PRESSED ON 'DUCK EGG' COLORED IMPORT VINYL

Spin it before you can stream it! 

Peace of Action is the latest release from artist Earl “Damu the Fudgemunk” Davis, and also, the newest installment of Def Pressé’s series of projects made in partnership with KPM (and associated music libraries).

With several titles in the series with notable names like Blockhead and Stro Elliot since its inception in 2021, Def Pressé Editions x KPM returned the artist that launched the line:  Washington D.C.’s Damu the Fudgemunk marked the beginning of the Def Pressé Editions x KPM Crate Diggers legacy with his critically acclaimed (as featured on NPR) Conversation Peace in late summer of 2021.  Three years later all original parties have teamed up to present album 2, Peace of Action. 

“It’s a pleasure to present Peace of Action.  So much excitement went into the initial venture to collaborate with KPM and become part of their history.  When I listen to the final album, I hear all the excitement and passion I had for the music.  Discovering things in their archive helped me discover and rediscover things about myself that I usually restrict in previous work.  It was fun to break some rules and still maintain some limitations especially after 20 plus years of creating music.  Being very pleased with the artistic and commercial success of my first Def Pressé x KPM album in 2021, I’m proud to expand the storyline with this particular energy and themes in 2024," says Damu.

Damu alluded to a part 2 in the liner notes of Conversation Peace and has kept his word.  Like it’s predecessor, Peace of Action features 9 all new tracks, however this album contains no guests or vocals and is fully instrumental.  With dozens of titles under his belt over the past 2 decades highlighting his musicality and a reputation built on beats, it may be of a surprise to many that this will be the Fudgemunk’s first official instrumental project in over 7 years.  Yes, 7 years is quite some time, but don’t confuse the decision to prioritize making music with vocals to any inactivity on his part. 

Check the catalog and you’ll see productions for MC’s like Raw Poetic and Blu account for lost time.  During the particular hiatus from making solely Hip Hop records in the conventional form, Damu has composed, produced and performed on some really exciting Jazz projects.  His work with Archie Shepp has met with great success and the album they made together, Ocean Bridges is often talked about years after release and heralded by people like Gilles Peterson. 

With Peace of Action there was a ton of room for new ideas and fresh experimentation which can be heard all over this Damu LP.  The signature is present where longtime listeners will easily pick out the fingerprints of his work.  On the other hand, the creative process that included traveling to London and digging through KPM’s archive in real time spawned the freedom to break away from what many may define as a “calling card” and musically show a different dimension in an alternate universe.  Artists at their core historically have created their best work under adventurous circumstances and that will be very evident in the listening experience of Damu the Fudgemunk’s “Peace of Action”.  Expect the unexpected.  The vast diversity of KPM’s library provided limitless range for the ears and mind of a seasoned veteran like Damu who considers storytelling a vital component of art.  On part one, Conversation Peace, it was a short film centered around engaging dialogue with a supporting score, and now part two, Peace of Action, is a silent film built around movements of the music where the director took great excitement in revealing a different side of the main character.  Each song represents a scene that paints a unique world of its own.  Even though the artist prefers to have the audience listen in full, a conscious decision was made to arrange music that didn’t have to rely on its counterparts to gain context.  In a market driven by singles and singular impressions, any entry point into this body of work provides access for immersion.  

Peace of Action makes a real statement from Damu.  This is a Jazz record, made with Hip Hop production techniques.  The source material is a love of the records that came before it.  Literally, digging into the Jazz catalogue at KPM, taking inspiration from the material, absorbing the imagination and talent of previous composers, and re-imaging it through a multifaceted lens.

“It certainly reflects the accelerated changes we’ve all experienced since we entered the 2020’s. I hope the music is able to take people’s imagination to different places.  I won’t give away too much detail into my personal messaging in each track because I prefer to leave that to the audience.  But, I will say that there’s a common theme of transformation throughout.  I’m sure there are a few people out there that’ll pick up on exactly where I’m going.  And that’s the beauty of being able to share art with the world," says Damu.

Insightful and Compassionate.
Format: Hardcover
I really love Nedra Glover Tawwab's work. I started with "Set Boundaries, Find Peace" and that opened the gateway to a broader and more helpful healing journey for me. This book, "Drama Fee" was just an evolutionary step in her series and a more in depth dealing with family relationships. The different perspectives for each chapter on how the concept can be applied was/is helpful as it often feels like books of this nature are only telling the black or white way to focus on a relationship. I felt seen and heard that though my familial relationships are unique there are commonalities and in turn ways to approach healing, reconciliation (with oneself and with family), understanding and compassion, to a achieve drama free relationships. As humans we are bread for connection and I appreciate Nedra Glover Tawwab's help in navigating them.

Being Our True Selves In Relationships That Matter
Format: Kindle
Nedra Glover Tawwab is a New York Times bestselling author, a licensed therapist, and a sought-after relationship expert. This book is a therapeutic and educational tool that addresses how to consciously change behaviors you’d rather not have in relationships, specifically, around your family. For those of us who have delved into the self-help book world, this is an in-depth, thorough refresher, focusing on family dynamics. Nedra’s core belief is that relationships contribute to mental health. They can cause you pain or they heal you. She focuses on taking your relationships seriously and teaches the art of having tough but intentional conversations to create positive change. OR you’ll learn how to sever ties when the relationship is unmanageable. None is more influential than the formative years we’ve had with our family of origin. A lot of people lament that not everything is about the family, but yup, so often it’s true. In childhood, most likely we weren’t allowed to be ourselves, so our true selves started to develop when becoming an adult. Like a butterfly using its colossal strength to break out of its chrysalis, we too must use our emotional colossal strength to break out of our childhood mold in order to fly. We are able to have relationships with family on our terms.

Read. This. Book.
Format: Kindle
Read this book if you have a dysfunctional family or relationship with family members (including in-laws and extended family). Read this book if you think you don’t. Nedra outlines several different types of familial relationships and how challenging it can be to work through dysfunction or things we have considered normal that are not. Nedra also provides wisdom and tools on how to overcome the many challenges that occur in relationships with family members with gentleness, understanding and realistic observations and advice. Please keep in mind that there will likely be much to unpack from both your childhood and adulthood. It can be an incredibly emotional process in which you might need to take breaks and pauses. However, it is a worthwhile endeavor that will allow you a new, healthier perspective on your relationships with others, and it will cause you to re-evaluate yourself and how you interact with others. This is necessary wisdom for cultivating peace and harmony in your life. I wish fellow readers an eye-opening and heartfelt journey. Be kind and gracious to yourself during this experience and best wishes in creating and living your most authentic life.
