Desert Dreamers : An Indo-African Alchemy Dub Experience
14/July/12 Filed in: DJ Playaduster
Mixed by DJ Playaduster & Kaya Rainface in July 2012
and shared with humility in "earthy family style."
Prepare yourself for an intergalactic soundwave excursion to the Indian subcontinent and choice African destinations with DJs Playaduster and Kaya Rainface. Originally inspired by my discovery of the amazing Desert Dwellers remix project and the new Dirtwire project from Beats Antique, this musical journey invokes caravans in the desert, mystical night wanderings, starlight, throngs of pilgrims seeking visions on the playa, uttered prayers and whispered secrets, meditation, tribal gatherings, tea ceremonies, transcendent dancing, spices and scents. With plenty of earthy bass tones to ground our seekings, the mix floats towards the heavens on the wings of sitar, violin, cello, tabla, kamel ngoini and voice.
Featuring Desert Dwellers * Drumspyder * Filastine * Cheb i Sabbah * Bassnectar * Dirtwire * Kaminanda * Miles Davis * Kurt Rosenwinkel * Seun Kuti * Four Tet * Tinariwen * Issa Bagayoyo * Adham Shaikh * Eastern Sun * The Beatles * Yo- Yo Ma * Random Rab * Kalya Scintilla * Beats Antique * Nicolas Jaar * Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan * Massive Attack * Bobby McFerrin * Sacred System * TJ Rehmi * Mari Boine * Future Prophecies.

The Best of Quantic 1 * Jeremy Sole
24/September/11 Filed in: Guest DJ
From XLR8R: While lots of folks have only recently been turned on to cumbia and other Latin rhythms, guys like Will Holland (a.k.a. Quantic) have spent years digging through dusty crates of Central and South American vinyl, constantly in search of fresh beats and breaks. Yet Holland is more than just an old-school enthusiast, as he's fronted countless projects with different artists, musicians, and aims...the Tru Thoughts label has asked KCRW's Jeremy Sole to take a closer look at Quantic's entire body of work. To that end, Sole has assembled Lo Mejor y Sabor de Quantic: A Retrospective of Will Holland, a free 44-minute mixtape that weaves through the Quantic catalog and combines what Sole sees as the man's best work.

Evolutionary Psychejuju
27/July/09 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Playa Mixes
40-some days until the 2009 Burn, y'all > here's a mix from Radio DBM that is full of serious world-beat psychejuju to keep your preparations for the playa moving along on the good foot.
I was meditating on evolution while spinning out this set, particularly how species develop at different paces in different places around the planet. I love how one bird species, for example, will look and behave totally different from continent to continent, morphing form and behavior to match the physical ecosystem. But I also appreciate how all of life shares a common foundation, animated by the mysterious cosmic spark.
How does any of this apply to "Evolutionary Psychejuju"? Music is both universal as well as totally local. It begins with the heartbeat, and evolves in to a groove, a language every human can understand. I love how indigenous music is fitted to a particular place -- how the heat and aridity of Mali, the rhythm of the waves in Jamaica, the humid fecundity of Columbia have each inspired their own musical traditions. And I also love the ways in which some artists combine and blend those traditions in new and surprising ways. Musical evolution on a global scale. That's some of the thinking going on behind the scenes here at Radio dBM in the production of this here mix.
xo, DJ Playaduster

East to West
19/May/08 Filed in: DJ Edubious
Welcome to another episode of Edubious Compilations. This session will take you on a journey into the rhythms and instruments of India. Interwoven with sitar, tabla, Hindu chants and smooth Indian diva vocals, this mix keeps the beats in the pocket and grounded in western electronica.
You'll hear a few songs from previous mixes, like the Medina Remix of Toura Toura from DJ Cheb I Sabah (who gets a lot of play in this session); and the Desert Dwellers remix of 'Manifest' from Karsh Kale. Also setting the tone for this musical journey is Bahramji & Maneesh De Moor, Indianism, Bill Laswell's Tabla Beat Science, Govinda, Suphala, Theivery Corporation, Ikarus and Phobos.
The cover art for this mix is from an incredible artist named Andrew Jones. Check out more of his work at www.androidjones.com .
As always, thanks for listenin'. I'd like to know you're out there so holla if you hear me!
