Danny Does Acid
Well we is truly back from our indulgent trip around the landscapes, people, places, cuisines of Europa and with so much great muzik we've missed while away, we must try and catch up so expect it to become postastatic around here again. Off we go then with a producer who never fails to deliver the brilliant Danny Natives who dropped this Promo Ep in December and is still available on a free download..respects! You may remember we blogged "Fire" back in August, but here DN takes us back to circa early 90's Acid, particularly loving his re-dub of "Pacific 808".I must be getting a bit raved up again i think after having an old Acid mix cassette in the van on our trip on constant play....Anyway more stuff to download from the top bod on his Soundcloud page...

Dream of Drums..
A rare and unique assembly of some of the greatest drummers in the world. Explosive talent, passion, humour and irresistible personality come together in a magical setting when seven diverse drummers create a profound and unforgettable experience. You’ve never seen drummers like this before!
Featuring Nasyr Abdul Al-Khabyyr, Dennis Chambers, Kenwood Dennard, Horacio “El-Negro” Hernadez, Giovanni Hidalgo, Mike Mangini and Raul Rekow, the film engages us with the rich music styles and influences that are as dynamic as the performers themselves. We are lifted to another dimension as we connect to the powerful forces of nature embodied in the music of these master musicians. The creative and spiritual freedom of expression these artists display is overwhelming – from Latin rhythms to the wildly original compositions of Kenwood Dennard. Rock, jazz, Latin fusion, soul – these master drummers have backed up the likes of Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Carlos Santana and now – each other.
At the center of the film is the warm-hearted Nasyr, and his musician friends who share their knowledge with forty students for this incredible, unforgettable week of music and camaraderie. The overriding philosophy of these musicians is driven by love, compassion and joy of life. At the end of the film you will be tapping the rhythms that live within us all and the positive energy these masters display will continue to pulse through you for days to come.
