You can listen to my stuff her: http://artists2.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/Kahuna_Kawentzmann/ We already have a colourful collection of acts in this act, and I like pretty much all of them. I am usually more into the original stuff, but my background is surf music and I realized early that it can be seen as exotica’s son. For TikiChris interesting question I would say a really modern exotica band would feature a danceable groove. The sampler/or harddisk recording is a very good tool for the sort of broad, adventurous approach you need for real exotica. It opens you music for all the sounds in the world. I was really a longtime oponent to anything electronic in music, but I realize how many electronic music styles are shaping into something I can relate too, and not being about electronic in the first place. So the sampler is not a must but a gain in the versatality department. The other instruments are anybody’s guess. Personally I would like to here more vibes in today’s music. More harpsicord, sitar, ukulele and wordless female vocals among other. KK
