Remixing… the art of reworking, of breaking it down and building it again, yet with a different mind, with different ideas and different sounds. For six months between 2003 and 2004, MCD WORLD MUSIC and ELECTRONICSECENE.com have promoted the Atman remix contest. At the contest website, participants were able to download the individual audio channels from Atmans Eternal Dance CD tracks. With this in hand, artists from around the world created their remixes and sent them back to the same website. Tracks presented on this double CD set stood out for their quality and originality. On CD1, India Club, indian instruments and voices mixes with the more danceable genres of electronic music like Deep House and Drum & Bass. On CD 2, India Lounge, its time for Ambient and Lounge to incorporate the Indian flavors to its forms and textures. On both, experimental and conventional coexist in harmony creating a flow of continuous interest.

Artist Bio:

It was dance that first introduced Andrew Vasquez to performance and to the flute. Andrew toured the world as a solo traditional dancer with the New York based American Indian Dance Theater from 1986 to 1991. Andrew's travels have taken him throughout the United States and to Canada, Egypt, Italy, Germany, Jordan, Bahrain, Quatar, Yeman, Japan, Australia, Austria, France, Morocco, Monaco, Greece, Algeria, Belgium, Malaysia and England. While on tour with the dance theater, Andrew made a trade for his first flute. He was soon taken by the instrument and began to develop his own style and eventually, his own compositions. His songs are composed with a well-defined reverence and respect. He considers all flute playing a cultural contribution.
