Moka Only – Martian XMAS 2015 [album]
Greetings! I’m Kareem Serene, otherwise known as, your Moka Only. I’m still in this with the Martian. Can’t believe I’ve been doing this annually since 2004! Speaking of those earlier times, we at URBNET are finally releasing Martian XMAS 2005, since it never saw the light of day back then—but that’s another story! For this year’s edition, I went hard. I recorded many many new tracks from late October right up until the first week of December. Hence, we are a bit behind schedule. Had invited some guests for this project, mainly Jon Rogers, from Torchlight Commission, but encountered some technical difficulties that prevented his appearance. Best believe we’ve got more music coming soon together. Torchlight Commission is the crew! Shouts to A-ro, Illa-J, Potatohead People, Mr. Brady, Lmno, Jeff Spec, Ishkan, Midflite, Eli Muro, Nomad, JuneTen, and Tanya Morgan. More Commission stuff on the way, universe willing. I hope you love the vibes on this album. I definitely felt I was in throwback mode daydreaming of my time in the early 90s as well as the early 2000s. The places we travelled physically and spiritually always resurface and shape our present and future. I’ve really enjoyed having you torcharoons along for the ride and can’t thank you enough for the support. Rodway and URBNET: you guys have had my back since Vermillion in 2005, and I am really grateful for you giving me the creative control and sticking with me even through the low times. I hope everybody has a blessed winter, stays warm and keeps industrious at whatever pursuit they are involved in… and remember: don’t take this album out of rotation once December is done. This series was always intended for the whole duration of the winter and beyond. Lookout in the near future for the unreleased NOWFOLK album “Magnesium Opium with Ishkanâ€. That will be a real treat. Merry Martian Xmas to you all, and a Happy New Year!! I’m still coming on the world… and it feels good. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. #93
