GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 65: LONG LASTIN', ROUND 3/ ILLUMI NATION



No stranger to Good Vibrations, conscious music producer and spiritual activist Kit Glover, aka Long Lastin', is back to mark the launch of his long-awaited album 'Illumi Nation', released through his own recently-formed Illumination Studios set-up. 

It's a concept album, taking vocal samples relating to all manner of subjects from the truth/ consciousness/ conspiracy fields, and setting them to new, original beats. The result, he explains, is designed to convey vital information in convenient, easily-digestible form, to those new to the subjects, as well as those more well-versed who would benefit from a recap. We discuss his process of choosing subject areas to focus on, and spent some time reflecting on the overall properties of sound vibration, and its ability to affect the brain-wave states and emotions of the listener depending on the frequencies involved. The podcast also features a handful of the key tracks.

The album can be purchased directly from this link:

THE SWING SHiFT, GALAXY 101, 16/8/96


Another episode of my Swing Shift show on Galaxy 101 from 1996, the last year of half-decent soul/ swing/ hip-hop before the rot set in!  The start of part 2 features an exclusive freestyle live in the studio from London hip-hop legends Blak Twang.

MD TO SPEAK AT THE OPEN MIND CONFERENCE IN COPENHAGEN, SEPTEMBER 2015





Happy to be able to announce that I'll be one of the featured speakers at the Open Mind Conference taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark, over the weekend of 19th/ 20th September, alongside the likes of Ken O' Keefe, Ole Dammegard, Frank Rasmussen, Johan Oldenkamp, Lone Vitus and Judyth Vary Baker, founder of the JFK Assassination Conference and a former girlfriend of Lee Harvey Oswald!

My two-hour talk on the Saturday afternoon will be titled 'Free Will, Consent and the Corporate Music Industry', and will be an overhauled version of my usual presentation about the true nature of the entertainment business, bringing in the eternal concepts of free will consciousness, contracting and tacit approval, and showing how they all fit together. There's then a discussion panel with all the speakers to round things off on the Sunday evening. Sounds like another great gathering of awakened minds, and another opportunity to shine some light into the darkness of this world! Tickets are available now on this web link. Get there if you can!
