The Ashram
This mix was inspired by my latest Vipassana meditation retreat (Dec, 2016) and will be the last Orientalism mix. The general theme is the ashram visitation – of returning to the ashram. Musically, we have ambient, drum and bass, along with IDM. Flowing throughout are the sounds of India, chanting, and the presence of many…

The Harem
This Arabic/South Asian downtempo/trip hop mix is one of my favorites and a highlight of all my mixes. Finely tuned lounge mix that encapsulates the lounge sound I brought to clubs and chill rooms.

This dj mix was inspired to create a auditory space for introspection and spiritual awakening (although I listen during reading or writing).

The Desert
This dj mix takes you on a relaxing and contemplative journey through the sounds of the east. This mix is a favorite of listeners and has many of the classic ambient tunes I played in the chill rooms/areas.

Orientalism – The Jihadist
This mix encapsulates the distorted and abstract electronic sounds that incorporate traditional Arabic instrumentation. This is a political and spiritual journey that interrogates Jihad and attendant physical violence.

Orientalism – The Temple
This mix highlights traditional Indian instruments and vocals with drum and bass eventually transitioning to slower electronica highlighting indian female vocalists. This mix was made for my benefit and contains some of my favorite drum and bass tracks.
