Greg Hunter & Kalahari Surfers – Turntabla

Wonderful news.  This collection of tracks from a decade ago will finally see the light of day.  Some of these tracks have been heard on the ambient scene, unrelesed classics that have certainly been a part of the my DJ sets for the past years.  This lost classic album will feature new, remixes and original tracks from ’98/’99.

Here is a word from Warrick Sony of the Kalahari Surfers.

All sounds were originated by our performances and those of the special sessions which we hosted at the studio. Brendan had left Cape Town and the project by the time of Greg’s second and third visits which saw the pieces morphing into huge sound epics with sampled and performed merging together processed and squeezed into the ether. Strings and things were developed and added at Milestone. Speakers were blown. Greg left with a box of mixes and we resolved to do a track each separately and release it all as a band called PLINC the album Turntabla. Greg was never entirely happy with many of the tracks and the distance and interest made the project difficult to complete for him, other things croppedup and life overtook us all. Robert approached me towards the end of 2007 and asked if I would revisit it as a Kalahari Surfer and finish it off, which I did.

Metasurfing


As a master craftsman of the Sonic arts, Greg Hunter‘s Metasurfing is one of the most eagerly awaited release of recent times. A mythical long player of granular tryptamine sonically inverse filtered journeys through the worlds of Dub, classical Hindustani, Electronica and Persian instrumental musics.

The fruits of his labour are finally shared in this peace missive for the countdown to 2012 (only 3 years to go!!!). At times challenging and often deeply mystifying, this album offers rich and sonically engaging worlds to explore and revel in as the boundaries of sound are pushed to the Edge and back again.

It gives uniquely delightful pleasure to announce this long player, available now for Download and Donate. Be sure to support the artist with your generous donation in support of this bold move, choosing to make new and futuristic music available through independent channels, directly from the Artist to the Listener.

UPDATE ::  You may still be able to find the release somewhere in the Mystical web of wonder that is www.dubsahara.com. The layers of mystic cloudshapes that obscure the known from the unknown continue to revel in self-reflexive enigma.  No doubt the universe has its own plan and shall manifest accordingly.
