Before there will be a new Flying Sparks mix set (soon), here a flashback to one from October 2009: At that time I searched my vinyls to prepare a party and found the following. I hope, you’ll like the mix set between Funk, Big Beats, mashups, Bollywood and Global Beats and with some references to film classics.
The musical trip starts in the East (not the Middle nor the Far East), but in the eastside of Germany, because there is a really cool soundtrack of an espionage TV series (Das unsichtbare Visier) from the late 60′s. After that we listen to some Hollywood classics (Getaway, Get Carter, Enter The Dragon, Shaft), get some tunes from Egypt, Morocco, Bollywood, Peru, and Brazil. Finally, we come back to Europe and listen to some Asian dubstep tracks from the UK.
Please note, the mix set is split into two parts. The break is after the Letta Mbulu classic What Is Wrong With Groovin’?
. If anybody has an answer to this, she/he can message me…
