Free party mystic Mycal has been a wondering psychedelic soothsayer since hearing the call of the rigs and taking to the fields in the early 90s rave scene. Spreading his message of acceptance by living a life dedicated to the hippy ideals of love and freedom from the hectic often oppressing constrictions many experience as modern life. Recently discovered by dub producer extraordinaire Youth in a studio below an old squat in Old Street, the two have conspired to bring a message of hope and positivity through their shared love of dub and dance music. The most recent fruit from this collaboration ‘Take Your Time’ is an optimistic anthem filled with dubby goodness and conscious lyrics, guaranteed to lift the heart and move the hips.
lyrics
Take your time and look around I say, and look at the way they treat you today. Now live your life and love and now let be, and live this life for liberty. Now take your time and look around I say, and look at the way they treat you today. Now live your life and love and now let be, and live this life for you and me.
People are strange let’s turn them around.
It’s time for us to find a common ground.
Some find it hard now to relate, others find it hard to translate. There’s no need to tell you so, your eyes tell me all I need to know.
Stop banging your head up off the wall,
Pick up the pieces answer the call.
People have a come and people have a go.
Living with this feeling just don’t know.
How you going to feel and what you going to say.
Living with this feeling day by day
Come now people do you overstand
In what we are seeking is the son of man.
What you gonna do and how you gonna feel.
Sharing in this love and knowing its real.
Whats going on really blows my mind, billions of people doing time.
One percent of the population running free,
dont care for you don’t care for me.
It’s time for us now to let go, sharing in this love of ebony flow. I’ve learnt all that I need to know positive vibrations need to flow.

Capable hands guide one through a melodic landscape, yes even on repeat, the soundscape becomes only more profound, the unexpected now part of a deeper rhythm, the high scale embellishments become more integral, the whole is simply transporting. Greg Hunter explores, understands and communicates the musical wavelength. Joy.results. freewheelindave
