 Tlo what's poppin? We are on kick We are not live, but you leave a like comment subscribe turning your post notification bells Let's continue to grow the family from Chicago to the UK If we do go live and you happen to miss it There's were any highlights and things of that nature will be this channel above me Don't forget. We do got the patreon. We just started watching Sherlock We got two more slots opening up that we're voting on currently Yeah, it's a vibe over here, man. Don't forget on kick, man We're gonna start watching things that we don't watch on YouTube. We can't but we don't put them on patreon So it's kind of that in-between thing for everybody to catch something that they want to watch like Phoenix nights It can go on YouTube, but we're gonna watch it on kick because it takes seven days to upload to YouTube after I've published it We're watching currently moaning of life on kick But Nordam's gonna be on kick the rest of Benadorm And a lot of the show fuck phone jackers a Lot of those shows that y'all be requesting that can't go on YouTube, but I don't want to put them on patreon so That's that's that's the goal for kick. That's the whole play for kicks But it's only exclusively on kick once it's watched it's gone. Don't forget. We got the discord as well, man This is Makina a boiler room and British council documentary So three years ago. I don't know what this is about. I'm curious though Somebody requested a little long time ago. I'm finally getting around to it During the mid 90s DJ's from the north-east of England discovered a Spanish John Rock called Makina Now for the past 25 years we've been pushing this John around we've been making it our own Undiluted and it hasn't been touched on the outside Now this is a sound of our childhood There's a sounding here in the park on a Friday and Saturday night teenagers around the phone The sound you have blasting out of a council state every day of the week now every council state the north-east is different Everyone is different. Most will don't like each other, but there's one thing that brings work together This is our folk song. This is what we do. You've heard of hardcore You've heard about you've heard of drum and bass, but you're in the north-east We have Makina and let me tell you it's fucking mental 100% never heard of it. I've never heard of this Unless you've been in the ring you can't explain it It's a place where you can get a serious professional solicitor You can go to soldier you can get someone out a single parent, but why is it all together my place is all the same It is basically a community thing when you're there. That is your time. It's like this is me You can be yourself Even though it's been frowned upon as a scene as a bad place and where Chauva's growing different things I've definitely been to a few ravers in my life My lifetime a lot of positive not gonna hold you they pretty lit they've come out of it We've got nothing else to me Makina's happiness I've never heard of Makina The insides like typical rave music to me Like techno these lamp posts which you kind of get the covers off They used to have an olden day style lamp also was one either side of here They had the cover on that you could kick off the front and if you take out the fuse Take off a plug attach it put the fuse back in put it on power instant power late 90s early 2000s Standing right now right now during the holidays all you would hear a woman doing here turbo deep from there Yes, he had tassel from over there. There'd be some sort of tune playing I mean, I live just over there and what I would do is I would hand out me cordless microphone I'd pass it out me window. I pass it me friends and have the way on the house My mom couldn't kick off had anyone in and they'd just be like a big crowd of them now whether it's all history, isn't it? it's I'm seeing myself have 20-year veteran of going to rears myself and I was here to know if you since Mickey not so I was will over at what point Do you retire though? You're a 20-year veteran. It's time to give it up You know I'm saying like what do you what like what like in my opinion? Maybe a ravers you could raid for life. I've seen lifers ravers like a vice documentary It's called ravers for life or something like that, but like come on What have a kid or something The North East of England has long been a area of economic disadvantage You know traditionally we're built up around some like large industrial towns a lot of mining villages And over the years as those industries have gone as the mines have gone as the ships have gone There's been massive periods of unemployment and a lot of economic challenges have met like you know everybody But particularly the young people growing up being has been a sense of hopelessness at times The McKenna culture has risen from the areas of the highest levels of deprivation in certain parts They're literally is nothing you know you go into some of these estates You know the shops have moved out. There's nothing there when you've got that kind of backdrop you really kind of reminds me The west side of Chicago not gonna lie to you Realize how much we need each other Like this matter of fact most of the ravers I went to were Westside things Stuff's really weird. This is like Spanish techno stuff It was the music we grew up with like all of a sudden these tapes were in the schools I was just like wow, what's this? He had the Italian scene then Euro dance techno and happy hardcore and then DJ Scotland of Spain He came back with a load of Spanish records and that's when the McKenna stuff come through McKenna got its roots in Euro dance Italian and later on Spanish trance By the start of the 90s out of subculture Dancing that we're pushing a much