🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. We moving y'all. 👽👽👽👽. #Repost @961wefm ・・・ Within hours of its release at midnight, Bunji Garlin’s declaration to “Take over Town” earned international credits as the kind of song that you would never get tired of. If you have hungered for a follow up to Garlin’s smash hit Differentology, (2013) then it is here. The two-year wait was certainly not in vain. "The percussive anthem sits in an invigorating yet soothing sweet spot between groovy soca, Afrobeats and tribal house, all of these yet none of these at the same time. Apropos of its cover, which depicts Bunji in a spacesuit, let’s just call it #SpaceSoca,” UK based website Largeup.com reported on Thursday morning. The seed was germinated on Garlin’s iPad, one morning a year ago, as he sat in his car waiting for his wife Fay-Ann to complete the UWI Marathon. But it was the hair-raising producer Stadic (Kevin Charles) who brought it to life. "I started building it, using the Garage Band App,” Garlin told TTRN on Thursday afternoon. "The idea started coming together and the plan was to attack everything lyrical and compact, to make chords standout out so I can spread around the words,” he said. "I just wanted a balance where you heard the words and music rather than have one overpower the next. And then more recently I was in studio with Stadic who produced "Raze" (for Fay) and I asked him to bring it to life. What he sent back was totally different to what I did, thankfully so." "So, I went back in and it fit in my head as I was playing around with ideas. I am into SciFi and while looking at some movies the whole concept started coming together about visitors from another place and that’s where SpaceSoca came about." "I am already labeled the Harbinger of sound...someone who comes forth as a rep of a new sound coming, so I fit the whole thing like a movie - coming from a different planet to bring a new wave and dimension in sound." "Based on the reaction I have been getting since the release, I can say that I am grateful for the moment, and this is a catalyst of what is to come for carnival. There’s a lot in store,” Garlin ended.
