Here’s a funkin’ mix by DJ Vraj, hot off the press. Dhruva had some CDs of it at Janmastami, and I got a rip.

It’s 28 minutes long, and is a mix from Vraj’s record collection. Neither of us can remember all of the artists who got mixed up in there. The first track (Gaya Goura Madhu Sware) is a devotee from South America. The “Hari Haraye Namah Krishna” track is a nationally acclaimed musician from Venezuela. There is a track from Sridhama das in NZ in there, and the last track is from DJ Vraj’s last album “Anti-materia”.

I’m not sure where the others come from. If you can identify a track, then please leave a comment.

Here it is:

DJ Vraj Mix Janmastami 2006 MP3 (40MB 28:49)
DJ Vraj Mix Janmastami 2006 OGG (31MB 28:49)

A note on the difference between ogg and mp3:

You should use ogg if at all able to. Ogg is a free format - mp3 is a patent encumbered format. Iriver and IAudio media players play ogg format files. Ipod players do not play this format (you are forced to use mp3). A practical consequence of mp3’s patent encumbrance is that any devotees who wish to sell their music online using mp3 must pay a royalty to the patent holder. There is no such charge for the ogg format, which is also technically superior to mp3.

You can check out Vraj’s album Rise and Shine (released a few years ago now) on Amazon.
