Qasim Virjee’s New DJ Mix Series, “Motion”, is a Damned Fine Listen

With all the stuff that Qasim Virjee  does, the question isn’t “What does Qasim do?”, but “What doesn’t Qasim do?”

He’s into technology and hobnobs with the tech and social media scene here in Accordion City. Look at all the stuff he does:

• Design Guru, his digital communication agency for online communities
• GetFilmi, the premier site for watching Indian cinema online
• The Masala Chai Company, the place to get masala chai blends
• Indian Electronica and Globetronica: the former is an organization showcasing South Asian electronic music; the latter is a magazine that showcases music from all over the globe

…and he’s got a great new series called Motion on his podcast, Eclectic Aural Adventures with Qasim featuring his DJ mixes.

I’ve been enjoying the January edition of Motion at work — I find the smooth 4/4 groove keeps me going, even through the afternoon doldrums, and his selections are impeccably good. Here’s a track listing:

1. Aviator (Album Mix)    – Photek
2. Relapse (Original Mix) – OVERWERK
3. Blue Bell Knoll (Nick Warren Bootleg) – The Cocteau Twins
