Even though I've been sick, I wanted to put a show out for y'all, in honor of my successful move across the country, my utilities, internet and cable all being active & in working order (at last! XD), and in celebration of the great new place in which I find myself (with its marvelous bellydance community! :D).  With the move and everything going on -before- it, it's just been FAR too long since we've had a new show, so.. now that I finally can, I thought I'd whip up a joyous, up-tempo new ep of Eclectica. ^_^   (With plans of doing lots more on a far more regular basis in the coming months. ^_^)Featuring music from SoundClick.com, Ioda PormoNet and SoundCloud.com, whether you dance in the office, on the way to work, in a classroom, on stage or just in your livingroom, this show is sure to inspire a shimmy or two- even if you're not a regular dancer. ^_^  Full of happiness, excitement for today, gratitude for yesterday and hope for the future yet to come, this show is FULL of lively, energetic music.  Plus, with various dance styles in mind, it's also packed with diverse cultural  influences and musical styles, so I hope you'll join in the fun I had in making this. ^_^ If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Click here to play in a new tab, or right click "Save As" to download the full show- for free!Band Names = Links to each band's official web site, where available).Song Names = Links to where you can BUY each musician's work- LEGALLY.  :DBackground music:  MIDIval Punditz; - PiyaSetrak Sarkissian - Tigi Nigsim Il AmarSaïd Senhaji & Orchestra Zahra - ChitanaDJ Tomasc  - Chot n' Cold MixNiyaz - DilrubaSkarazula - Non Sofre Santa MariaLamajamal - Ish AdaniAlin Rogoz - Sweet and LovelyDJ Click - TziganieRabii - N'reservé ou NalheghaJoud - Ya AliSlonovski Bal - Hočemo Li U Šabac?Maroon Shaker - Spicy Dukkah            ♥Lastly, this episode. is also dedicated to our furry friends, who.. perhaps.. may appear in background noises of important recordings.. *cough* - enrich our lives with their endless love, and bring us countless joys, every single day.  To my 2 black kitties, I love you.  Thank you so much for taking this journey with me. ^_^  And to my dear little friend Migo, whom I just met over the Thanksgiving holiday, this is for you & your family, little man.  Thank you for being with us while on your journey, too..♥ ♥ ♥Now, kick off your shoes, take a deep breath, snag a gulp of water before you start.. and let's get ready to DANCE, 'cause there is soooo much in life worth celebrating!  ^_^Yours Forever In Song,--DJ Selchie♥☼♥

This episode is dedicated to the great Mr. Owain Phyfe, who has inspired me in so many ways since discovering his work now many, many moons ago.  The picture below is exactly how I remember him; the day I first plowed dreamy-eyed but determinedly through the VA Renaissance fair, to find out where that -enchanting- music was coming from.  And ever since, I have been positively captivated by his incredible voice, his passionate, unique creations, and his lyrical style.  To my knowledge, Mr. Phyfe was a self-taught musician, ancient & medieval linguist and surely, a scholar, and for that, he blows me away even more.Sadly, he passed this year due to pancreatic cancer, but his memory, through his artistry and pure, captivating music, will live on.  Thank you for your song, Mr. Phyfe.  You were the first and only real bard I think I've ever met, and you inspire me to this day.  ♥♥♥On a brighter note, I'd also like to give a shout-out to Madlenka, Bagoas, Mavi, Nina Amaya, and my other friends who're currently attending the Darbukastani Independence Days celebration this weekend. :D  I wish I could be with you all, but my hips are shimmying in time with your music and my spirit is with y'all, wherever we each may be. :) ♥♥♥..Now, on to the music!

