Hey All,
This is first BIG WORLDLY of 2007. We are headed in a more live direction this year and what better way to set it off then to fly in master bass player and cofounder of Asian Dub Foundation!
We performed with ADF soundsystem in London in 2004 - I can still feel the walls gently shaking to the deep dubby bass of Dr. Das. This is his live project with his kit drumer/electronics wizard Ramjac (who was a major innovator in the drum and bass scene in the mid 90s). Throw in Karsh Kale on tabla - oh my gosh. Not to be outdone Chebiji is performing with Mitch Hyare in Dhol. That is only the description of the mainroom! Dont miss this cos is it one of kind on a global scale.
See you there,
Janaka

Multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ Karsh Kale is one of the U.S. global electronica scene’s key driving forces. In addition to a series of highly successful releases on the Six Degrees label, including his latest, Broken English, Kale is in high demand by some of the most innovative musical voices of our time. Herbie Hancock, Zakir Hussain, Bill Laswell, Dave Douglas, and Ravi and Anoushka Shankar are just a few of the musicians he’s collaborated with.

Cheb i Sabbah
Cheb i Sabbah has made a career out of blending music from all over the world into kaleidoscopic, dancefloor mixes. His first three albums for Six Degrees Records, Shri Durga, MahaMaya - Shri Durga Remixed and Krishna Lila, are cult classics in which India's time-honored traditions merge with the universe of possibilities afforded by contemporary recording technology. His fourth release was a continuous DJ mix titled As Far As, in which the sounds of Asia, Arabia and Africahis main sources of inspirationare represented as if the listener were attending one of his renowned live sets. From here, he turned his attention to North Africa with his latest discs La Kahena and La Ghriba - La Kahena Remixed. He’s currently working on a brand new album and you can look forward to a sneak preview of it at this edition of Worldly.

Janaka Selekta
The San Francisco Bay Area urban electronica community spoke loudly and clearly when it declared Dhaamal SF co-founder Janaka Selekta “Best DJ” in a recent SF Guardian reader’s poll. Janaka brings a dancer’s sensibility to the decks, by deconstructing each track, and merging and beat juggling parts to build crescendos and diminuendos. Janaka is renowned for his deft touch while constantly working the tracks and mixer to blow up dancefloors across the U.S., Asia, and Europe. His unique sound combines original songs and homemade bootlegs with floor-stomping tracks from around the planet. Janaka’s breakbeat tune, “Bol Breaker,” broke BBC Radio 1’s Bobby and Nihal’s Top 10 and the Dhamaal Soundsystem CD hit the iTunes Top 20 Electronic Music Chart.
