Buddha Bar 6 - CD 1 - 08 - Ryukyu Underground - Kanasando (Rebirth Remix)

a few years ago , i was fortunate to meet nickodemus, a producer/ dj f new york. i'd been a big fan of his ever since i heard a remix of ustad sultan khan that he had done for a cd called essential elements. then cleopatra in new york, another classic tune of his.  from there to meet , i expressed interest in wanting to work with him on something.  he had just finished sun people album and proposed sending me stems for a song from that album, i then worked with nervous fervor to try and make a great remix for him, but i have to say , i choked a bit. too much pressure on myself and what i gave him i was pleased with but not super happy.  he graciously accepted the mix and release on his remix album.   ok fine, but i still was not happy with it.  a year later after working on a national geographic project for a year i was primed and in shape ( creatively)  and i decided to tackle it again. it was two months to my first us show at symbiosis and i knew nico would be there too, what you are hearing in this trk is the second exploration of this amazing trk.  the idea of bringing good vibrations of peace to the middle east is the direction my intentions went while building this mix. a reflection of the beauty and sadness of the cultures in that part of the world....enjoy!!!

	Ryukyu Underground is Keith Gordon and Jon Taylor. The two met in Okinawa Japan in the fall of 1998, both shared an interest in Okinawan music, contemporary dance music and an occasional night on the town. Strangely, on their first meeting both told each other of a vision they each had individually had, to create a musical project which incorporated elements of the Okinawan sound into contemporary electronic and dance music.

Ryukyu Underground is the result: a combination of traditional melodies and textures of Okinawan music mixed with elements of ambient, drum'n'bass, hip-hop, jungle, dub, and electronica. The result is a musical champuru - the Okinawan word for mixture, so important in the culture and society of contemporary Okinawa - but a champuru with a decidedly modern sound and a club sensibility. They signed to Tokyo based Respect Records and released their debut CD in the Spring of 2002.

In the following years they have released 3 more studio albums and a remix album with remixes of their tracks by such artists as Karsh Kale, Junkie XL, Da Lata and Kid Loco. They also contributed a track to the ‘Rough Guide to Okinawa” compilation CD released through World Music Network and have appeared on three Buddha Bar compilations They have remixed tracks for Miyazawa, Karsh Kale, Yuri Chika and Uru amongst others, . They have also composed music for a series of educational DVDs.
