Global Ruckus
Trans-continental groove maniac Global Ruckus lets you experience the world through his music which he continues to accumulate in his many travels. Just back from a week of gigs in China where he wowed the masses in Shanghai and Beijing, he's brought back some dreamy and delicious Asian sonic treats to help you bring in the year of the dragon with his sunrise set. 

I grew up in a remote mountain region of northeast Oregon with little exposure to music except my Swiss father's many polka and yodeling records and the occasional times I could pick up the local country music station.
