Dissidenten are a German rock band known for their collaborations with Middle Eastern and Indian musicians, and once described by Rolling Stone as 'the Godfathers of World Beat'. The group comprises Friedo Josch (b 21 July 1952, Mainz, wind instruments, keyboards), Uve Müllrich (b 7 December 1947, Binz, bass, guitar, vocals), and Marlon Klein (b 13 December 1957, Herford, drums, keyboards, vocals).
Bringing the electronic bass music vibe to the yoga scene, and the sounds of yoga to the electronic dance scene, Desert Dwellers’ global sounds are the bridge between worlds. Joining solid groove with sounds of serenity, their signature aesthetic feels as natural on the dance floor as it does after hours or on the mat. Due in no small part to Desert Dwellers’ pioneering spirit, the very concept of chill-out and sacred bass music has expanded dramatically.
The Dhol Foundation is both a dhol drum institute in London and a musical group playing bhangra music. The dhol school was founded in 1989 by former Alaap member Johnny Kalsi when several musicians asked him to be their teacher, and a first album was released by Kalsi and his students in 2001 . Dhol drums are a traditional percussion instrument from the Punjab province in the north of India, from which Kalsi originates. In London he experimented with dance beats and electronic music, which he mixes with the traditional bhangra style in his albums.
