Middle East influenced music

boomp3.com

Need recommendations of similar music.

I remember this same topic coming up a week or two ago, you check that one out?

I was trying to find it but i keep getting this:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the tranceaddict Forums database.

We have reported this error and apologize for any inconvenience.

Mirage - Sauna
Lazon - The Baguio Track (Bedrock mix)
Prodigy - Smack my bitch up (Slacker remix)

Check out anything by Moshic.

Got lots of options:

If you're looking for soundscapes to mix over or remix, which judging by the link you posted, you are, hit up the world section of some of the larger sites, there's TONS of stuff on there you will like.

If you're already looking for something higher up closer to EDM look at like Natacha Atlas (I put a spell on you is pretty much guaranteed to get any middle eastern girls to be shaking that persian derriere) or traditional belly dancing (George Abdo The Joy of Belly Dancing is usually what you hear in belly dancing places) you'll obviously need to do some work to get them up to work in an EDM set, but they're close.

If you're looking for more chill stuff look at Thievery Corporation(Indra, Lebanese Blonde, etc), Talvin Singh (Little faster paced and also not always just Persian) or Panjabi MC (Think he's Indian, but he's not that far from what you are looking for, it's not slow wailing sitars. He's also been picked up for beats by a lot of hip hop guys, Jay-Z used Mundian Bach Ke for one of his tracks)

i have been studying morrocan and lebanese belly dancing. surprisingly, the tunes can be used nicely in a set of almost any genre. the trick is to wait for the beat to rise up to 125 or whatever bpm you were playing at previously, and mix in before it changes again.

I'm actually just looking for something for chilling out at home.
Already have all of Thievery Corporation's albums, their track Illumination actually inspired me to make this thread.
Oh, and I like Panjabi MC's track Jogi.

To everyone else, thanks, I'll check those out.

Goa Trance

Juno Reactor!

anthony collins bombay strings is nice.

anything in the line of Buddha Bar cds . love this style of laid back music.

conjure one's self-titled debut anyone?

Some dj's i would say that play sets with a middle eastern feel:

Moshic
Kintar & Rex
DJ Topo [check out mercury server]
Shiva [check out mercury server]

Also check out Deep Z mindscapes series they are very good, recently had a set purely of remixes of Ofra Haza, very nice!

- but they tend to be more housey than trance - but they nevertheless very good sets.

(I'd say Goa trance is far more Indian definitely)

Just think about that statement for a moment.

I have because 30% of all the music I have listened to in my life has been Indian music...what do you think about it?

By the way im not looking to get into a debate about what country produces the best music or what type of music is the best...that shit is too subjective to debate upon. Having learned how to play Tabla (percussion) on my own, I would like to share some Carnatic Indian music and 1940s-1970s Film music with TA one of these days, maybe expand some horizons.

banco de gaia should be exactly what you're looking for.
