Hello Everybody
Hope You're all going fine. This new session is something I wanted to make for a while now, and I could finally gather the energy and the material to work on it. It is quite influenced by the mixed Compilation "As Far As : A Dj-Mix" that was set up by the great Dj Cheb I Sabbah for Six Degrees Recordings. I felt like following the same concept of merging tribal beats and electronic music but decided to stick to some four to the floor beats structure. I can say I've worked quite hard on it, trying this, removing that, and so on, until I came to something quite decent (do I hope !). So here we go, I wish you enjoy this kind of mesmerizing ethno-techno Pot-Pourri, and I'd love to dedicate this session to a nice friend who sadly passed away while I was setting up the session, he was such a gentle person as well as a talented chill deejay. This is for you TokyoEye..
