Hybridity - A Subversive Dance - N0mad23

I had to give this another listen. It still has the same effect on me when I first heard this a few years ago. I still dig that accordion. The spacial feel to the drums is great, you really filled up the entire stereo field.

It's good to go back and listen to some older tracks and be amazed at how great they still sound. Hope all is well!

Great tune !

Very echoey on some parts and very interesting. The track is a little bit worried for me on the singing, but the beat... nice.

LSD in musical form, you devious little nomad you ;-)

Seriously, this track is a trip, and a nice one at that. The ethnic athmosphere you have created would bring smiles to both Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert (aka, Baba Ram Das) as it does to me.

In the words of the trailer park boys, this track is F@$k&^g awesome.

niceeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey my friend

This is so totally amazing, wicked, taking you on a journey right from the very first note, lots going on but everything working so well, blown away matey, dont know what else to say, like I am transfixed to what is coming out of the speakers, mate I am in AWE of your amazing talent, clarity and arrangement are stunning, everything about this track is so first class...Fav'd...Peace and total respect man...Estefano...

you totally need to get yourself some kind of gig where you do music for tv shows and movie...your music has that much depth!

I like anything with an ethnic twist...that's all I can say. Dig the drum beat trance mood. The accordion goes well with the vocals. the fade in and out feel is hypnotic...the way us deep thinkers like it. Music is the new world order, not oppression. This made me feel the opposite of oppression.

wow... feels like I'm wandering in some hot district of a big cosmopolitan city!! Enjoyed it a lot! So many loops and sounds gathered here in a whole coherent awesome track. I like the intro when the accordion comes in, I like the vocals too, really well mixed up with the other instruments, I like the arrangement on the drums too... Actually I like everything in this track! Huge work thank you lots for sharing!

very very interesting sounds you play
strong arrangement....music like SOUNDS
yea amazing ! ! !

This piece is simply amazing. Lawrence Welk never played the accordion like that!
The use of percussion is brilliant. I was completely immersed in the music. It felt as if I were witnessing the live performance of a tribal nation in the midst of a grand celebration.

Great sound Sean!...It's interesting to note that "subversive" can only be perceived from a perceived position of morality,no doubt the missionary cadres of contemporary music will shake their heads in disbelief at this tune.......I can't escape the immediate Cajun like quality that the swirling accordion brings to this piece and nearly meta-morphs into a Hurdy Gurdy like phrase or what sounds like an amplified Clay stomach drum which powers the rhythm section..it's also interesting to note how well the vocals float on this groove(more about that later)...I'm always delighted to listen to the obvious and subtle nuances that your geographical youth has impressed upon you..it's like these experiences have gestated and are finally ruminated here in splendid examples of international musical cooperation......it's just plain funky to!....excellent work!..I need to get a real set of tablas(but am aware of how long it would take to master them,if ever)!..cheers Dave :)

Just can't get enough of this track at the moment.
Seems that diversity in design really is the key to unity.

A fusion of all sorts esoteric but inviting this track is really pulling, and speaks to you in a way that is saying, "come join us, come dance with us, join hands and take flight."

Man i just love this track and will be dancing to this one for days, i got to agree with Minette you are a genius and a visionary also

Brilliant work Sean, a serious piece of music you have created.

the build on the vocals.. with the edgy/staccato accordion. such a juxtaposition of organic and metallic. love the track - thanks so much for sharing. i have to agree with koukotsu on the melodic use of percussion - it really is such a stand-out feature of your music. you're a genius! i love the way you fuse so many different worlds together.

rock (fuse) on!

The first thing I noticed was the nice bass tones, sounds great. I am pleasently surprised at how nicely the accordian fits in. I had a predjudice in my head thinking of your great earthy beats with a cajon accordian. After the listen, boy was I off, lol, it was used creatively here, nice effects on it. I liked the vocal track too. Another keeper, thanks for sharing!

Wayne

and the journey through your mind continuous ....
and while I follow you, I write some of the keywords that belong to your music:
perfect, fantastic, great, awesome ... well you know ... ;-)

peace, rei

hey bud. havent checked in in awhile. just thought i would. nice track. always got that atmosphere you can't describe in your music man. but its always well done. great production!

Nice track! The different cultural elements dont clash at all but sound completely natural together. This is a little reminiscent of the Zawinul syndicate who also blended ethnicities in an unassuming way. Good stuff!

this is really good! i like how at first the tune just kinda wanders like its looking for something. then the vocal comes and snap everythings all dancing toghteher. love it! great job!

damn nomad. your so amazing when it comes to the fusion genre. everything you make is definently a banger, keep up the good work my friend. have a good day bro. PEACE.

those vocals fit perfect my dude

I love the chimes/bells work playing throughout. It reminds me a lot of Pantha Du Prince's tunes (if you haven't heard him, you should check some of his songs out. He makes really soothing techno/house often using chimes and bells to move his song forward or as a main component]. The melody with the accordian is great as well. The only slight problem for me was that the drums sound pretty muddy. Was that your intention with this? If not, I'd maybe space out the beats, or perhaps increase the volume just a bit. Oh, also love the use of the vocal. Anyway, in short, I like this. This is fusion you can chill to as well as dance to. Good job.
