Music
I HAVE BEEN A HUGE LED ZEPPELIN FAN SINCE I WAS A KID AND THERE ARE LOADS OF STRANGE & PERSONAL BUT WONDERFUL CONNECTIONS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS BAND PURELY BY ACCIDENT OR KISSMET!
IT IS THRU THE ORIGINAL ZEPPELIN (NOT UN-LEDDED) THAT I DISCOVERED ARABIC MUSIC & A WHOLE LOTTA BLUES & MORE!
I ALSO ADORE TOM WAITS.
MONSIEUR CLAUDE CHALLE IS THE DJ WHO MOST INSPIRED & INFLUENCED ME TO START DJ'ING, WITHOUT HIM I MAY NEVER HAVE STARTED DJ'ING!
I HAD TO PERSONALLY MENTION THE ABOVE 3 LEG-ENDS AS THEY HAVE HAD SUCH A HUGE INFLUENCE IN MY LIFE.
I LOVE ANYTHING ELSE THAT MOVES ME AND IS BEAUTIFUL OR WITH A GREAT GROOVE....ANY GENRE...ANY TYPE...BUT IF IT HAS SOME SORT OF ETHNIC INFLUENCE THEN THAT GRABS MY ATTENTION ALMOST IMMEDIATELY ...BUT AS LONG AS IT'S BRILLIANT THEN THAT WILL DO!

LINER NOTES BY PHIL MEADLEY
GLOBAL ELEKTRO is an high-octane road trip that careers through continents, from the beaches of Rio to the plazas of Rome, soaking in the spicy flavours of the Beirut maghreb, and vibrant, bustling street life of Calcutta. It cruises down the Panama canal, and arrives at the Mexican border dusty, exhausted, but euphoric..........

The project features new full-length originals and remixes with 100% home-made beats by yours truly. You can download it directly from our page or copy and paste the following link into a new window to download the project (if you just click on it myspace will tell you it's a phony link).http://usershare.net/opuhxlfsn6q2 Enjoy and if you dig it please pass it along.
