GLOBAL ROOTS

Brasil vs Africa vs India

Music from all over the world that serves as the foundation for more modern global sounds. While some of these songs are newer they have a strong quality that, for me, categorizes them as rootsy/classic sounding. These songs are not about parties, intoxication or the like. In all languages the tunes speak of substance and real life. I used music influenced by (not necessarily created in) 2 countries and a continent. A few of these songs are my own edits. The music on this mix is taken from vinyl, mp3 and CD. I did my best to preserve some of the quality of the music but there are obvious faults. The mix was done live with 2 Technic 1200s, DJM 909 Mixer, SSL-3 and a Korg Kaossilator-Pro in my home on a Saturday night in May 2011.

You can hear this and more at the FEx party in Chicago on first Saturdays at Subterranean.
