Arabian Travels 2 explores the mesmerizing sounds of Arabic music and its influence on electronic, ambient, dance and dub music.
Critical praise for the first volume of Arabian Travels:
"While albums of a similar nature fall into a clichéd Eastern trip, Arabian Travels is genuine in its approach without over-producing songs to an unrecognizable level. Gorgeous and decadent." -Ottawa X-Press
"[This album] is a collection of studio-made dance tracks that mesh Middle Eastern elements with a synthetic dance-floor pulse... The hybrids find a middle ground where neither side is stifled - the kind of collaboration that could now be threatened by a new xenophobia." -New York Times
