Nomadiqa Ethnic Fusion - Repost

2007-11-15T13:10:25Z

Hi Folks,
We recently released our debut album. It's a mix of electronic and ethnic/arabian styles, some downtempo, and some eastern european influences also. Just thinking it might be of interest to the folks in this tribe who like this kind of material and vibe. Especially if you like the RealWorld, AfroCelts stuff, etc.

There's four full tracks available to listen online.

http://www.myspace.com/nomadiqa

Have a listen and see what you think. Sorry for the self promotion.

Many thanks,

Nomadiqa

STATELESS at RICKSHAW STOP, SF SATURDAY 3/10/07

2007-03-07T03:25:25Z

Men and Women, Young and Old…All of them are ready for Chapter Two of the Stateless crew’s run at the mighty Rickshaw Stop coming this Saturday, March 10th.

Hot off the heals of our successful party featuring Stateless stalwarts Roots and Wires Sound Dimensional and the Worker along side SF favorites, Lemonade, and Rio’s Magabo, Chapter two only increases the heat as we move into the spring months.

This time around we have very special guests and Soot Records recording artists DJ Rupture and Filastine.

Barcelona based, DJ Rupture will be bringing his trademark sonic clash of global beats mashed up inna 3-turntable fashion. Audio alchemy through a 21st century filter!

Filastine, in his second performance at a Stateless event, will be dropping his politically charged sounds siphoned through a laptop and stitched together with hip-hop backbone and live percussion. Postworld sonic grit aimed straight at the World Bank’s head!

…And just in case you thought it ended there, Roots and Wires will be playing their trademark blend of original productions and outernational beats from dubstep to UK steppers. Of course, Special Agent K and Andy G will be running it all through their wide array of sound banks, effects units, and secret sonic weapons inna dubwise fashion! Roots and Wires’ highly individual take on visuals will also be omnipresent throughout the night…So open your eyes and ears for the sounds and sights of the Roots and Wires!

Rounding off the bill will be the Worker with his always tight and tip-top minimal house, ragga breaks, and international hip-hop vibes.

As always reach early and stay late for this musical dispensation meant to rock the nations!

Dr. Das
Bassist Dr. Das is best known as the “dub” in Asian Dub

Foundation. His fat, addictive basslines propelled the British Asian Underground pioneers’ sound from their inception in 1995 to 2006. Dr. Das just released his first solo CD Emergency Basslines to great acclaim across Europe. Worldly is proud to feature Dr. Das’ first U.S. solo gig.

Karsh Kale
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. Kale’s electrifying sets are always full of surprises, including unreleased material and glimpses into secret projects.

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.

Cheb i Sabbah on the Web: www.chebisabbah.com

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.

Their family represents a 500-year lineage of musicians hailing from the Sham Chaurasi Gharana (school of music).

Taruna: World Fusion 3

2006-11-18T06:25:06Z

Taruna: World Fusion 3

Shaman Electro is proud to present the much anticipated “Taruna: World Fusion 3”, the final installation in the World Fusion Trilogy, available now at psyshop: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/shn/shn1cd001.html

If you are already a fan of Taruna, aka Jürgen Eppinger, you have probably been waiting patiently for the newest album of psychedelic-ambient-electronica, rich with ethnic atmospheres from all over the globe – and if so, you will not be disappointed. If you are new to the global sounds of Taruna, you are in for an amazing voyage to new destinations…

Begin your journey with a glorious Sunrise in Varanasi - complete with original recordings on the streets of Varnasi, tabla, sarod and sarenghi samples, along with the sweet sounds of bells, xylophones, female vocals and a mixture of psychedelic synths and jazzy influences….Then allow yourself to wind through The Dogon Mystery, find an Invisible Word, glide through Shamballa and Listen to the Shamans of the Amazon rainforest. Each song carries you deep into the heart of a new place within yourself, wraps you in the sights, sounds and smells of faraway lands, and calls you to awaken to the beauty of all of humanity.

