DJ Darren~July Peace Through Music

Summer is here and, if you haven't started already, the Time is Now for Activation! Go on a hike, play in your garden, do some yoga, march in a one-person parade, go on a run, roll down a hill, dance the night away...

Bhakti Bazaar by Jai Uttal~"Come visit the 'bhakti bazaar' where the only currency is love"...with the vocals of Jai Uttal and Tina Malia, the flute of Manose and multi-instrumentalist Ben Leinbach. My fave chanting CD in the store!

Playing for Change v. 1 & 2 by Various Artists~Playing for Change is a multimedia music project, to bring together musicians from around the world. Playing For Change also created a separate non-profit organization called the Playing For Change Foundation which builds music schools for children around the world. Some of the most heartfelt, incredible music you will ever hear.

Heart & Soul by the Kirtaniyas~ Awesome, high-energy, traditional East Indian chant music. This CD is kirtan at it's finest. Not to be missed!

Drum Cargo: Rhythms of Water by Dave & Steve Gordon~Feel the pulsating energy of water with these awesome beats. Gentle, yet active, soothing, yet engaging. Also including the sounds of Native American flutes.

Rhythms of the Infinite by John de Kadt~Expand your consciousness with rhythms, grooves and percussive beats featuring sitar, esaraj, bansuri flute, guitar, fretless bass, and the phenomenal, high vibe-ing hang drum.

Elevation by Lawson Rollins~Lush soundscapes "rich with moments of both intensity and spaciousness", featuring musical talent from Nepal, Iran and the US, and world music from the Middle East, Spain and East India. Lawson's guitar stylings are flawless.

No matter your intent, keep yourself groovin' all summer long...

Om Shanti