harder edge much more Euro inspired style of music clubs like the blue monkey See me like I would have never guessed that this was actually a genre of a Spanish like I just would have thought I would have grouped it in with everything else But this is good knowledge, you know saying I'd be taking in knowledge all the time Now I'm gonna be able to differentiate. Oh, no, that's McKenna You're kidding me. He led the new monkey the venue the Coliseum Once the MCs stepped in on that you suddenly had something very special something unique Something that was really just for the Northeast I love bounce I like hardcore as well, but McKenna is where my heart is always will be You know, there's no better feeling like nobody one of your tracks comes on you say people go crazy It's just uplifting feeling isn't it? I've been in bad places before W DJs though man DJs can be DJs for the entirety of their lives as long as they like Like the last two DJs got DJ D this guy they look like nice cribs Seems like they got other things going on. They got motion. They got money I had depression that in the past in that feeling down that that's why all my music is like not saying that you need any of that to be successful. I'm just saying like They didn't lose the plot is what I'm saying uplifting everyone calls this cheesy No, it is in life. You've got to think of the positive. There's no point going on the negative It's a part of like when you grow up. It doesn't matter if you like it or not You've always got friends who like it and who play it around you Hey, W Kid. It's definitely part of the identity I take a hobby some people like boxing some people like Jim it's my sport if you ask me, you know what I mean If I was to go and punch that bag now far from now I will put me Wavon. If I was to go and sit upstairs I will put me Wavon. If I was going on a bike ride I put me Wavon. It's a wave life at the end That's the simplest simple guess Right drop that shit I'm no curry yeah, but I know how to deliver. I said I better bring it to you Oh, there's bars. I'm no curry yeah, but I don't know how to live out the liver That's tough. It won't make you shiver. I'm no curry yeah, but I know how to deliver. I said I better bring it to you It will make you shiver It's gonna make you move. What are they doing? Just practicing? The core music a project's approach is really about using arts and culture music primarily as a way of helping to nurture a young person You can be a way to build up your confidence your resilience You can be a way to overcome barriers and it's been fantastic for me in particular to see the impact that Makinis actually had on challenging people's perceptions, you know And when you to look at the inspiration that the emcees and the DJs were taking from in the Northeast of England Really, this is all stemming from you know, a very strong gay scene in Spain DJs who are drag queens big anthems that were all about equal rights and So this kind of point of contact between the music was established And then all of a sudden you had the DJs like Danny Fiesta likes cadero Coming across from Spain playing the clubs in the Northeast and with the biggest bunch of Raj Chavez you'll ever meet and they were loving it and they were just open arms They're there for one thing and one thing only the music and the atmosphere and it doesn't matter where you straight gay black white Whatever it's an acceptance And Makinia were all real honest people when you go to a rave no one cares who you are what you're wearing Away, you're from you said joyous. I like go and just stand there and just dance now That's the fact one thing about raves is they don't see no color. No, no, no, nothing you just in there having a great time Probably geeking off the class A's to you know, Sam, but that's neither here nor there. I don't condone it. I'm just saying It's just a release it somewhere that let your mind go to it helps people get through life in general It is like therapy of released everything in that room and you can never lack Some things I see in the lyrics and in the music I would struggle to speak about like face-to-face with people and that's what I encourage other people today like especially young emcees Who's like maybe feel alone sitting in the tunes on the room, you know, I mean and then they put the music on He has somebody who they look up to singing stuff that they're going through at the same time and now that's gonna be alright I Music in general be saving people's lives man. They'd be taking them up the street Taking them off a path of destruction. So I salute anything musically You What if emcee grinder did this type of This type of emcee and he did garage But what if he just like branched in it is that would have been dope man. I could see him doing this He's an elite emcee You when you start off you don't think I'm in a bit of top Obviously, you know, I mean you just write rhymes because I sound good the catchy and it's your twist on like what an emcee can do and Then most of the time them rhymes you make in the early days and it becoming your most well-known ones because they're just Thought within five minutes and they're just the sound good You know, I mean, but I see as you progress and people start listening you start I think well, I'm a bit of an influence now So I need to start saying more like deep and meaningful things You know, I don't want to be telling people to take drugs and all that and pinched cause like some people do not emcee stretch The chronicle done a article on a few weeks ago because he's got this like this rain It's like But it's about his em his mom died from cancer and He's been seeing this loads about 17 years it's possibly the most iconic lyric when it gets said