Eastern Dub: Dub Davami by Mahmood Schricker featuring Namjoo

beautifully atmospheric; dreamy choreography and sound… i’m a big rhythm & sound fan and i can see the homage paid here.  however, the eastern vocals take this to a new stratosphere. if you are into minimal dub (rhythm & sound, basic channel, etc) and care to experiment with world music this is your ultimate answer, free download here.  sponsored by the ontario arts council. if you are into dance also check out this previous beautiful post. by kc

new york, new york

last winter i went to see ‘shame’ in the theaters, and despite the rampant nudity, glory holes, and sexual innuendos projecting off the screen—this fully clothed and melancholy rendition of the city namesake tune is what stuck in my head.  i am currently mad at new york, and have been surrounding myself with city related tunes in order to mediate those feelings.  not especially a huge carey mulligan fan, but this tear sodden version will be on many playlists for years to come. by sv
