Rachid Taha

I guess Rachid Taha has been putting out albums for years now, but I only just heard about him recently - his new album, Tékitoi, is a big ol' smash-up of rock and global fusion. Initially he reminded me of what I love about Asian Dub Foundation, especially in terms of the crazy energy level, but this album is more rock'n'roll and less hip hop than ADF. All in all, I'm excited to check out the back catalog.

Rachid Taha - Tékitoi? (Who Are You?) (feat. Christian Olivier)
Rachid Taha - Lli Fat Mat! (What Is Past Is Dead And Gone!)
Rachid Taha - Voila Voila (Here It Is, Here It Is) (Spanish Version)

Recently on Comfort Radio:
Yuzo Kayama - Look up at a night sky
skeewiff - nitty gritty
DJ Cam - Love Junkee (Feat. Cameo And J Dilla) (J Dilla Remix)