the whole dance horse dance or tension and screams it back I Think I was more 22ish and my mom said poor I'm I'm gonna die. They've given us 12 months My mom was me well basically and knowing you were gonna lose that it's here. I can't I didn't want to be here. I Ran upstairs and did the first thing and the only thing I knew Let feelings out that was with music So I put on the rock by DJ Scott and I just sat and cried my eyes out and that fell out my head in about 20 minutes And I remember screaming the lyric line by line Rain lyrics is powerful, you know and standing that stage is It's it's everything. It's it's a release and if you don't release it, you just go mad We lost a good friend, you know, I'm saying mental health period Figure out a way to release that Don't bottle nothing up man. Don't do what your parents and your parents parents taught you because that's He's not good for you Go ahead find a way to express yourself that doesn't harm others and get it done And if I was Last year we lost them and we just carried on what they love to do best emcee It was like a big shock that everyone sought to come together was our way of grieving for it Grown up around it in the air and other people put their life problems in the lyrics We've started doing the same thing losing Taylor everyone made the lyric about that I Mean a lot of More than just me and Dean like every single person that knew Taylor I know our lyrics as well now and Everyone gets that lump in the throat when they are there like I get a shiver down the spine when I am emcee if you can see past young people having a drink and having a good time and Just think they're just causing trouble Drinking underage and that if you can see past all that then you'll see Why we do you this is for us like special reason not just for any death reason He got the kitchen looking like a trap house with DJ equipment. Where do y'all eat? He's saying some deep lyrics though. I've never really listened to any lyrics that are like At a rave. It's only the beat for me But I ain't really that's sad to say that I really never realized what they was talking about I shot my you will find that being different it's just fine like me see me I in the corner when I'm high It's what I made the guy is a baseline. Come on five four There's one thing that resonates with me how shitty people really be how up I suffer up I see nobody There's no society life on the table now you walk it under the breath to love a spoken see the trap It's meant for the glory don't know this homeless story. It's about business can't decide it in his head There isn't no hiding you'll be invited. I'm not gonna lie. He's gone crazy These lyrics hard he riding hell out this beat low-key pause What defines folk music is this idea of well, how do we get into folk music in oral tradition of some that's handed down From generation to generation Some that represents the area something that tells the tales of those people of that time of that place What you've got really with their Makina MC's they're pouring the hearts out. It's music about their lives It's a music about where they've grown up challenges that they faced losing loved ones Run ins with the law. It's all that it's kind of their stories their lives Well, I honestly can see myself listening to Makina music. I Just like the story behind it. I like what the MCs are talking about. It's not no BS. It's not just You know I'm saying it's deeper than what it surface level. You know I'm saying I like it People have listened they put generations has came through three or four generations now And it's not gonna stop it wherever it is. It's gonna keep going It's the culture it's the feeling it's the memories on the lyrics and like all that's created from when I was 14 And like me mate who was dying and stuff people you've met the memories of the drinking in the park the music It's just a combination of it all and that's what that's when if you ask what Makina is to me That's what it is. It's not just the music. It's the whole thing It'll never be Like it is anywhere else to what it is here. You know, it's crazy like Like if you actually sit down and listen to the lyrics And then some of the stigmatism stigmatism is attached to it it makes sense The lyrics are MCs going through some deep stuff. They really talking about some deep stuff So the people that connect with it is probably going through some deep stuff and fighting a battles with Things that are you know, you know what things they fight in a battle with It's tough. It's more of a tradition here You get to a certain age and think well, I shouldn't really be gone to them But then you can't help yourself You literally can't help yourself from going it like I didn't think I'd ever go back to DJing in the scene and I was just like I Missed it. I missed like that set of people that crowd the same me mates Like sometimes that might be in the only place you would say them It brings people from all over like this people from the top of the north east of the bottom to Scotland T side Yorkshire all the people come together and the music unites them. It just shows what The essence of rave is it's about love, you know what I mean? And it's just about being yourself and accepting yourself and accepting other people for who they are One of the oldest rivers are now is right there Alan Den dodgy dinner I used to get that Coliseum in the after dark But out then this is the thing. It's you know, it's with Makina or Raven general It's that you've got dinner. You've got me. You've got different age groups of people walking together. We'll have a good time. It's It's family love Makina's love I said what I had to say about Taylor leave a like and subscribe turn on your post up down
