As a taste of things to come thanks to the collaborator, here's a little video fun- an absolute monster of a track from a man who should absolutely be recognized for the depth and quality of his work on a more worldwide scale. It is (and again this is all thanks to the new cultural source) called 'Abu Ali' and is a five part suite written and composed by Rahbani. This is some madly smooth funk action here, and a slightly sad reminder of just how urbane and cosmopolitan Beirut was (and can be) when other people aren't staging their wars there. Go ahead, take a half hour to relax, have a cup of nice strong coffee and imagine yourself in the Paris of the East......
Sadly a day later this post has taken on a new tone after the brutally sad events in Beirut and Syria. Our thoughts go out to those caught up in this madness.....
Hey there! Great site, only just found it. Invaluable resource for me, I do a dj set every month more or less in a club near where I live in Italy. The theme of the set is always "Around the world in 80 songs" and the music I like to play, which fits the ambience of the locale, is of the 60s/70s disco/garage/rock n' roll/psychedelic type. I'm trying to locate a few of the records you posted so I can buy them, basically because otherwise I'd just download your entire site....All the posts are really nicely-written too, keep up the good work!
Thanks for checking it all out and commenting- download away please, that's what it's all there for! It's made my day knowing this stuff is reaching someone in Italia, especially given you're doing what sounds like a great DJ night and please check out the forthcoming upgrade of the site- there's some stuff lined up to be posted that I think you'll like!
