He has held opening DJ spots for artists such as India Arie, Joi, Res, Fertile Ground, Dwele, Les Nubialns, Musiq,The Roots, Donnie and Raphael Saadiq.

Recently Salah Ananse has emerged in the dance music genre as a new force. His rhythmic instrumentation and smooth layered vocals make his sound unique and distinguishable among the rest. "I feel that this genre enables me to express myself musically in whatever way I see fit. As long as it's soulful it's accepted." Although Ananse has been noticed for other work, including a remix for India Arie's Brown Skin and Something New from the New Sound Theory compilation both of which received underground airplay throughout the nation, he has for the most part remained quiet with his solo project. "I want to present myself in a way that will not pigeon hole me in any particular style. I make soul music. Thats the only way I can describe myself. His new project late Night Affair, which includes collaborations with artists such as JimiJames, Gaelle & Tony Towerz is scheduled for release second quarter 2009. Read more on Last.fm.
