8-9 pm
1/. Jon Ayat - Arrakis - Salon Oriental - Inca
A new compilation for those downtempo heads who want a taste of the Orient in their soup!
2/. TransGlobal Underground - Monter Au Ciel - International Times - Nation
TGU caught in a fine moment with Natacha doing it as only she can!
3/. Oojami - Sitare - Bellydancing Breakbeats - Mondo
A kind of twisted take on breakbeats and the Orient with some stellar moments
4/. Karmix - Kuan Ganjo - Salon Oriental - Inca
5/. Momo & Christian Goze - Sirocco - Arabesque - Momo
6/. Black Star Liner - Inverse - Yemen Cutta Connection - EXP
I first found Black Star through Freezone and they are still in my music bag.
7/. Bob Holroyd - Passing Through - A Different Space - Six Degrees
One of my fave drumming albums from Holroyd who is a really fine technician/producer
8/. MIDIval PunditZ - Aaja re' - Asian Travels 2 - Six Degrees
Drum & Bass from New Delhi inspired by Talvin Singh! Bob Duskis hits again, thanks mate!
9/. Force of Angels - Dune - East-Westercism - La-Ange
More Drum & Bass connected in the East, a wondrous track but the whole set is truly fine!
10/. Karmix - Neon - Salon Oriental - Inca
Another lovely piece, floating Arabic vocals over solid downtempo beats
9-10 pm
1/. Ansuman Biswas - Shift - Vedic presents Rhythmic Intelligence - Sub Rosa
track from an album that is not Asia Lite, worth the effort of finding and getting into!
2/. Talvin Singh feat Amar - Jaan - Anokha/Soundz of the Asian Underground - Mango
Classic with amazing vocal track from Amar, the defined Asian Drum'nBass track, stunning.
3/. Makyo - Erzulie({Phantom Remix) - Sky Dancing Nada Masala 2 - Dakini
The real tribal/ambient/world mixmaster for me, dreamy and danceable all at the same time.
4/. Nitin Sawhney - Homelands - Chillout Sampler - Outcaste
Breathtaking sampling and editing, state of the art in many respects
5/. Outside - Red Earth - Asian Travels 2 - Six Degrees
Another nice example of the Asian drum and bass connection
6/. Aalfa - Rave Vox - Salon Oriental - Inca
7/. Maurice el Medioni - Laissez Moi Me Griser - Salon Oriental - Inca
8/. Joi - India - Flying Carpet - Chall'O Music
Finishing with a trancey twist.
