Featured Songs:
The song "The Hidden Agent" is from Blend Miskin's 2023 album The Lost Continent, a collaborative effort with the virtuoso kanun player Panos Dimitrakopoulos. The kanun is an Middle Eastern stringed instrument with a rich history in Greece and Asia Minor. With its blend of electronic beats and ancient melodies "The Hidden Agent" is an enchanting instrumental blend of world, jazz, ambient, dub, and traditional music.
“Mirror City Riddim” is an instrumental track recorded with Athenian musician Panos Dimitrakopoulos, whose kanun, a traditional Middle Eastern plucked zither, provides the melodic core. Downtempo electronic grooves anchor the Club Putumayo track while the kanun winds through the arrangement with a looping, hypnotic intensity. The result sits somewhere between dub, world music, and cinematic funk, grounded in the ancient and charged with contemporary energy.
