Barzin

Barzin is a Canadian singer-songwriter named Barzin Hosseini. Slow and melancholic, introspective and confessional: These words in some ways describe the sound of Barzin. A project that began sometime in 1995, Barzin was a solo endeavor at its inception. But somewhere along the way it shed its solitary skin allowing a wide array of characters into it’s sound. From amongst a rotating cast of musicians, who occasionally made appearances on recordings and at performances, three individuals slowly became a fixture of this project.

Kobi

There are 2 Artists with the name Kobi: 1) KoBi is the main moniker of Lou Wood, a.k.a Syntheme (Planet Mu/ WeMe Records) At only 23, she is fast becoming an “ACID legend” (Boomkat) and RubaDub have called her music “top stuff that will please anyone who isn’t a po-faced goon who doesn’t like having fun”. Her tunes feature sophisticated acid and bass lines upon solid drum sequences, ambient soft synth layers, and occasionally heavily-edited audio samples. She brilliantly fuses very fresh sounds with the robust and harmonic foundation of 90s acid and techno.

Melodica, Melody and Me

This is from their Myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/mmmelodic), "Hello! We are Melodica, Melody & Me. Bringing you wholesome melodies and skanky drops.".
When I listen to them, I get an image of Bob Marley and Paul Simon leaning on a gate at woodstock while chewing a piece of straw and talking about tractors or something like that.... I have a weird imagination though..... but to sum it up I would kind of say hippie and reggae with an indie flow to it - very relaxed and chilled but with a rythm 'n beat and lyrics that draw you in.

Ganga Giri

Ganga Giri mixes red natural elements with fat tribal beats and dirty funky bass lines to create a unique tribal-technological deep earth dance experience. Explosive and pulsating, at times ambient and flowing, the music is a pumping percussive multi-layered experience of complex grooves and raw, deep natural sound. Ganga himself is a rhythmic didjeridu virtuoso and percussionist -- an inspired music creator whose passion brings people together in celebration of nowness in newness, a modern day corroboree for all!
