This mix is the first in the Digital Folklore series exploring the collision of traditional and electronic music from around the world. It focuses largely on sounds from South America.
Tank – Original Song (2019)
Super chilled out ambient track joined by a plinky hip hop beat after about a minute and a half.
Cuckoo Carnival – Original Song (2019)
An off-kilter, sample-heavy track full of birds, bass, percussion, haunting abstract vocals, and flutes that takes a departure toward the end for an totally different mood.
Banjo Float – Original Song (2019)
Bouncy track full of spacey synth arpeggios, jazz percussion samples, and some highly modified samples of me playing banjo.
Floating over the Andes – Mixtape
This is a half hour of chilled out beats with heavy doses of South American artists who are influenced by traditional music.
Mandolin Bounce – Original Song (2016)
This song is uh… bouncy and uses samples from Thailand with a mandolin and reed instruments.
Wayah Wayah – Original Song (2016)
This track uses a bunch of South Asian and hiphop drums and flutes with a robot voice coming along for the ride. “Wayah Wayah” doesn’t actually mean anything, except maybe in robot language.
World Music Fest – After Party Mix
This is a three hour mix I put together for the World Music Fest after party. It starts with some electro cumbia but goes all over the place with a wide variety of modern, electronic influenced international music.
BBQ Around the World – Spotify Playlist
This is the playlist I made for Little Planet Supper Club #8 – BBQ Around the World at Braxton Brewing in Covington, Kentucky on June 9th, 2016. The menu included great food from Korea, Cuba, Morocco, and the American south. The playlist includes lively BBQ music all those places and more.
Afro Disco Spaceship – Mixtape
These are some of my favorite recent, African-inspired, retro-futuristic disco songs.
