WW: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Kinna Sohna [Music Video]

This weeks Worldwide Wednesday features the late great, legendary Qawwali singer, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. As Pakistan's most treasured musician, Nusrat performed around the world showcasing his six octave vocal range, which made a huge impression on the Western music scene. As a result, many different musicians worked with Nusrat including Peter Gabriel, Michael Brook, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and many more. Electronic trip hop duo, Massive Attack even remixed Nusrat's standout track Dam Mast Qalandar  in 1998. In efforts to spread good music from around the world, I present you with the music video for my personal favorite track by the grammy nominated artist, Kinna Sohna. Watch it above!

Turn Back Time Mondays: Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy [Music Video]

Generally believed to be the blueprint to the trip-hop genre, Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy, with vocals from Shara Nelson, is one of the biggest tracks to have hit the 90s. This song out in '91 is regularly featured in the top tracks of the past decades. Put simply, this track doesn't need an introduction and my words definitely won't do it justice. Press play, sit back, and vibe. Happy Monday!

Kingdom Says: Put Your Right Hand Hi, Kid Sister

Another techno Monday but this time with a more party feel to it than Massive Attack's Paradise Circus. As sensual as Paradise Circus was, Kid Sister's new hit Right Hand Hi remixed by Kingdom, is on a whole other level. It is the pre-drink to a great party. It's like sitting in a hotel room chugging alcohol and getting ready to get fucked up. Kingdom takes the original and makes a whole other song. The man takes an iconic house beat and places right into this song and it fits perfectly.




Show Me Love, by Steve Angello and Laidback Luke, was amongst the biggest hits of 2009 and that iconic beat that everyone is now so familiar with is what makes this remix so big.




So, check it out, let me know what you think, download some other Kingdom remixes because he is one great Dj. Stay tuned for your next techno update!

The Massive Attack of the Paradise Circus

It may be a Monday, but I'm starting off this week by hitting you with a classic.

Massive Attack's newest album Heligoland is a must have for any sort of techno dj with a taste in music. The biggest track on the album, Paradise Circus, is one that I have to talk about. Especially the Gui Boratto remix.

This song has the strangest feel to it. It's not something you'd expect. It's chill with a certain appeal. The beat may be slow but the minute the voice of Hope Sandoval pops in, it immediately injects a certain aroma. The aroma of a very drunk, yet appealing flavour. Again, it's nothing you'd expect. Her sensual voice takes you a journey and you have no idea where you're headed. Exactly like the line says, "But we like it when we're spinning", we are lost, confused and caught up in the haze of that extraordinary voice. The idea of being lost and having no idea where you're headed instantly captures the listener and brings them to a whirlwind of emotions and leaves them rested and soothed. As the song approaches an end, the pace of the beat begins to increase and reaches a sort of climax and again just drops to the original beat.

Give it a good listen and you'll be astonished as to what this song may do to you. Hit me up with comments as to how it makes you feel.

Happy Monday people!
