Near and Far East



This mix is absolutely inspired by the world events unfolding in the middle east. Close your eyes, relax, imagine the heat of 110 degrees in the shade, Bedouin's traversing on camels along the red sea. Our journey starts with a dreamy meditative collection of classics from Glen Velez and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Michael Brook to modern day classics featuring Ram Dass & Kriece, Bombay Dub Orchestra, Savages y Suefo, Thievery Corp., Filmi, The Spy From Cairo and Captain Planet. This is a seriously deep, rich and spicy uplifting aural journey. Put your headphones on, relax, sip some spicy tea and imagine being along the Red Sea with hot winds blowing off the dessert to the sea as Bedouin's traverse on Camels.
