Celebrating the Release of Backspin and the Label's Ten-Year Anniversary

“Six Degrees Records is one of the reasons that world music is no longer considered a staid genre… Six Degrees has expanded both the verbal and rhythmic language of world music, at the same time doing more than its share to change the often restrictive face of dance music.”
– All Music Guide
On March 22, Six Degrees Records co-founder and president Bob Duskis will perform a DJ Set at The Kush Lounge in New York City. He is performing to promote Backspin: A Six Degrees 10 Year Anniversary Project.
Six Degrees Records, the indie label from San Francisco, has spent the last ten years producing good music in bad times. And to celebrate that milestone, the label looks ahead to the future by looking back, with a collection of surprising and distinctive covers: Backspin, a Six Degrees 10 Year Anniversary Project. Backspin features a dozen artists from the label’s eclectic global roster, each presenting a new spin on an old favorite. Songs by Led Zeppelin, The Police, The Cure, and Pink Floyd, among others, are re-imagined by Six Degrees stalwarts including Karsh Kale, MIDIval PunditZ, Banco de Gaia, Ojos de Brujo, and more.
For a label that has a reputation as a leader in global pop, this may seem like a strange idea. But as Six Degrees co-founder and president Bob Duskis points out, “we like poking holes in the notion of what ‘world music’ is, or is not. And to commemorate the anniversary, we wanted to do something surprising and different.” Besides, he says, the idea of artists from India, Spain, Iran, or the barrios of California doing their own interpretations of rock classics fits perfectly with Six Degrees’ model of mixing old and new. “When you think about it, the music of The Beatles, The Beach Boys, ABBA, and Bob Marley is almost traditional music now, so it made sense for us.”
Don’t miss out on an eclectic DJ set of international beats, rarities, mash-ups and dubbed out madness from the co-founder and president of Six Degrees Records as he returns to his hometown of New York
