Jaadu (Magic) (Nickodemus & Osiris remix)

Jaadu (Magic) (Nickodemus & Osiris remix) is a remix track from the album Rare Elements, released on May 18, 2004. The original composition features Ustad Sultan Khan, a prominent Indian classical musician known for his mastery of the sarangi and khayal vocal tradition. The remix was produced by Nickodemus and Osiris, electronic music artists associated with global fusion and downtempo styles.

The track appears as the fourth entry on Rare Elements, a compilation album issued under the ESL Music label. The album blends traditional Indian classical elements with contemporary electronic production, targeting international audiences. Jaadu (Magic) retains Sultan Khan’s vocal and instrumental phrasing while incorporating layered beats, synthetic textures and rhythmic restructuring characteristic of Nickodemus and Osiris’ collaborative work.

The remix spans 5 minutes and 34 seconds. The title translates to \"Magic\" in English, reflecting the track’s fusion of devotional sufiana motifs with modern dancefloor orientations. The original recording context of Sultan Khan’s contribution remains undocumented in available sources, though his discography frequently intersects with cross-genre projects. Rare Elements received distribution primarily in North America and Europe, with the remix later appearing in DJ sets and global bass compilations.

No official music video or single release accompanied the track. The album’s liner notes credit Sultan Khan for vocals and sarangi, while production and arrangement credits list Nickodemus and Osiris. The remix exemplifies early 2000s trends in Asian Underground and world fusion electronic music, though specific chart performance or sales data for the track or album is not publicly verified.
