“422ppm” by See How: A Deep Garage Wake-Up Call on Climate Crisis:
London producer See How presents a powerful and timely mission with the deep garage single "422ppm" with spoken word from activist and writer Chantelle Lunt. The track is not just for the dancefloor; it has environmental urgency, blending art and activism in a manner that feels emotionally earnest whilst also being sonically agreeable.
422ppm has been built on a deeply entrenched structure of rich percussion which creates atmospheric textures resembling the sonic DNA of Jamie xx and Overmono, but has its depth and spiritual weight. In the middle of the track, Lunt's spoken word is an extract from her poem "Pass The Mic" Catapulting the track into the environmental and real world climate crisis, this goes to work and tackles the listener with harder truths regarding colonial legacy, environmental harm, and the systematic suppression and silencing of marginalised voices.
The title itself, 422ppm, references the concentration of CO₂ that is currently present in our atmosphere, which is rising quickly and poses risks to the balance of life here on Earth. In this merging of political poetry and deep garage production, See How has produced something more than a rich listening experience; they've created something with immense cultural value.
422ppm is more than a song; it's a protest, a call to awareness, and a reminder that we are equal participants in this story. We are custodians.
