Date: 2014-05-22

Plunge yourself deep into the unknown.

Long a cultural wellspring of Chinese society, Xinjiang is carrying the artistic torch well into the modern age. Uyghur Jurat.T.T and his band, Dark Lake, play a hauntingly mind-bending form of ethnic psychedelic rock unlike anything you have ever heard before. Blending Central Asian rhythms and melodies with pounding, Zeppelin-esque drums and bass, after hearing them you'll definitely want to learn more about the enigmatic land of kebobs and dapanji.

The song featured in this episode is called Grave.
