Twizzle - A Gaslight Odyssey

Just came across this wonderful tribal fusion interpretation of The Gaslight Troubadour's 'Twizzle', danced by the gorgeous Ela Rogers ... we are most impressed and adoring of your talents young lady!

David Starfire

This long-haired dude from California looks like he should be in a hair metal band but I love his productions. Heavy on the bass but not just for the sake of it. He certainly knows how to create great rhythms and dirty basslines.

This isn't my favourite of his tunes, but is the best video to date of his and features the delectable Sharon Kihara. Definitely one for the tribal fusion girls ...

Magnifico

I love this cat. He's from the former Yugoslavia and his tongue-in-cheek gun-slinging Balkan tunes get me every time. Note: listen behind the cheeky facade and sometimes you'll find extremely poignant lyrics...

This fantastic tune was taken from his last album ... do I detect House Of The Rising Sun in there?... Without doubt, but that Balkan/Mariachi horn action does the damage ...

Amsterdam Klezmer Band

I love these guys. Another band we used on Waltzes, Glitches & Brass. This is a much older track but one of their best.

Samantha Emanuel

Samantha Emanuel (nee Hasthorpe) is for my books the best of the new Bellydance Superstars. I'm probably biased cos she's a friend, but her improvisations are really well thought out and above all, in tune with the music. Anyway this was filmed during her workshop weekend in Chagford, Devon, in the Summer 2009 and music is by Dan Cantrell and Amon Tobin.

You can even spot me to the left hand side (if you look hard enough) doing my DJ thing...

Caravan Palace

This great French band mix twenties swing sounds with Berlin-style cabaret and other mashed up kitsch electro sounds. As you can see they're a great live band.

We really wanted to have this track on Waltzes, Glitches & Brass, but alas the label wanted loads of dosh so it wasn't to be. But if you're a label with a lot of money to spend on licensing, these could be a decent bet...

Kitten Pig vintage cut

I have no idea whether this is an official video. I suspect not. Anyway this is a classic cut from Pentaphobe. He's probably never bettered it in terms of vaudeville sounds. The video fits perfectly.
