Quick one from me, a belated song of the week, The Prophecy by Beskar featuring Huntr/s. A debut single on RAM Records from Scottish music producer Beskar, named after the Mandalorian steel from the Star Wars universe; if this is the way I love it! Gorgeously dreamy, reach for the stars, rolling drum n bass style with flavours of classics from yore such as LTJ Bukem, Guy Called Gerald and Goldie.…..
It comes as a double A with a track called Path I Can’t Follow, both of which features the vocals of Huntr/s, and therein is our local connection. This Huntress is Chrissy Chapman from Devizes, who you may have caught last weekend singing with Tom Harris at the Sustainable Fair in the Market Place, unless, like me the lazy sausage, you drifted up that bit too late!
Now I’ve heard both these euphoric tracks I’m even more gutted to have missed them; Chrissy, the vocals in drum n bass really maketh the ambience of the tune, otherwise it would be just a series of breaks and beats, and though said breaks and beats are sublimely aligned here, it is the icing on a deluxe cake!
Chrissy worked for a record label during 2021 run by the once frontman of Foreign Beggers, PAV4N. “This led to meeting artists and then doing a live stream charity event,” she told us, “some of them watched and put me in touch with Beskar.”
Mandalorian armour wouldn’t stop me from dancing to this! Well done, Huntress, keep shining the light, and Beskar too of course, tune!
