Take It In Stride

PHILLIPIDON - TAKE IT IN STRIDE RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2016 This is Philippidon’s 4th single from Music4Life, the Austin- based record label. Take It In Stride reminds us that now is the time to act as we should, as stewards of our planet, even in the face of strong opposition; our duties being not only to take care of ourselves as human beings, but also the abundant animal and plant life sharing the Earth with us.

The song is released with two different mixes. One was done in Jamaica by the legendary Steven Stanley (JA Mix) who has mixed all three of Phillipidon’s singles so far released by Music4Life. The second mix was done in Munich, Germany by Umberto Echo (DE Mix) who also mixed the full 10-track Weirdo Riddim album project that will be released later.

PHILLIPIDON BIO: Philip White aka Phillipidon was born chanting in Kingston, Jamaica. He is known for his gravelly-gruff voice, interlacing a few iconoclastic interjections, and weaving wanton mayhem amongst audiences with his impromptu outbursts during live performances.

When he is not doing music, he is a college professor teaching anatomy, biology and physiology at Houston Community College. Follow him on Twitter & Instagram @Phillipidon WEIRDO RIDDIM: The musical bed for this song is The Weirdo Riddim, which began as a loop from John Patterson in Kauai, Hawaii.

John and RJ connected around 1987 after RJ placed an ad in the local Austin Chronicle looking for like-minded musicians to collaborate with. RJ took The Weirdo Riddim, remixed it and began voicing artists on it. This single is the first release from the 11-track Weirdo Riddim that will be released later.

The album features artistes from the Caribbean and Austin’s vibrant reggae scene which RJ is an active member of. MUSIC4LIFE: is run by Austin radio DJ and producer, DJ-RJ. His bi-weekly radio program, Reggae Evolution with DJ-RJ, has been on the air on KAZI 88.7 FM since 1989.