World Fusion 3 showcases rich, textured instruments from all over the globe: sitars, xylophones, flutes, tablas, bongos, shakers, Tibetan singing bowls, Chinese Zeng harp, Javanese gongs, Balinese Rejong Gamelan (the list goes on an on and on) mixed with thick bass lines, beautiful ethnic melodies and psychedelic synths to create globally rich atmospheres of feeling, depth and dance….all while delivering only the most positive of messages:

This incredible power inside the brain is ready to be activated…
Respect Nature, Respect Life…
There’s an invisible world around you…
There is going to have to be a radical transformation…transformation…transformation
The human future will be designed on how conscious we are able to make ourselves…

Travel through the streets of India, climb the Himalayas of Tibet, sing with the choirs of Bali, visit African villages in prayer, chant with long forgotten tribes, soar with the eagles and walk with the jaguars (and meet Timothy Leary and Terrence McKenna along the way!)…World Fusion 3 will guide your mind into a global perspective of enlightening authenticity…through a balance of male and female, yin and yang…to the possibilities of self and world… Awaken to the world around you…

World Fusion 3: an aural global guide…

STATELESS - 9/30 (sat) @ Amnesia - featuring wailing junktet and roots and wires hi-fi!

2006-09-30T02:58:00Z

hello friends,

thanks to all that came out for filastine's performance last month - it was a truly inspiring set for a comfortably packed house. we will have some photos up soon on the roots and wires website...

this saturday, september 30th, we return with the ninth round of stateless, again at SF's amnesia. for our live act, we are excited to bring you the wailing junktet, performing brazillian rhythms on found junk objects... they were killer at the recent novo sounds event (at the supper club)...

our guest dj is vanka, who hosts the misturada event at club six. here's a blurb that xlr8r's tomas palermo wrote about him:

"DJ Vanka has tapped into a vibe that clubs like Bar Rhumba in London have been promoting for years: organic and electronic Afro-Latin dance music. Vanka's hardly late to the game, though; he DJed for 10 years with Stellar Trax soundsystem, playing everything from reggae to drum 'n' bass. Now the Belgian native focuses his energies on the Worldwide crew (which includes DJs Wisdom and Ruben) and makes sure the Make-Out Room is packed with dancers every Saturday for Misturada (Portuguese for "mixed"). As Vanka works his way through a mix of salsa, samba, reggaeton, cumbia, Latin house, and Brazilian batucada breaks, the place becomes a sweatbox of swirling bodies"

wicked!

resident dj, the worker (six degrees, stateless), will drop his usual dancefloor magic, with everything from baile funk to ragga breaks.

the roots and wires hi-fi will close out the night, in full soundsystem style - with both original productions and the thickest selections, from dubstep and ragga-jungle, old school bollywood and asian massive, to uk steppers and roots reggae... their performance will be dubbed live with analogue delays, siren and sound units, melodica and more...

finally, the stateless crew will tag-team and provide visual mixing to complete the multimedia mandala...

make sure to come out for a diverse night of outernational and rootsical sounds, live and electronic, roots and wires...

the night starts at 9PM and goes until 2AM. the cover is only $5. the location is amnesia, 853 valencia - between 19th and 20th...

peace,

khenu (special agent k)

STATELESS featuring Grey Filastine (Soot Records) tonight 8/25 @ Amnesia (SF)

2006-08-25T16:22:14Z

Please join us this Friday, August 25th, at Amnesia, for the next round of Stateless! Grey Filastine will be headlining, performing music from his new album - featuring a wicked mix of field recordings, sound collage, hip hop, arabic and indian beats. Here's the Boomkat review of his new album "Burn It," released on DJ Rupture's Soot Records:

"Thankfully this hugely accomplished debut album from Filastine on DJ Rupture’s Soot label is one that will stay on your playlist without fear of deletion. Taking influence from the four corners of the world; blending Brazillian funk with Jamaican riddims, Indian vocal honey with French rapping… this is a veritable world cruise (albeit without the pub-singer crooning). Filastine manages to distill his worldly influences without coming across trite or contrived. Never while listening to ‘Burn It’ did I stop and get cynical, it’s just not that kind of record. An excellent achievement and a huge recommendation – don’t burn it, BUY IT."

and another review from Seattle's Stranger:

"reminiscent of the murky drama of Ninja Tuners like Amon Tobin and DJ Food - throughout the album the lines between live performed contributions and meticulously contextualized samples is slurred and burnt... it feels like a thrillingly tense interaction between these ideological factors and the gold-toothed, whip-riding luxury of hiphop culture"

Grey will be joined by a guest vocalist, will be playing live polyrhythms, and will dub out his set via his performance art aesthetic (Grey is the conceptual mind behind Seattle's infamous Infernal Noise Brigade). Don't be surprised when you see his gear loaded on a shopping cart, a critique on consumerism and hypercapitalism...

