Kali

There seems to be at least seven musicians/groups/sounds going by the name of Kali: 1. Fast thrashcore band from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. They've started playing shows around Alberta and have taken the scene by the throat, because they're so good (and usually good bands don't come from Red Deer). http://www.myspace.com/kalialberta 2. Martinican reggae/folk musician Kali (Jean-Marc Monnerville) was born in Fort-de-France in 1959.

Desert Dwellers

Bringing the electronic bass music vibe to the yoga scene, and the sounds of yoga to the electronic dance scene, Desert Dwellers’ global sounds are the bridge between worlds. Joining solid groove with sounds of serenity, their signature aesthetic feels as natural on the dance floor as it does after hours or on the mat.  Due in no small part to Desert Dwellers’ pioneering spirit, the very concept of chill-out and sacred bass music has expanded dramatically.
