FUSION 2: ancient illbient [REVISED]

It seems that the perfectionist in me is not above going back to a finished project and making revisions if he is not completely happy with it. (i can't believe the asshole either) So here we have a 15% improved Fusion 2, with 1 song taken out, 1 song added (to the fiery North African section in the middle), some edits in various places, and altogether better flow. -- all links updated Jan 05 2011
Traditional and contemporary music from 5 continents, 25 countries, mashed up, refixed, and dubbed out.

Whereas the first volume was Global Dubstep and Grime, this one clocks in at 105 BPM and explores uptempo hiphop-ish and dancehall-esque beats. The mood is on the cloudy side with some ominous moments -- there is a sunny volume at this tempo coming up, and further down the road, a collection of dark and menacing dungeon soundtracks.

The Fusion series is more for listening compared to the dancefloor heat of NGOMA, but there are certainly some bangers in here for you to get real jiggy or scrunch up your face to, alongside more tripped out and lyrical numbers.

Some DJs put out the minimum or less...and then there is DJ Zhao. I mean, take a look at the tracklist. Mongolian throat singing mashed up with an electronic track from Spain? The breadth of tracks is something else and then to top it off they are all mashed up with another song or at least edited, making it unique from the originals. Amazing.

Thank you for the awesome mix! It sounds great!
