i got to travel a lot in north africa in the last years thru touring with blitz the ambassador and the studio session with oddisee for sawtuha in tunisia. while being there i did some digging and found some incredible music from the 60s and 70s. some of the music in this mix has zero info on the net, was never sold on ebay and has not been "rediscovered" yet. others are somewhat classics in the field of „arabic groove“. the music in this mix comes from morocco, libya, eggpt, algeria, lebanon and syria.

"Habibi Funk 002 Mix" by Jannis of Jakarta Records (Mix of Arabic 60s & 70s vinyl)

Break-up tune I wrote in 2009.  I like the beach images, which I took from visits to Nahant and Revere Beaches in Massachusetts.

Blue Line Train

During long, dreamy night drives with my parents in Illinois and Indiana, I would often hear music in my head as a boy.  This song came with a vivid and emotional memory, which is a good place to start writing.

Written on a visit to visit my dear friend Jonathan in Pittsburgh in 2008.  Was going thorough a rough break up.  I like the self-revealing vulnerability of the chorus.
