You know what you don’t hear very often when you go out in Seattle… Tribal House.  Yes, there are so many subgenres within subgenres, and you might be asking what is Tribal House.

This mix is packed with some FUEGO Tribal House cuts with rhythmic steel drums, amipiano melodies, and heavy drops.  

The ideal way to listen to this mix: you have had 2-3 mojitos, you are either on a rooftop or on a beach, and you are ready to dance.

Welcome to the Jungle

Original(ish) Set from Caravan at Kremwork(Seattle, WA 11/19/22). 

I didn't have the chance to record it live, so I re-created the set and added a bunch of additional heaters.

A note from the creators of Caravan:

"World music is genre-fluid & promotes inclusivity, accessibility, and overall respect for one another. You don't need to know the instruments or the language to understand its meaning and appreciate its beauty. This appreciation sparks cultural curiosity and investigation. It’s a concept that brings us all together, and it's a dream we want everyone to feel included in."

DJ KP - Caravan Mix

Grateful for the Silk Road Crew for having me again for another installment of "Caravan".  This Seattle event has been bubbling for the last year and each time I go it gets better and better.  

Expect more big things from that crew and maybe another appearance from me at a future night.

This is just a 13-minute snippet from my 1-hour set.  As usual, I took a big left turn and threw in some baile funk and amapiano.

July, 2023 Caravan Snippet

This is way overdue.  I hit up Burning Man for the first time this year, and it was quite the experience.  I could go on and on, but I will stick to the music.  

I set up 6 gigs in advance out there, and I felt like that might have been too much. Turns out it rained, and I was only able to do 2.5 sets.  

Here is a little snippet from my first set.  It was on an art car that wanted a bunch of baile edits and Latin bass music... which is right up my alley.

Baile Hype

As someone who has been to Monkey Loft at least 100 times, playing my own set has been at the top of my mind for at least 3-4 years, and it finally happened on 8/14/24. 

Big ups to the Silk Road crew for having me for their Caravan takeover of the loft stage.  

This is one of my favorite sets because it reminds me of that night. 
So many of my friends were in the crowd dancing. I met a bunch of new people who showed me a lot of love; even the door girl was like, "We need more of this sound here." 

For the set, it’s a little tour of my favorite South American genres, starting with Latin Tech House, Brazilian House, and Latin House and finishing with some Favela Trap.

Monkey Loft (Caravan Takeover)

For the last few years, I kept hearing about APOG, but every year I wasn’t able to go.  This year, the timing was perfect, and found out my guy was the lead for the sound at Wildwood.  My set was Saturday at 3 am with full support from Caravan and Silk Road Crew.

This was my first time playing under the alias Turmeric Drip and the first time playing a festival.  Big shoutout to the entire APOG team and volunteers for all their hard work.  I was extremely impressed at how well thought out everything was and all the attention to detail.   

I normally don’t get emotional for sets, but this was one was different.  I was very intentional about that songs and tried to create an international journey of the music thats always running through my mind at any time.  There were highs, there were lows, there were African drums, Brazilian vocals, and Indian classics.  Rather than keeping one energy, I danced around different tempos and vibes, the same way my mind thinks.  

After the set I had a few people come up to me saying that my set was their favorite of the weekend or this set is exactly what I needed at this moment.  It was rewarding to get that feedback and for people to understand what I was intending to do with my set.  

APOG 2025… what a time.  I do things only twice.  I’ll be back next year FOR SURE with more spice.

Turmeric Drip - APOG 2025 Wildwood Set

Yoooooo... so I have been getting a lot more traffic to my website (www.dj-kp.com) and many prospective customers have been asking for music samples.  The main mix I have on my page is mainly a Bollywood mix and people have been asking for more of a Punjabi Mix.  

This mix is not very long but just a quick promotional Punjabi/Bhangra mix to share with prospective customers to give them a sense of my style.  I have plans on making a full Punjabi Fusion mix with the new Punjabi and Hip Hop songs so be on the lookout for that.

Here is the tracklist for this mix:

Gippy Grewal - Patt Lainge
Gurnam Bhullar - Udhaar Chalda
Sharry Maan - Saade Aala
Jaz Dhami - Aivtaar
Diljit - Tommy
Diljit - Gulabi Peg
Gurnam Bhullar - Diamond
Mickey Singh - YTL
Sunada Sharma - Jaani Tera Naa Songs
Guru Randhawa - Lahore
Guru Randhawa - Slowly Slowly

Punjabi Promo Mix

This quarantine thing is starting to get real old... 

For me, I keep trying to remind myself that when this is all over, I will be able to travel the world, go out with friends, and dance at live concerts.   In lieu of what is going on in the world, I decided to work on a series of international mixes.  The idea/goal is to let the music take you on a journey beyond your quarantine space.  

Put down your stress and shake your anxiety.  Give yourself a break and sit back and let the music take over.

Quarantine Vibes

Quarantine No. 1

I don't even know what week of Quarantine it is anymore.  I have been dj'ing/live streaming/messing around a lot during this time.  It is great to get a break from everything and get back into what makes me the happiest, MUSIC. 

This mix is a tribute to the ‘Alte' sound that I love.  This is an emerging genre coming out of West Africa and is slowly spreading throughout the world.  Most people consider West African music to be afro-pop or afro-beat, and the majority of it is.  However, alternative West African music aka 'Alte' is that new new.
