Silk Road Secret Agents: A High-Speed Magic Carpet Ride

11.28.23

Mediterranean marauders, Saharan spies, Bengal buccaneers, assemble! Join the Silk Road Secret Agents as we meander through the legendary trade routes connecting Asia and Africa with Europe via The Middle East, sewing a rich tapestry of musical heritage as we go. We will rely on sound waves, realized from thousands of years of cultural exchange, to disrupt conventional perspectives and diffuse critical intel behind often elusive recordings. Flaring film scores, squelching psych odysseys, infernal disco fevers and more will be at your disposal so meet us at the epicenter of the Old World. Requirements include enthusiasm for iconoclasm and reliable sonic transportation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Travel faster than the speed of sound on a two-hour magic carpet ride from Tokyo to Tangier, and listen to the syncretic beauty of deep folk traditions fused with global dance music trends of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. These international deep-cuts of disco, funk, surf, psych, and synth will lead you on a border-hopping excursion of the Far East, West Asia, The Levant and North Africa in Silk Road Secret Agent fashion; together they embody our core belief that music holds the key to raising arms together instead of against each other. Let these irresistible rare grooves serve as a beacon against imperialism, genocide, and all forms of sociopolitical tyranny while also being our invitation for you to join us in the just cause of musical liberation for all people.
