Staying Sane: The Beginnings Mix - Atmospheric Chill and Kick

Time is ticking...
..it's been almost 5 yrs now since the birth of Agent B..
it has happened one summer late night/early morning at a beachclub in a land far far away - location of the fruitful event pictured below..

I was just bored bored BORED of the same ole same ole and thus my romance with Bollywood and World Music began: the AfroCelts with the beautiful vocals of the lovely Sevara Nazarkhan from Uzbekistan (pictured below), Bombay Dreams & Apache Indian, Bluffmaster, a few friendly underground London bands, Fatboy Slim bhangroidal remix, Sertab Erdener and Enigma, some Oriental House, Sean Paul and yet more Bolly (Kisna and Bride & Prejudice) - this collection has started me off on the Agent B. journey..and I never looked back since.

The moody mix on offer today is my first attempt at mixing different genres of music and also my very first attempt at mixing at all...might be a bit ropey. The year is 2004..
The Very First Atmospheric Chill & Kick Mix - listen here.

Mega Mix: Eh, Miss Batty Batty, You are Murder!

A Gastarbeiter handed me a CD, listen to this, he says.

Okay, I say.

And off I go on a mad musical trip around the New Europe diaspora & beyond - Michael Palin eat your heart out!
The track list somehow traces the immigrant's travels za chlebem (Fürs Brot), hunting for a job out in the wide World to secure their existence without leaving their own culture behind and forgetting their roots .
A hint of nostalgia...

The CD is old, all scratched up and am not sure if I can save anything to remaster - it is definitely worth the effort though.

I hear Bollywood & Brazilian reggaeton, Balkan turbo-folk on speed with electric guitars, Celtic violins, a bit of R&B (which I promptly skip), Turkish belly moans; all in da mix with some deep throaty man-groans (not Shaggy though methinks, only if Shaggy can do it in Turkish too..??) and a touch of "taramasalata", I swear it's not all Greek though..

Still recovering from the time bandits' theft of a full hour off the last weekend (how dare they!?), this "mongrelled" collection of songs happens to provide a very unexpected way to make me want to do anything at all on a grey day like this..
I want to share - I have salvaged the tunes and am posting this New Europe Mishmash Murders Batty Batty Mega Mix here for your pleasure.
It is quite raw.
