Recent acquisition:
Temple of Sound & Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali, featuring Neil Sparkes, Jah Wobble, Omar Puentes, others:

The late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's nephews crush traditional sufi music together with layers of state-of-the-fat electronic dance textures. Fucking amazing. Try the darker tracks:
Tears of Light, with an unearthly percussion arrangement, or