In addition to Filastine, we have a special guest opening the night:

DJ Cyan will drop soulful sounds, liquid funk, drum and bass and dubstep...

The Worker, co-founder of Stateless alongside the Special Agent K, will follow DJ Cyan and drop ragga breaks, deep international techno, adding slivers of dub, brazilian, drum and bass, and breaks...

Filastine will play next...

The Roots and Wires Hi-Fi (Special Agent K, Andy G) will be closing the night with some original productions: expect some roots/dub, dubstep, and drum and bass meets virtuosic classical indian music (including All-India Radio artist, Ghanshyam Sisodia (sarangi), top disciple of Ustaad Amjad Ali Khan, Preetam Ghosal (sarod), and classical vocal virtuoso, Ujwaal Nagar). These sonic ninjas will also select the thickest in UK steppers, ragga jungle, asian massive, and roots/dub, all while dubbing the mix live with delays, reverb, siren unit, melodica, and video imagery! As a special treat, we will also be featuring tracks from Talvin Singh's upcoming album. This is so fresh that we can't give you any more details - I can say that you won't find this dubplate material anywhere else until next year. It is simply beautiful music, so please come and take any early sneak peek!

The Special Agent K will be doing live video mixing throughout the night, creating a rootsical container for your sonic experience...

This should be a night of edgy, experimental but danceable, outernational music and image...

We hope to see you all at Amnesia (853 Valencia, between 19th and 20th) this Friday, August 25th starting at 9PM. The cover is only $5 and the night goes until 2 AM...

Peace,

Khenu (Special Agent K)

Stateless SF @ Amnesia - Fri 6/30/06 - Featuring Micropixie and Jeff Stott!

2006-06-28T21:41:49Z

First off - thanks to everyone that made it out to a packed Amnesia for our last Stateless event. It was a great evening - mad props to Kush Arora for his next-step ragga-bhangra set!

We will be celebrating our six-month anniversary on Friday, June 30, again at Amnesia (b/w 19th and 20th on Valencia, in SF's Mission). We will start at 9 PM and go until 2 AM - the cover is only $5. This should be an extra-special event, as we have two amazing headliners, as well as video artists this time.

First, desi space-alien Micropixie (www.micropixie.com) will be playing her ethereal sounds, with live tabla accompaniment and laptop beats. Then, Jeff Stott, MC Rai producer and founder of Embarka Records (www.embarkarecords.com) , will be performing beats and oud, with a violinist and arabic percussion.

Michael (The Worker) and I (Special Agent K) will be dropping opening and closing sets - spinning roots, dub, bhangra, outernational breaks and jungle, afrojazz, dancehall, dubstep and so on...

I'll be doing my usual soundsystem business, with siren unit and analogue delays. I'm also planning on dropping some dubplates of original south asian dubstep and drum and bass.

Finally, we will be incorporating a visual component. This will include a video piece by Sue C , a photographer and video artist (www.orthlorng.com/sue/live.html) who works with a combination of analog and digital processes, doing "live improvisational video performances using a custom built system in the max/msp/jitter software environment"... We will also be joined by a guest visual artist, Yasi, who is a member of the Flaming Lotus Girls (www.flaminglotus.com) and who will be providing some live visual pieces to complement the evening. The visual element should be a nice addition to our developing event.

I'm still developing my dubwise tabla and midi footcontroller setup, so expect to see this as part of my set in the next few months!

So please come out and join us for an intimate evening of bass frequencies, outernational beats, live performance and visual art!

Warmly, Khenu (Special Agent K!)

THIS MONDAY IN NY-DEEP SPACE W/ FRANCOIS K., DUB GABRIEL, UMAR BIN HASSAN (LAST POETS), SATISH!!!!

