Here is an amazing mix from the gifted and talented Producer/DJ Quantic. This is essentially a mix performed live during the Timeless Mulatu Astatke event last year in Los Angeles. Featuring various records bought during his 2004 trip to Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, this also marks the beginning for getting Mulatu Astatke to Los Angeles years later to be a part of last year’s Timeless event series. This Quantic mix is being released in celebration of the Timeless DVD Box Set release featuring Mulatu Astatke, Arthur Verocai, and Suite for Ma Dukes. [Synergy Works LLC]

In “Hear the World,” Eric Coleman (Mochilla), mixes the very best musical moments of the year into one completely exclusive mix CD taken from the recordings made.
