Darko the Super - The Meeting Place
What’s up duderino? This is Darko The Super. Welcome 2 “The Meeting Place”, my new concept album hosted by actor Biff Wiff (from “I Think You Should Leave”, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, etc.).
Each song on “The Meeting Place” pays homage to something I love. “Billionaire Space Race” is my version of Gil Scott Heron’s “Whitey on the Moon”. I covered Frank Zappa’s “Bobby Brown Goes Down”. I repurposed “Jockin’ Jay Z”, into “Jockin’ Jay Dee”, to pay homage to the greatest producer of all time J Dilla. I expounded on “Bring” by The Spits and spun it into a story (I’ve done this previously with their song “Suzy’s Face” on my album “The Devil Defeated” with Steel Tipped Dove). I remade a classic K.M.D. beat sampling “Pieces of a Man”. I took Sherryl Lee’s poem that she wrote to her character Laura Palmer and flipped it into me portraying my alias. I did my own version of Kool Keith’s “I Don’t Believe You”. My favorite song on the album is my ode to Biz Markie called “I Need a Haircut Too” in which I remade the beat for “Alone Again”. I even took a hook from Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” for “Hey Ladies”. Then to wrap things up, I shout out every artist reimagined on the album in the tune of Ultramagnetic MC’s “Checking My Style”.
This album is my way of expressing how we’re all connected through our favorite things. Especially entertainment. It’s what progresses conversations, builds relationships, and usually tells a lot about a person. The common ground we find as human beings looking to communicate who we are and how we feel is “The Meeting Place”. Oh, and it’s also the title of an amazing XTC song.
