Showcasing one of the most original mixes of the year, DJ Zhao fuses the sounds of raw afro and asian traditional music with modern bass driven beats from the dubstep and grime scene. Original productions compiled by the Ngoma Soundsystem (Ngoma is Swahili meaning drums, dance, and song) for Germany's Fusion Festival earlier this summer 2008.

"if you've ever wondered what Digital Gamelan is like, what happens when Capetown Gospel singers relocate to London ghettos, or how Robots would play Ethiopian Jazz..."
....then give this mix an ear.
