My iPod is always loaded with a half dozen electronic music podcasts that I listen to without fail. Each week I wait with baited breath for the XLR8R<\/a> and Beatport<\/a> podcasts.<\/p>\n

Released less frequently but waited with no less anticipation are podcasts like the Indian Electronica<\/a> podcast and DJ Bulut<\/a>\u2018s New Turkish Beat<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n

Indian Electronica is a Canadian-based online community, record label, radio station and annual international music festival \u2013 all focused on showcasing cutting edge electronic music inspired by South Asian traditions. The podcast is an eclectic sampling of electronic music produced around the world. You can also catch their stream<\/a> 24 hours a day, 7 days a week straight out of Toronto. Previous shows have included mixes by DJ Spooky<\/a> and Tony Estrada<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DJ Bulut hosts the equally eclectic New Turkish Beat podcast. Bulut has an exquisite taste for the mixes he puts together and has an extensive show notes at his blog.<\/p>\n

Since this week\u2019s solipsistic NATION<\/b> was so heavily influenced by the Indian Electronica and the New Turkish Beat podcasts I wanted to have DJ Bulut on to talk about his show and have him contribute to the mix.<\/p>\n

The mix, by the way, is dynamite!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a big fan of Vijaya Anand for years so it was a privilege to play one of his tracks on today\u2019s show. A special shout-out goes to Christina from Motel Records for letting me play Dan the Automator<\/a>\u2018s remix of Kalyanji & Anandji V. Shay\u2019s \u201cUptown Bollywood Nights\u201d from the now classic Bombay the Hardway<\/a> CD. And once again, Ad Noiseam<\/a> and Sound-Ink<\/a> Records continues to blow my mind with tracks from Enduser<\/a> and Mutamassik<\/a>. What a great way to close 2007!<\/p>\n
