Welcome back-(Prince week Part 1)

So it’s been awhile.

The basilika update wasn’t meant to take quite so long, but sometimes you’ve got to leave things for time to give you a chance to realize their worth. Basilika started as a blog to accompany a night-three dudes playing great music in a rubbish bar in Angel. But time moves on, things change and basilika seemed to lose it’s way a little, posting became less and less frequent and it became harder to see where things were headed and, more importantly, why we were going there in the first place.

So it took some time but we found the why again.

All this music we track down and hoard for ourselves, the secret unreleased tracks on nerdy obsessive forums, the music we cutup, edit and make our own.

This is where we share it with you.

We’ll try to keep it all as original as possible and not to get too precious with it.

(but you know how these things go)

Kicking things off-as London (and me) go mildly Prince crazy-is a week dedicated to rare and unreleased music from the minneapolis maestro. We’ll try to ignore all the devious ticket manipulations (and the last 8 albums) and concentrate on what makes the dude so worth all the praise in the first place. The music.

For me it’s a journey back to the place where I first got so passionate about music as well as the start (or re-start) of something brand new.

So thanks for coming back and we hope you enjoy the show.

    Welcome back, Jak! Looking forward to tucking into your Prince selections. It’s going to be a great week if this first one’s anything to go by. Will try and bang something up over on DC at some point this week in honour…
