Released in conjunction with bellydancer Summer Sahar's "Spins & Turns" DVD (Cheeky Girls 2010), "Rubedo" has two, high energy, spins + shimmies bellydance tracks ("Rubedo" and "Sahar") each loaded with breaks, tabla riffs and solos for performance choreography, as well as enough bass bump for DJs spinning Middle Eastern and global fusion beats. Sandwiched in between is a slice of late-night desert dub ("Daughters of the Sun") suitable for hookah lounging, yoga or just plain chillin'! About Drumspyder: Slinky desert dub, bellydance breaks, and deep tribal house are seamlessly blended with live arabic percussion in Drumspyder's hypnotic yet eminently danceable mix. Formerly a percussionist with some of San Francisco's most innovative dance ensembles - AWD, Xeno, and the Nekyia - he has since 2008 struck out on his own with a debut album on Dakini Records (Kytheria, 2010) plus a slew of remixes (most recently of Wonderwheel's Spy from Cairo) and appearances on numerous bellydance DVDs. His live electronica/percussion sets have rocked the dancefloors from Black Rock to Tokyo. www.drumspyder.com "Drumspyder's sublime, rhythmically-driven music inspires the body to movement; he is a musician who plays for dancers. His beats form the ambrosia from which The Nekyia's sensual, atavistic style draws nourishment, and I am deeply grateful for our years of collaboration." -Kristina Nekyia
