A party without borders! Mixed by DJ Rafadelic: Cosmic Perspective. This Rafadelic mix full of cross-pollination makes the listener dwell in five continents at a time. A good share of funky electronics with generous ethnic influences!
There is new music by Flamingods (photograph) from Bahrein, which uses instruments from countries such as Nepal, Turkey, Japan and Tanzania. We also have less recent releases such as the downtempo classic ‘Opium Shuffle’ by Death in Vegas.
In the second part of this 29 track mix, Asian influences win ground with beautiful laidback Funk by (among others) David Starfire, Thomas Blondet, Masaladosa & Fort Knox Five.

Rafadelic has been working as a DJ and producer since the 90’s. He has been bringing a unique set every time for connoiseurs at dance parties, cultural events and festivals under various names. From exquisit jazz to solid electronic beats and from pure roots to worldly cross-pollination. With the use of his own beats, samples and re-edits Rafadelic summarizes his search for ‘essential sounds’ time and again.
