the 4 chord pop song formula

i don’t actually recognize most of the songs but i’m told by honky hally that they are indeed major hits. also not sure if the 4 chords i’m posting are actually the 4 chords that makeup the actual pop songs but then again pick any 4. by dd+hk

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
