SOPHIE is my favourite new artist

Departures
ill.Gates “Departures” out now! Please share to support. Between the release of this beautiful 16 track double LP, seeing a picture of our baby for the first time and hearing its heartbeat, today has been pretty special.
Wasteland Warriors
Dylan and KJ busted ass all week preparing for their live set at Lost Lands while still making time to look fit af. Let’s hear it for ill.Gates and KJ Sawka, two of the hottest happiest handsomest hardest working players in the game.
GOAT
I’m crushing a bit hard on Konshens, Popcaan and Busy Signal too, fucking swoon. Romantic dancehall is good music to work out to. That said, Aphex Twin might be my favourite musical artist, still after all these years, besides of course Dylan. ill.Gates is the nicest and the greatest.
Angel Speak
Always stand up for what matters, regardless of what side you’re supposed to be on. Speak the truth, even when your voice is faint. Do what’s right, even when it hurts.

Cthulhu
Dylan had a Jamaican American friend come do vocals for this track and I could hear him doing takes through the wall. “CTHULHU,” the Jamaican American said in a drawn out low heavily ominous tone that was thug as fuck. Then he said, “Like that? Was that good? Is that how you want it?” in a melodious inquiring voice like a highly congenial airline stewardess. I was in the next room silently cracking up. Today “Cthulhu” by ill.Gates is released and it is straight fire. Filthy like a motherfucker. Rising from the deep! Get it here → soundcloud.com/ill-gates

Remember that all the darkness in the world can’t put out the light of a single candle. Spread your light and spread your love. This is how every one of us can help to heal our world.

Soulmates
“People think a soulmate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants, but it isn’t true. A true soulmate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soulmate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. Soulmates reveal another layer of yourself to you. Their purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego, show you your obstacles and addictions. Soulmates make you transform. They break your heart open so new light can get in.” EG

Alone With You At Last
Not one of us is all good or all bad, this is something we don’t always like to admit or recognize. No one person or group of persons is entirely praiseworthy or entirely at fault. We are responsible for ourselves, but we are also responsible for each other. Competition and altruism are not mutually exclusive. Neither are failure and success, hatred and love, darkness and light, wrong and right, ending and beginning, myself and you. Each of us fails as individuals when the human race fails to love itself completely. We really are in this together, whether we like it or not. Everything is a choice between fear and love, and death is coming. Fear or love, my friends, at every moment, you must decide. Death is coming, so choose love.

The midnight stars above Hawaii are second to nothing. In the midst of darkness, light persists. The sound of the midnight ocean, the black slow crash of waves can break the heart. It’s not the strongest or the fittest that survive, it’s those that can best manage to change. Life is beautiful and love is everything. All of nature is music.
