whose music I am honoured to be releasing later this year. Wicked video here by none other than Ben Stokes of DHS/ Meat Beat Manifesto with this track featuring on the far out 'Tino Vision' audiovisual compilation, found here: https://archive.org/details/TinoVisionIncomplete