2006-06-07T11:14:29Z

Hey everyone, I just arrived back in New York to visit and to kick off a tour doing 20 shows around the United States.
For the last 8 months I have been living in Berlin and it has been a total trip.
It feels good to be back in the states and I am hoping to see all my New York friends together this Monday at Deep Space where I will be doing my only NY show.
It will be a special night doing an all-live global dub soundsystem with Last Poets legend Umar Bin Hassan, who also was on the last Common record as well as Trumpet playing madman Satish on horn and electronics.
And of course resident DJ, Francois K.
Please come and join me, catch up with good friends in a fun night!!

Admission is $10, $5 before 10pm
For additional information visit:
www.deepspacenyc.com

Step back, all ye wannabe rappers and check out one of
the originals who made hip hop possible. Before Africa
Bambaata was throwing parties in the Bronx, before
Prince Whipper Whip was rocking with the Fantastic 5
and before the Rock Steady Crew ever attempted their
first windmills, Umar Bin Hassan and the Last Poets
were making rhythm and poetry live on the streets of
Harlem.
Thirty years later a number of the more socially and
politically conscious emcees are planning a tribute
album to the Last Poets featuring Common, Dead
Prez, Chuck D, Keith Murray, Buckshot, Kanye West,
Erykah Badu and others.
Since 1999, Brooklyn Producer/DJ Dub Gabriel and Last
Poets’s founder Umar Bin Hassan have collaborated in
many ways.
First with Umar’s now legendary appearance on Dub
Gabriel’s Baraka Orchestra album, Then with Dub
Gabriel and Prof. Shehab releasing Umar’s album
produced by Bill Laswell. Gabriel’s Current album
“Bass Jihad” is a modern Middle Eastern Dub
masterpiece being compared by Billboard magazine to
Brian Eno as well as on the best of 2005 list from
many magazines and radio stations from around the
world.
The night will be a celebration of not only the return
meeting of these two artist, but also it will be the
first time Dub Gabriel is in New York since moving to
Berlin Germany 8 months ago.
This legendary night will feature Dub Gabriel\s
Brooklyn Massive soundsystem doing all live dubbing
and music creating. as well as Trumpet maestro Satish
on the dub trumpet and surprise guest!!
and of course your host and pilot for the evening on
the ones and twos Mr. Francois K.!!

STATELESS 004 - Friday, April 28th @ Amnesia (SF)

2006-04-26T23:24:34Z

Hi All,

Thanks to all that made it out to the last Stateless, which was also a part of Dhamaal's Sights and Sounds Festival. Amnesia was once again packed with thick sonics and a diverse crowd of revelers and music afficiandos. MC Rai played a beautiful arabic set and the DJ crew (Radiohiro and DJ Warp) from Chicago was solid...

We'll be steppin' forward with the fourth episode of Stateless on Friday April 28, again at Amnesia (853 Valencia, between 19th and 20th). This go round will feature this following line-up:

(1) Tomas (XLR8R) will open the night with dubwise and minimal techno sounds...

(2) Resident DJ, Special Agent K (Roots and Wires Hi-Fi, Stateless), will drop a set of diverse sounds, spanning bhangra, ragga breaks, asian massive to drum and bass... all while dropping dubwise samples, and manipulating effects, a siren unit, and analogue delay live... This time, he will also drop some original productions, highlighting recently recorded indian classical talent from New Delhi, India - inna dubstep/breakbeat version!

www.rootsandwires.com
http://rootsandwires.blogspot.com/

(3) Tim Barsky is our featured live act. Tim is a traditional Ashkenazi storyteller and oral historian who has been getting increasing attention for his unique performance style, which blends hip-hop, street theatre, and Jewish folklore. He's also the world's first battle flutist! Using just a flute and a microphone, Tim can beatbox, "scratch", manipulate beats, drop classics, and play up to 8 lines at the same time, without loops or sampling. Taking the aesthetic of the battle DJ and integrating it into the flute, Tim is pioneering the art form of woodwind percussion.

http://www.timbarsky.com/

(4) Resident DJ, The Worker (Novo Sounds, Stateless), will close out the night with his ecletic, dancefloor shakin' sounds - from breaks to baile funk...

