A modern blend of ancient party music with human beatbox, electronics, a taste of traditional middle eastern flavor, and a mouthful of NYC style.
We hope you enjoy listening and dancing to our music as much as we do playing it. Here are what some of our fans are saying:
"Provides inspiration for aspiring artists, musical or otherwise. Allows for stretching the imagination to the limit. Djinn - yeah, they are."
"Some of the songs in this album are so good they can actually induce orgasm. Brooklyn balady transports me to a past life... "
