I came across this earlier on Soundcloud. Some familiar names to me in the tracklist but quite a few I don't know of, and it's quite mindblowing stuff. Really laidback vibes, with meaty basslines and ambient skanks. It's got loads of Indian instrumentation, which coupled with rootsy dub, spacial quirks, and blissful pads makes this mix a perfect journey for any time of day. So a big thanks to Indra for mixing this fine selection.. and here's some words & tracklist taken from her myspace.

::TRACKLIST::

INTRO:

I. Ross Daly – Hatif (played by Linsey Pollak) In Arabic, the word hatif refers to the spirits of dead poets who inhabit the desert and entice travellers with their song, causing them to lose their way. This piece was composed by Ross Daly and the haunting wind instrument heard in the beginning of the piece is none other than a small plastic watering pot converted into a musical instrument and played by Linsey Pollak.

II. Leon Danezos (Alcalica) on santoor

A very old instrument, the santoor is possibly the ancient Psalterion or Epigonio. Its name is possibly from the Persian santour or santir. Its shape is trapezoid, with a sound box of 4-5cm in length and measures 50-65cm in width or 100cm in length. On the top of the sound box, the strings are located in 2, 3 or 4th, tuned in tafto phonia. The bass strings are single. There are also two kavalli that divide the instrument into two parts. On the first part, the strings are tuned according to the diatonic scale; while on the other, the strings are tuned according to the chromatic scale.It has 100-140 strings and produces 30-32 notes. The high strings are made of bronze or steel, and the bass strings are made of copper. It has 7 contrabass strings with a range of 3 octaves. It starts from f-contrabass and ends in b. It is played by using two mallets that have thread or cotton at the end so they can produce a soft sound. It is an instrument of accompaniment. It is made of pine or walnut wood. In Greece, Tasos Diakogiorgis is a famous teacher and the best player of the santouri.
