I just have to say that for me this is the best record label for electronic/world fusion.
I have all their compilations and most albums and not once have I been dissapointed. I also think they have managed very well the artwork & associated physical aspects with regards to selling products.
I am very sad that in two trips to Japan I was unable to meet with Gio or attend a Dakini gig but hope one day to see Gio at least DJ 
I heard that a new Makyo album may be out this year which would be awesome, his last album was just so deep & emotional. The track "Skin As Soft As Starlight" always brings tears of beauty & also some melancholy to my eyes, I played it as part of a DJ set on a beach one day during my opening world music DJ set & the crowd were speechless as it pumped out. I even had a cop standing nearby watching us come ask where he could get a copy of it
Anyway, I hope Dakini has not died out like so many labels due to poor sales & hope much more is coming 
Respect to Gio n' the rest of the crew for making such a special record label!!
  I hate you, you hate me, we are all so hap hap happy! |

Makyo, Puff Dragon and Tribal Matrix series have been my favorites.
And not to forget the asian girls on the cover.

I too love Dakini. Some amazing music! What happened to Sevda? Their tunes are tasty.

Well they are still here: http://beatspacedakini.bandcamp.com/
I still need to buy a few albums from Dakini, but never seem to find the time or budget with so many other musical treats out there to buy.... |

Indeed it would be awesome if there was a new Makyo release, or anything else on Dakini.
In agreement with you guys, Dakini are my favourite chill-out/fusion label and I've got nearly all their CDs too.
Gio, there's still some love out there for you! |

You mean this album?
http://www.discogs.com/Padmasana-Padmasana/master/40983
I've got the 2001 reissue and there's no hidden track like on Blumencraft at -44 seconds, is there something on the first press?
Or do you mean the little Space Shuttle image in the hub area of the Digipak? |

1999 first press or 2001 2nd edition? Can't see anything unusual on mine.
Prompted me to listen to it for the first time in ages, fantastic stuff anyway! |
