Iv'e been obsessed with collecting Sitar Groovers for around 20 years ever since buying a white label bootleg in Camden London with Ananda Shankar's Streets of Calcutta & Dancing Drums. From there I gathering them like mad.

Many years ago I put up a guide on my website to Sitar Groovers which is the most popular thing I have posted on the internet, the website is long since dead, but I still have the records.

Here are 15 of them, I could go on & on, and even go electric to, but this is a good start, I have concentrated on the lesser known Sitar Groovers leaving out the big Ananda Shankars & Dave Pikes, but if you are unfamiliar then please check them out!

This is a real mixture of genres, some indian, some western, from soundtracks, library records, lounge records, cash ins and more, but all groovy and all with Sitars.

You can hear Moogaloo DJ at RPM - Funky Vintage Sounds in Canterbury, Kent, UK details here www.clubrpm.co.uk

I put this on to serve as background music whilst internet surfing. In short order it kept me utterly distracted. Really, really enjoyed it. Nice job!
