About Khadja Nin
Singer Khadja Nin was born and raised in the African country of Burundi. Her spoken languages include French, Swahili, and Kirundi. She credits Miriam Makeba as her mentor and sings mainly on humanitarian topics she has witnessed growing up in Africa. On Ya, her debut album released in October of 2000, she collaborated with Sting's guitarist Dominic Miller and Howard Jones. Nin is comparable to the worldly sounds of Cesaria Evora and Les Nubians. ~ Diana Potts, All Music Guide

Kids MGMT |
| With 2005's "Time To Pretend" MGMT created a musical moment that would resonate for the next three years, putting it amongst the creme de la creme of new millennium indie anthems. With latest single, "Kids", MGMT fail to scale the heights they did with their first single, but still deliver a track that has met with strong approval from such critical sources as Pitchfork media, Zane Lowe and, surprisingly, dance music bible Mixmag who cited it as one of their "tunes of the year". Sporting an overridingly childlike melody that shimmers due to the interesting use of a distorted stylophone, the track washes over the listener thanks to the great use of a Gary Numan-esque synth line. This is all brought to the fore on the new remix by Belgian dance maestros Soulwax, who turn the muted indie cool of the original into an irrepressible club monster. If any evidence is needed, here is a clip of Erol Alkan playing the track at the recent Pukkelpop festival. Quite simply, amazing! | |
