I truly can’t remember the last time I got so absorbed into a track and right off the bat. So much soo that I decided to turn off all the lights in my room as I write this entry. Just so the darkness of this tune completely sets in. You’ll understand once you press play.

This is Dub Sharma and Vocalist Jeetu Ramachandra giving you the darkest cry of a lover that i’ve ever heard.

PO PO is an Indie Rock group from Philadelphia/Los Angeles signed on the Mad Decent Label. The PoPo bros aka  Zeb and Shoaib made this mixtape while touring with sleigh bells last month. The sound of POPO is primarily indie rock/grunge but at times they deliver some solid asian inspired experimental noise. Currently working on their LP with Diplo and Ariel Rechtshaid (who previously produced for Foreign Born) you can expect a ground-breaking release soon. But until then grab their 2010 summer mixtape here.

Exterior of Funky Buddha Lounge in Chicago

Vintage Interior of Funky Buddha Lounge

On Friday, July 30th, Janaka Selekta performed at Chicago’s Bhangratheque, a rock solid bhangra infused night thats been pushing strong for 4 years now. Each Bhangratheque venue is customized to the artist, so with Janaka arriving to chi-town, the venue had to give off an exotic and smooth feel to compliment his music. The solution the Funky Buddha Lounge (shown above)

Here is a track specifically created for Bhangratheque. And I think Taamara’s voice and Janaka’s grooves filling this room would have been a wonderful experience. So for all those who made it and those that didn’t heres your chance to relive it with a free download.
