LIVE: King Kapisi: Dubmarine @ The Dreaming 2010

What a night?! Our band played early evening with a short clip submitted by scattah, then I jumped up with Digging Roots from Canada (no video footage so far), Dave Dow asked me to jump up on their set, then we headed to the alterNative stage to vibe with Dubmarine...whew - love it! Thanks all to those that made the Dreaming just that. Peace!

LIVE: King Kapisi: Dave Dow and the Human Groove - The Dreaming 2010


What is there to be said about pure artistic talent with a jam - mean baby mean! This clip is taken from the Sunday night at The Dreaming 2010 in Woodford, Queensland, Australia. Before this was a jam with Digging Roots from Canada - too slow on the video tip, then we hit the stage with Dave Dow and the Human Groove - the last appearance for the night was with Dubmarine - Will throw it up soon. Peace!

  Hip-Hop 4 Life feat. Ben Vai by King Kapisi

VIDEO: Black Glory - Scalper

What can you say about a brother like Scalper? He is raw, he is ill, he is like nothing you have heard or seen before. Our Pakistani brother from London now residing in Aucklands magical west coast Bethells Beach. Conscious and direct, poetic and fluid, deep and honest. Peep his clip! Ah yes...and while we on the topic don't forget to BOYCOTT BP!

VIDEO: maitreya - Sin City ft. AWA (Nesian Mystik)

This brother is like no other - one of the most hardest working cats we have had the privilege of working with. If you dig and celebrate unity, progressive originality you need to be following the pursuits of maitreya - raised in Otautahi, Te Wai Pounamu - representing the universe. This is his latest clip:

LIVE: Slightly longer Clip at The Dreaming 2010 - more to come!

Thanks to Scattah we have around a minute of the last track of our set - Underground featuring Voodoo Dred from Grrilla Step, Oni the Haitian Sensation, Ykson from New Caledonia and Brother Radical Son - Boh!
