Overview There we have it; the ouroboros has finally eaten its tail and concluded its tale. After 4 years of continuous research and presentation, I have arrived at a point that I need to terminate my monthly operations with Ethnofusion blog. Since July 2014, I went on a mission to ...

Stoked to bring you September’s Ethnofusion Picks which proved to be, arguably, our most in-depth month to date. Tune in for the largest variety of electronic world fusion music you’ll find anywhere on the internet; that’s deep Middle Eastern dubstep, Balkan neuro, a South African / Russian merger, Afrobeats from ...

The ending of this August marks the second full solar cycle that I’ve been writing this monthly blog.

In this process, I’ve also tried to conquer some of my pre-conceived ...

Glad to present another juicy jam-packed edition of Ethnofusion picks for all those who have also tuned into this realm of world music. This month is specifically exciting as I’ve decided to introduce a measure of rating to better express my thoughts on why features are chosen. Read on to uncover ...

YAHNA – Paraphilia Taken from an unexpectedly good album by this rather underground artist; a project that sounds highly atmospheric and experimental, with plenty of interesting foley twists to it. Sitting somewhere between instrumental hip-hop produced by The Alchemist’s poltergeist, the sound of time if traversed on a reverse axis, ...

Overview After listening to over 6000 releases, handpicking around 290 for reviews and squeezing the most essential juice into this editorial concoction, I (Baxtak) am proud to present Outtallectuals’ top Ethnofusion releases of 2016: Over the course of 2016, I made it a mission to discover as much music as ...

Dirtwire – Viento (feat. Maria Del Pilar) The opening of these pair of ears to Dirtwire this year has been nothing but spectacular. Breathing professionalism into each track as the vibes sip through every note of the band’s music, the supergroup is back with Viento; an organic and ethereal mid-tempo ...

Ethnic Dub / Trap / Bass Liquid Bloom x Numatik – Stand with Us (ft. Yona FrenchHawk & David Brown) This month, again, we open the blog with a call to prayer, from Liquid Bloom (Amani Friend of Desert Dwellers), various remixing producers, and most importantly, elders from the indigenous ...

This month marks the 12th month of discoveries through this blog, meaning that now I have spent a whole year, listening to what seems like +10000 candidates to create these playlists. There are a couple of directions this can take, and I urge you to get in touch with me ...

Outtallectuals is late with this month’s delivery of Ethnofusion picks for July due to the writer being away on the road in this seasonal high time of gigs and other nature-related outdoor goodness. Perhaps it’s not professional but it’s human so for anyone who might be pissed off for getting ...

We are here again, yet another month to be alive, another chance to listen to good underground music and uncover some of the fattest headphone and sound system bumps of the months. This month’s psydubhop section has indeed been buzzing and many of our favourite artists and labels have been ...

Streamer – Last Sacrifice (Bandish Projekt Remix feat. Aishwarya Joshi) Almost certainly the dopest ethnofusion track I will hear this month. Both Streamer and Bandish Projekt have shown their worth on this blog before and this month, they have perhaps topped themselves. What we have here is ethno neuro bass ...

I’d like to bring your attention to another edition of Ethnofusion while I convince myself that blogging is still alive, my opinion matters, I can still use words and phrases to describe music in innovative ways, and most importantly, I find dank ethnic bass music. This week, I have the ...
