On April 10, RVNG Intl. will release a new installment of FRKWYS, the label’s 12-inch series that, in its own words, “pairs contemporary artists and their progenitors by way of remix, reinterpretation, and original collaboration” (and, in my words, “combines new artists and their forbears through remix, reinterpretation, and original collaboration”). The ninth installment features Sun Araw (Cameron Stallones) and his Duppy Gun Productions partner-in-crime, M. Geddes Gengras, taking it back to The Congos. The collaboration results in both a 12-inch, titled ICON GIVE THANK, and a film, ICON EYE. THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING. Check out “Happy Song” below and head to RVNG Intl. to see the film’s trailer.
