Arabic dub is an age old sonic concept, whose sound echoes through time round sandstorm laden pyramids. Dubsahara practices this ancient form of Cameltronica in fine style. His recent set at Sonica Festival was a masterful excursion through the ultraworlds, navigating symphonic sinewaves in etheric motion. It was a study in fluid dynamics and inference patterns of fractal geometry skillfully fused with traditional arabic melodies.

We approach a new paradigm in Modern Indian music as the seeds of Advaita have taken root and bear fruit. The journey has magical moments and with the inSight of world class producer, John Leckie, this record reflects the deep sound that these musicians can weave while fusing classic rock elements of guitar, bass and drums with the Indian instrumentation of sarangi and Hindustani classical style vocals.
Its not the concept that is new, but the level of skill in the execution of such notions. The variety of tracks move through different of integration and for our taste the opening track, “Rasiya” displays something special of true originality and finesse.
Although the album as a whole reveals the difficulties in bringing together the disparate elements of rock / classical / fusion to create a convincing new whole sound, there is a solid musical journey throughout the album. One or two tracks on the album seem to follow the old models of song creation but we feel Advaita will be better served shifting into the sonic hyper-dimensions of new sound that they have touched on already, particularly with the opening track “Rasiya”.
It is our pleasure to announce the release of the eponymously titled debut album from ASHIRVAD (meaning “Blessings”), on Sangita Sounds.

This ambient classic has been obscured from view only by the clouds of cosmic dust that prevail afore the arrival of the Photon Belt. In such a space and time, a certain degree of chaos may reign. With the blessings of the Universal Resonance we may hear the infinite magic from the Temple of Stars.
This is an Omega.v1 release. This is raw music, direct from the producers intergalactic studio to you. Unmastered and still in development, this is a real opportunity to join in with the evolutionary flux and flow of modern music. If you like what you hear, donate and watch as we aim to develop it even further.
Taking electroacoustic music to a new level of sophistication, this ethereal delight is already something of a connoisseurs classic on the Global ambient electronica scene, having been toured around Europe in previous seasons. This is the Omega.v1 version of the album which may yet see another incarnation as the hyperspational mapping capabilities of this production team could yet be upgraded once we enter the Photon Belt. Each piece on this modern hyperspace-age recording tells an epic tale. There are no set-to-repeat digital diamoporhisms here, this is pure geometric isomorphism incontrovertibly elucidating on the nature of existence.