Ladies and gentlemen, beautiful bois and grrls, I am INSANELY pleased to announce that THE FIRST NEW EPISODE OF ECLECTICA IS NOW OFFICIALLY ALIVE AND KICKING!!! ^_^In this first, brand new episode, the show is ALL about bellydance!  In fact, this show is dedicated to all the amazing dancers in my life, as well as every single amazing dancer out there; male or female, big or small, young, old, able-bodied or otherwise, who is moved and inspired by this incredible, empowering artform. ^_^  To every single one of you; you guys ROCK.  This is for you. ♥♥♥ ^_^-And in honor of that artform (which has basically, blessedly, eaten my brains ;)) I've structured this first show a little like a bellydance class- or a multi-faceted Middle Eastern Dance show. :D  So.. without further ado- here goes!  On with the show! ^_^ If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element (Click here to play in a new tab, or right click "Save As" to download the full show- for free!)Band Names = Links to each band's official web site- where available).Song Names = Links to where you can BUY each musician's work- LEGALLY.  :)Background music:  TsG TrIB - GsY MixDeirdre Flint - Introduction to BellydancingShanghai Restoration Project - Babylon of the OrientBeats Antique (featuring LYNX) - She's Looking for SomethingThe Glitch Mob - Drive it Like You Stole It (Mixtape Version)Solace - BounceBrothers Of The Baladi - Nebtidy M'nain El Hakiah(Where Do We Begin Our Story?)Michael Beach - La Casa De Malfouf (The Malfouf Rhythm)Arabesque - Rak's en NarSchmoolik & DeScribe - Modern Day Moses(The Stolen Casios Remix)Pentaphobe - I Cash RadiiDJ Tomasc - Romica StepDead Can Dance - The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove♥The first portion is stuff to get your ears intrigued, your blood pumping, and your body eager to MOVE. ^_^  The second portion is more directly inspired by Eastern and Middle Eastern music, (which some associate more with Cabaret-style bellydance).  And the last segment offers music with a more modern twist, but still touches of various types of Eastern influences.  (Think more Tribal & Fusion inspired work. :))  Each part of the show was designed to flow well from one section to another (so you may notice a little blending or overlap of styles at the edges of each segment at times).  But no matter what style or section of the show you're listening to, I hope it ALL makes you wanna dance- move, shimmy & strut- even if you've never taken a SINGLE bellydance class. ;D  (And if you like what you hear, srsly, go out and BUY this stuff from the musicians.  Every little bit helps to support new and interesting music to be made by these awesome and often unsung artisans of audio! :D)Of course future episodes of Eclectica will have all KINDS of other music interspersed within, but as bellydance has become such a HUGE part of my life, you'll find a good many of the shows from here on out featuring music that'll make you wanna shake your money-maker in all KINDS of marvelous ways.. ;D  -And to those who fear the show will -just- be Middle Eastern from now on, FEAR NOT!  Songs of -all types- make me want to get up and dance- be they fast, slow, Jazz, Folk, Blues, Rock, Pop, and on and on, so whether a show is bellydance-inspired or not, Eclectica will -still- be Eclectic- and feature all KINDS of great music. ^_^And of course, this is just the start of the coolness I have in store for future episodes of Eclectica, so if you like what you hear, please, let me hear from you! ^_^  Feedback from listeners means SO MUCH to us li'l indie podcasters (as it lets us know that our music is being heard), so every little bit of interaction counts more than you could possibly know. :)  (And since we appreciate it so much, we're also more likely to get back to you with responses, which is not something always experienced w/the bigger, more fancy types of entertainment media. ;))  Plus, as this is also a proving ground to see whether or not the show will continue (and if so, in what direction), the more feedback I get from you, the better the show will likely be! :D (Plus- the more likely that the show will be tailored to you. ;D)  So if you have any comments, questions, thoughts, ideas, suggestions, or concerns, please drop on by and leave a comment- either here, on Eclectica's Facebook page, or via my e-mail addy, at; djselchie @ gmail . com.  (W/spaces omitted, of course. ;))  ^_^Thank you so much to -everyone- who's helped and supported Eclectica in previous years, as well as in this new incarnation, and thank all of YOU out there who're listening!  Plus, extra-special thanks go out to Deirdre Flint, Beats Antique, LYNX, Pentaphobe, DJ Tomasc and Dead Can Dance's Brendan Perry, who kindly gave their exclusive permissions for their music to be played here on Eclectica.  (To each and EVERY one of you guys; thank you thank you thank you thank you- SO MUCH! *beams*)  And to ALL of you; my bands and my listeners, supporters, signal-boosters, onlookers and all; I love y'all.  I hope that you dig what you hear, and brightest of blessings. ^_^Yours Forever in Song,DJ Selchie♥♥♥☼
