You know when you are finding a direction with your music, and you find someone who is doing what you are trying to do and much better for that matter. Boddhi Satva, for me is such a producer. Many of you will be familiar with his work but I cannot write a house blog without mentioning this man who has been such a big influence on my production.
Hailing from Central African Republic, he has created a genre of house music called "ancestral soul" which is sort of a cross between deep house and traditional african rhythms. As well as collaborating with traditional African singers such as Oumou Sangare of Mali (it blew my mind when I first heard her "Worotan" album in 1996 - her first worldwide release - btw if anyone has the parts to Djorolen, I would love to do a remix!).
Check out Ngnari Knonon which BBE were quick to pick up!
Also of note are his takes on RnB and soul music which he has called Ancestral Soul Interpretations. Featuring his own takes on artists from Frank Ocean to Rihanna, he brings a whole new repertoire of tracks to the table - and all for FREE!!! Good on him, good on us for sharing it, good on you for checking it out - good on everybody.

Recently picked up by Louie Vega of MAW, this DJ/producer is headed for the big time. Let's hope great things come for Boddhi Satva in 2013.
