Sitar theme yoga mix by Dubtrak on Mixcloud

Description:

In this, fourth, installment of Mixes for Yoga, sitar is in the spotlight.
Classical Indian sounds of sitar by Anoushka Shankar and George Koller start off this mix before any beats are introduced. Well known downtempo tracks by Thievery Corporation and Bombay Dub Orchestra take the mix slowly in more upbeat direction, where number of ethno-trance tracks pick up the pace and energize the flow. Among them, there is an interesting sitar cover of Rolling Stones hit "Paint it Black" by Kaleidoscope Jukebox. Another Anoushka Shankar's track brings back serenity into the mix while closing classic sitar + tanpura raga allows for relaxing Savasana. Enjoy!

Just a quick note:

"Mixes for Yoga" have now a home on iTunes (under Podcasts).

Each mix posted on this blog will have two links, direct download and an iTunes link.

Some new content has also been added to both, Meditation and Zen Quotes page.

Much more to come soon...

Here we go! So, this is the inaugural post with the very first mix called "Easy Groover Yoga Mix". It should pretty much set up a pattern of how these mixes will be done. The dynamic flow may change from mix to mix, depending on the mix's theme but I will usually try to incorporate a healthy dose of both, established artists and lesser known musicians, producers and DJs whose music is posted on sites like SoundCloud.
