Various Artists - Live at Dakini Nights

Live at Dakini Nights" (DAK2113) is s compilation documenting the artists who've played at Dakini Nights over the past 5 years. The tracks aren't live recordings -- most of the stuff we recorded off the P.A. was too hot -- but rather studio recordings representative of what the artists do live. Nine all new and exclusive mixes.


"An ethno-ambient/electronica compilation spanning many years of recording, from 1999 to 2004, this richly decorated gatefold digipack delights right from the start. A stringed indi-instrument starts off relatively traditionally and quickly builds into an electronic piece with a wide variety of ethnic instruments. Very cool. These songs are very upbeat - you could dance to these and be lost in your head. What makes these unique is that they are not flat 4 on the floor beats but syncopated, complicated and delicate rhythms. An exciting release for those who dig new takes on techno. In fact, you can't go wrong with and of the releases on the Dakini label. Some are beatier, others are more 'authentic' but they are all enjoyable."(Don Poe)
