You should check out this DJ Spooky mix that he did for the Biennial in Venice. It is some of the normal Spooky type stuff mixed with his favorite music originating in Africa.
One of the cool things is that he does not limit himself to music but adds a lot of speeches and found sound / collage stuff. I know I make it sound exciting but the speeches are by some of the best in history (Malcolm X & Nelson Mandela). The music is ridiculous. Ginger Baker for those from an earlier generation (Cream), Fela for everyone, Abdullah Ibrahim for the avant garde in us all, Akon for the kids and my personal favorite Konono No. 1.
