Tonight, sip some Chai tea, mellow out, and come with us on a stroll through the chill side of the Global music scene.

From Banda to Bhangra; You Need Deep Has Got You Covered.
First, we head over to Wust El Balad in Al Qahirah, Egypt for a beatiful tune called “Tesmahily(Orchestra)Version / وسط البلد – تسمحيلي بتوزيع أوركسترالي”. Playful, gentle, passionate, and well produced, this is a great song for a sunny day sit down.
Let’s see what Seoul has in store.
2000 Won – I Hate Seoul (서울이 싫어졌어) comes in smooth, warm, and soulful. It’s a beautiful marriage of hip hop and heart felt vocal hooks. This duo are relative newcomers to the scene, making their songs hard to find without Googling their name, but that didn’t stop us from seeking out a few gems, including this one.
Next, we head to Saudi Arabia and activate our pineal gland. If you’ve ever been on psychedelics, in a spiritually heightened state, or lost to the beauty of a beach, you’ll get this selection, fully. If not; this is what it sounds like. Elmorgy may just connect neural pathways you never knew you had while giving this one a spin.
While we’re over there, let’s stop back in Egypt & get deeply tranquilized. This beautiful, haunting, and naturally appealing song from Ahmad Qassim features birds, chimes, and stringed instruments that make this soundscape the perfect marriage of nature and human thought process. Four minutes in it makes the transition from being an introspective to a refreshingly upbeat motivator of a song. Don’t take our word for it, though. Press play, relax, and enjoy.
Enough introspection, though. DJ Spider is on some Norteño. The mix is crisp, the instrumentation playful, the soundscape..? Sexy. Tony Tesoro’s vocals marry seamlessly into what sounds like a huge band playing gently, inviting you into the feeling of the music, while the band plays on.
What post of mine would be complete without some Dembow in it? We end You Need Deep today with an unreleased tune from Colombian Reggaeton artist J Balvin, bringing you full circle on this nation hopping trip of an article. Smooth, upbeat, and sounding like a future classic, this is where we break out the frisbee, beach ball, volleyball, etc. and get ready for the night.
