This first of its kind, groundbreaking collaborative project brings you the work of innovative and uncompromising ‘dark fusion’ artists including recognized pioneers of Gothic Bellydance. TeMPeST and Ariellah of California, Asharah, Ya Meena and Raven of Washington DC, Jeniviva, Ayshe, Jehan, Tanna, Blanca, and Neon of New York City, as well as music by outstanding composers and performers including Solace, Jehan, Collide, Knossos, and Gypsy Caravan.
