World Domination 6

I've always built these the same way a good night out actually works — you don't open at full speed and you don't end there either. You find an entry point, let the room warm up, push it somewhere it didn't know it was going, then bring it back down so nobody feels mugged on the way out. This pick does exactly that, and if you listen straight through you'll feel it in your legs before you figure out what's happening. Fifteen tracks, half a dozen languages I can't speak, corners of the map I've never been to, and it all fits together like it was always supposed to. That's the whole point of this World Domination series. That has always been the whole point. One hundred and three tracks in and I'm still not done taking over.

World Domination 5

I’ve spent enough nights at SOB’s in NYC to know that "Sounds of Brazil" was always a convenient misnomer for a much wider, deeper kind of global friction. I’d sit there with those big bottles of Xingu black beer, bracing for the long taxi ride back and the inevitable late-night mess—usually involving me holding back some girl’s hair while she puked in my hotel bathroom. It was a gritty, high-fidelity education in how a relentless beat can occupy a space and the people in it. This latest pick for my ongoing quest for world domination is built on that same infectious, earth-shaking stomp. Just the kind of high-velocity rhythmic authority that doesn't need a translator to take over a room. Turn it up; the occupation has officially entered its next phase.

World Domination 4

Another World Domination pick. The only rule has always been the same one — would it work on the dancefloor? This time I went looking at Western bands who heard African rhythms, Caribbean beats and Asian music and just couldn't help themselves. The result fits right alongside the previous World Domination picks. I have little idea what half of it means and I still don't care, as long as it moves your feet it's in. I still think this would make a great radio station (or maybe a club night). Tell me what you would add or leave off.

World Domination 3

This is a continuation of my World Domination series. See the previous ones for a description if you need one. I'm sure you will hear what this pick is all about as you listen to any of them. Not any specific part of the world, but there is a theme going through this. They are all danceable tracks. I'm not exactly looking for authenticity as if I was an archivist of music from around the world. I'm not, but I can listen to the beat and see if it moves my feet. Pretty much most all of this does. That it moves around the world is just the side connection.

World Domination 2

Taking a break from the Soul Sizzle series I have a pick of what I call my world domination picks. I always thought this would make a great radio station. All danceable tracks from around the world. It is the one thing in common with these tracks. It's not the genres which are all around the world. I looked for songs with a dance beat. Frankly I have little idea what all the lyrics mean, so they could all be saying that I am a lazy fatboy or worse. Maybe you know one or two, but you probably don't know them all. But in a club (or in your house or car) it is hard to ignore the infectious rhythms. I am working on a few more so tell me your ideas for more of this.

World Domination (repost)

This is a repost of a compilation playlist of various dance music from around the world. There's no rhyme or reason, except that I thought it had a danceable beat. We have all sorts of genres here, Reggae, Salsa, Soca, Bhangra, Rai and more. Music from the Americas, India. Africa, France, Yemen and much more. What's exciting to me is that this disparate music all kind of fits and flows. Be interesting to see what choices you would make. Leave a comment on what you would add or leave off this Pick. I would love to program a radio station to do a format like this. Top forty style DJ's with this music playing in rotation. I still think this is a great radio format. I would now add some zydeco and ska.
