HEAVY BUSINESS AT POETIC JUSTICE, LONDON

What an awesome set of performances at Poetic Justice, Conscious hip-hop, poetry and beatboxing from head honcho John Blake, aka The People’s Floet, Luke Miller, DVG, Kev The Poet, Benjamin Meah Shamanic, Kane Headley Cummings, La Roche and Maverick & Malachi. It was the female MCs who particularly blew me away - amazing sets from Eva Rose, Loudspeka, and this heavy collaboration between Shay D and beatboxer Malachi. Expect to hear tracks from many of these cropping up on The Sound Of Freedom soon! Big shout to John for putting it all together. It was my first experience of this event, but it certainly won’t be the last.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 99: LONG LASTIN’, ROUND 4 - DEMONIC SONICS IN HIP-HOP

Conscious music producer Long Lastin’, (who produced the theme music for this series) returns for his fourth GV appearance, as we discuss the ongoing agenda to debase and degrade mainstream ’hip’-hop’ output.

While the manipulation of other music genres receives endless scrutiny, what’s being done to contemporary ‘hip-hop’ is rarely, if ever discussed. We get into what others won’t talk about - the blatantly obvious debasement of the sound frequencies in these recordings, and ask what unseen effects these could be having on those who consistently absorb them - particularly when combined with the degraded lyrical content, and the subliminal programming employed by their accompanying videos.

Long Lastin’ gives his views on the sonic structures of four so-called ‘hip-hop’ bangers, included in this recording. Give these a listen if you’re unfamiliar with the output of this genre and consider how they make you feel.

The intro and outro tracks on this podcast are from Long Lastin’s own album, ‘Illumi-Nation’, which offers inspiring truths through vocal samples set to to new, original beats. You can grab it here -

(Ironically for a conversation about sound production, the quality of the Skype line on this was appalling, so apologies for the less-than-perfect audio quality!)

MARK DEVLIN GUESTS ON OFF PLANET RADIO/ TV, DECEMBER 2016

I guested on Off Planet Radio/ TV just recently with hosts Emily Moyer and Randy Maughans, for a two-hour-plus conversation discussing the “state” of music: Satanism, Freemasonry, subliminals, reverse masking, and the culture of death.

MD TO PERFORM AT MAITREYA FESTIVAL, AUSTRALIA, MARCH 2017

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 98: EMILY MOYER - THE HIDDEN SIDE OF EDM

Emily Moyer, co-host of Off Planet TV & Radio and veteran party raver, joins us from Los Angeles. Up for discussion is the worldwide phenomenon of Electronic Dance Music, with its roots traceable all the way back to the acid house/ rave scene of the UK in the late 1980s. Emily gives her take on how this now colossal genre shows the fingerprints of Establishment manipulation - just like all others - echoing the first Summer of Love of the hippie era which came before it.

We discuss the esoteric, spiritual and dream-like qualities of large-scale festivals and dance events, and consider the effects on the participants that the symbolism and sound frequencies might be having. Unsettling links to Transhumanism are never far away.

Just as previous scenes went hand in hand with LSD, the dance scene has always had ecstasy/ MDMA as its drug of choice, and we consider where the sudden glut of pills may have come from, and how they work with the music to create altered states of mind. Has the whole scene been a massive exercise in social engineering?

Emily also discusses some of the strange and paranormal elements of LA, the epicentre of the American EDM scene. It's no accident that this was the city where this scene truly took off in the US.

MD BEHIND-THE-SCENES INTERVIEW AT THE OPEN MIND CONFERENCE, COPENHAGEN, 2016

Here’s my behind-the-scenes background interview at this year’s Open Mind Conference in Denmark.

MD GUESTS ON MYSTERIOUS RADIO

I was happy to make an appearance on Mysterious Radio with K-Town and Tim this month. The conversation mainly focused on the replacement of Paul McCartney, but got into a few other aspects of the mind-control weaponisation of the corporate music industry too.

MUSICAL TRUTH BOOK TOUR 2016 - IT'S A WRAP

It’s been a memorable year on the road with my Musical Truth Book Tour, having touched down at events in London, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Hull, Liverpool, St. Annes, Bristol, Nottingham, Leicester, Diss, Belfast, Dublin, Riga, Gothenburg, and at the Free Your Mind Conference in Philly, Open Mind in Copenhagen and Amsterdam, the Glastonbury Symposium, the Harlequin Fayre in Norfolk, and The Bases Project in Wiltshire. As well as providing an opportunity to get important and empowering information across, there’s been great value for me in the people that I’ve met at each of these. I always leave an event knowing far more than I did when I arrived. A big thanks to everyone who came along to any of these, and to all the organisers involved.

From January I’ll be knuckling down to write my next book, ‘Musical Truth 2’!  This will certainly occupy me for the whole year. I’ll be severely limiting my talks and radio show appearances during this time with a view to getting the book on the streets in early 2018, therefore. Then it starts all over again!
