The Sound of Freedom is Mark Devlin’s regular showcase of conscious music. Its content stands as the very antithesis of the dumbed-down, spirit-crushing output of the corporate industry, instead giving airtime to meaningful message-music, from free-spirited and wildly creative artists. Besides offerings from the hip-hop, reggae and soulful groove genres, each show includes the Truth Trip – songs from decades past whose lyrics remain as potent today as on the day they were first written. Pupils could create their own “musical truths”– projects that combine music to define their place and space in the world, and words to capture their voice in society. You can also still join BIPC events and webinars and access one-to-one support. See what's available at the British Library in St Pancras or online and in person via BIPCs in libraries across London. The manipulations run so deep, however, that the full story couldn’t be told in just that first book. Here, in Volume 2, he continues to guide readers through the dark labyrinth of machinations.

It must be wonderful for those kids in East Yorkshire who have Jeffrey Boakye as a teacher. That comes across very clearly in this book - Boakye is a teacher, through and through. He simplifies but never talks down. He has a way of talking about a subject so passionately that you suddenly feel passionate about it too. That's a real skill, and Boakye has managed to capture it on paper with this book. A crime thriller set during a time of great cultural change, (the last days of Thatcherism, the Poll Tax riots, the fall of Communism, the first Gulf War, Acid House and Rave culture,) gets taken to uncharted territories through allegory and metaphor, and the narrative’s interplay with spiritual teachings. As such, The Cause & The Cure can be read on many different levels, according to the reader’s own consciousness. Boakye is a special talent and Musical Truth is a special book… [it] deserves to be read widely.’ Books for Keeps This is a full archive of all my radio and podcast interviews on truth/ conspiracy/ consciousness subjects from 2012 onwards. Most are long-format chats of one or two hours. The shows from 2015 onwards focus on subjects covered in Volumes 1 and 2 of my book Musical Truth. Topher Field, creator of the documentary ‘Official Battleground Melbourne’ also does a great job on the current affairs show The Aussie Wire, and had me on to talk about my Australian speaking tour and other matters.

The Sound of Now

Musical Truth Volume 3’ completes club and radio DJ-turned author/ researcher Mark Devlin’s trilogy of books exposing the REAL nature of the corporate music industry and those that populate it.

Sonny’s Lettah by Linton Kwesi Johnson could be used in a range of lessons – from literacy in KS3, KS4 poetry studies or PSHE. The text could be used as an interesting and more extreme counterpoint to Telephone Conversation by Wole Soyinka – written a generation earlier; which might further inspire pupils to think about they would express their own experiences in the 2020s. Each chapter is about a song and it's historical context. Spanning multiple genres, from ragtime, calypso to grime. The book is almost like a dj set as he gives hints of upcoming songs in following chapters similar to a dj giving you a snippet of what’s to come but in this case with words. Each mention igniting excitement in the reader if they are familiar with the song. We can’t really complain about things like ‘Of Mice and Men’ being read in schools with teachers/students being given a pass to say the n word if we’re going to introduce books like this into schools and continue to perpetuate these oppressive narratives.I have always known music is a great tool to bring people of different communities together and the author Jeffrey Boakye articulates this perfectly.

Musical Truth is a unique book that could help today’s pupils engage with not just the music of their parents and grandparents, but their histories, experiences and stories. Not only that but there’s an opportunity for pupils to explain their own music as part of a connected and wider social narrative. This volume focuses on the way the entertainment industry’s owned assets were used to help push the official narrative of the “Co(n)vid 19” Scamdemic, (which has been rightly described as “The Greatest Scam Ever Perpetrated Upon Mankind.”) So many beloved musicians showed their true colours in helping to push the lies and bad science which paved the way for the tyranny and human enslavement that was always planned to be applied in its wake.In his groundbreaking book Musical Truth, DJ-turned author/ researcher Mark Devlin showed how the true nature of the corporate music industry tells a very different story to what’s conveyed on its glossy, glamorous surface. Imagine you are a psychopath for a minute (for one out of ten of us, no imagination is needed). Now imagine you have a lifestyle beyond wealth and recognizable luxury. You live in a reality where you have access to technology and information that very few are privy to. You are truly special among billions. You pay servants (corporate CEOs, Managers, etc...) of all sorts to carry out all of your directives (money is irrelevant to you because you have the power to create money). Alongside your servants you have real slaves that you like having around just because you can; and sometimes you use them for sex or simply torture them to death because those things thrill you. Of course, many of them are children. Now imagine you have some friends that are entitled to the same lustrous and perverted world as you. Over time, you guys begin to feel truly different from normal humans. In fact, you create your own private religion based on materialism, carnal desire and a truly twisted sense of spirituality. You call it Luciferarianism. You praise darkness because you and your ilk, in a sense, exist in darkness. After all, among the hordes, very few even know you exist. Over time, you and your friends begin to cultivate a level of paranoia that you believe is healthy; it keeps you on your toes, looking out for any of the minions that might be getting wise to you and your gang and your disturbing reality - the reality you love. Your paranoia grows. Despite your efforts, more and more from the unwashed mass are figuring out your game.
