Nice Nusrat Khan videos! One of my favorite electronic dj's, Bonobo, aka Simon Green from the UK, did a few songs with a Gnawa band and made a video recently. The music is quite hypnotic as you would expect. The video is an absolute tribute to the Koyaanisqatsi movie series that Philip Glass started making back in the early 80's. So if this video fascinates you, check out the Koyaanisqatsi movies by Philip Glass.

I've been thinking of posting this for sometime as I find old school hip-hop and old school Hindi oils go quite nicely together.
It's one of my favourites, Talking All That Jazz by Stetsasonic.

I love it, OG acid jazz before anyone else was even doing it. I missed this late 80's era, I was down the Garcia rabbit hole by this point. Here is one of my fav jams from my dance club 808 drum machine era before I went on the Kesey bus:
Complete with Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight samples in the chorus :)

I started getting into acid jazz in the early 90's, thankfully I was able to see Gang Starr's Guru perform Jazzmatazz live (RIP GURU) around 1993 , he was even touring with Donald Byrd that night:

That genre kind of fell out of style by the late 90's, and I had moved on to other things, but magically I found this next CD in 2005 that completely renewed my interest in the genre. Sadly, haven't seen this feat repeated since. Dj Colossus - West Oaktown:
This one with Roots Manuva from Ninja Tune records -

Now I feel old too.

I saw a fav band of mine at the Bill Graham venue The Warfield in S.F. for new years eve. They are called Sound Tribe Sector 9, or STS9 for short. Great band for studying/reading/driving since no lyrics. Hope you like:

If you live in Singapore, no time is happier than Chinese New Year. I go shopping for mandarins and take in the festive air and red paper lanterns and people's red happy states and GONG XI GONG XI GONG XI NI YA, GONG XI GONG XI GONG XI NI.......

Everyone who's ever worn an Oriscent oil should know something about Chinese culture. This is the culture of my teachers. Their work, some of which is still celebrated as the greatest ouds of all time, is a direct reflection of that culture. (If it were my work, you'd be smelling New Age blue-green walla patta or New Guinea gyrinops married to Sumban cumingiana)....
