There is legend and there is DIMITRI. DIMITRI is more than legend. He is the unsung philosopher reflecting on the ways and byways of today so, when his latest release Regeneration Breeds Regeneration & The Oldest Buildings in the World hit the streets, I knew it was time to worship once more.
You would not think that some old school synthesiser loops would be enough in a time when sequenced digital perfection is all around us but the DIMITRI way is to use only what time itself would use to accompany his words of existential wisdom on the oppression that comes with modern day architecture and he, for it the DIMITRI, duly ponders the destruction of the past by bulldozers bought and paid for by the false gods of our beloved financial institutions. DIMITRI, however, knows the truth is to be found everywhere but where you expect it and his laconic rap – if rap could ever be the work of a god – makes it all seem like the dream you keep having but can never remember.
There is, after all, deeper meaning in the words of DIMITRI if your mind can expand to fit them all in.
Two songs are all you need when you have a message for all humanity. I worship DIMITRI. You should too.
