Hail to the DJ




Eu vou sem nenhuma direcção,
E eu sou não preciso nada mais,
Lua, estrela, meu caminho meu destino,
Lua, sol, me dá o seu calor,
Chuva, o seu olhar,
Que me dá o seu calor, que me dá a direcção,
Que me dá o meu valor, que me dá o seu calor,
Eu vou eu vou, eu sou eu sou,
Eu vou eu vou, sem nenhuma direcção

They started off as just another D.C band, turned down several major labels only to sign up with ESL, were inspired by K&D and now freaking own the world. If you think DJ Kicks and Cosmic Game are the center of your existence then think again. Their accompanying live band throws such a drastic, embellishing twist to their signature "21st century lounge" style you can't NOT move to their music. Their music embodies what I believe is contemporary world music in this day and age. Only they can fuse together the seductive sound of a sitar, the crisp beat of a doumbek, a tabla, a Brazilian vocalist and mix it all up with dub-reggae to give you a rare strand of downtempo music that could easily find common ground amogst dope pushers, sober listeners, trip-hoppers and me:)
