Dj Orient believes that when you put digital, electronic sounds together with hand made, human ones, you can create universal language, capable of uniting Old and Young, Ancient and Modern, East and West. It´s bold claim, but the Orient - born and Vienna -based musician/producer/Dj and Audio Engeener has the know how and the music to back it up.When he hovers at the side behind his Turntables and Electronics, occasionally pick´ing up a traditional aluminium Darbouka, or traditional fluet to float in sweet, breathy melodies.