Please come check it!

Khenu (special agent k)

P.S.
The doors open at 9PM and the cover is only $5. There will be a limited number of CD giveaways as well...

Dubwise Soundsystem - 2/24/06 - Stateless @ Amnesia (SF)

2006-02-24T04:55:52Z

Hi Everyone!

Tommorrow brings another installment of Stateless at our new home, Amnesia (853 Valencia, between 19th and 20th - in the Mission). As usual we will be featuring the dubbier and more experimental side of outernational sounds, with live dubbing and live percussion.

As far as the night's line-up:

I will start out the night at 9PM, go until 10:15 or so, and will be playing some dub, roots, bhangra, outernational breaks, and some new dubstep. Alex from Lemonade will be dropping live percussion and melodica over my set (special agent k) and over Michael's set (D. Wurker), as I also dub him live, drop samples and dubwise siren sounds, and tweak the digital mixing board... Michael will move the dancefloor from 10:15-11:30...

We have some extra special guests following our earlier sets:

Maneesh the Twister (Dhamaal) will be playing a set, with Ferhan on Tabla, and MC Daddy Frank on the mic. This should be from around 11:30-12:30.

Tomas (XLR8R, Voltage Music) will close out the night from 12:30-1:45 with producer Nada on effects and percussion.

So it should be a heavy night of beats, basslines, live percussion, vocalists, rootsical sounds and dubwise treatment! Come out and represent!

Peace,

Khenu

Asian Music gets big-money recognition

2005-09-12T23:18:39Z

Rock.com has devoted 10% (5 of 50) online radio channels to Asian music. These are available for free on the front page of Rock.com and the streams are ad-free. For content, they have selected 50 stations from Live365.

What makes this so important is that Rock.com is the most-visited rock site on the internet and the fourth most-visited music site on the internet. That's HUGE!

Asian stations featured incude HKVP Radio (Hong Kong Vintage Pop), Mandarin Radio, Hardcore-J, and Bollywood-Hindi Hits. Thai, Philipino and Indian stations are also featured.

This is a big step forward for Asian music as it signifies that the big-money western music industry might be finally catching on.

Unfortunately there is no K-Pop station available because nobody has created a K-Pop station on Live365.

Indian percussionist, composer, producer and DJ, Karsh Kale is primarily known for his tabla (hand drums of India) and electronic percussion playing skills. Born of Indian parents, Kale grew up in the U.S., but was equally influenced by music of the East and West, resulting in the creation of a highly original style — where electronic dance and meets Indian folk. Kale’s sound is a hybrid of shuffling breakbeats, tabla-fused Indian rhythms, lush vocals and strings—a vibrant mash-up of global musical styles and modern drum programming from one of New York’s acclaimed remixers. Karsh is also a featured member of Tabla Beat Science, with Bill Laswell and Zakir Hussain but has also worked with or remixed such artists as Herbie Hancock, DJ Spooky, Ming & FS, DJ Logic, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Cheb I Sabbah, Sting, Paul Oakenfold, Talvin Singh, MIDIval PunditZ, and Plastilina Mosh among many. www.karshkale.com

WORLDLY III @ 1015 Folsom Printable PreSale Ticket Inside

2005-05-17T19:29:54Z

Hello Friends,

Thank you for coming out to Worldly III – it is going to be incredible!

In order to streamline the process of getting you into 1015 Folsom I have created the printable pdf that is attached.

The Ticket
http://www.dhamaalsf.com/Worldly/Volume3/May1015Ticket.pdf

The Flash Flyer
http://dhamaalsf.com/flyers/worldly3/worldly03Flyer.htm

1. Print it out and bring it the event
2. Show it to the 1015 Folsom Box Office Staff for 15$ Entrance
3. Important: Each person that wants to get on the 15$ List must have a printout
4. You can forward this email to friends so they can make a print out too

The link also has information about the space, performances and where each room is – 1015 Folsom is a big club and having a copy of the attachment to look at will be useful (make an extra copy though since you will have to surrender one copy to get the $15 discount entrance).
