Dubsahara : Cameltronica

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.

Master Margherita – The Marginal Rules

Master Margherita has a new album entitled “The Marginal Rules” released on the Italian label, Blue Hour Sounds.

Master Margherita is an electrodelic producer whose music encompasses many dimensions within its spectral realm.  The ever-present groove of his music holds down a space for exploration, always encompassing movement and flow, often in several directions at once!  There are a variety of moods and spaces on the album, from jazzed-up funkatronic breaks to ambient space dreaming journeys.

Listen to the Album

Master Margherita – The Marginal Rules by master margherita

An absolute favourite is the sublime majesty of “Atesh (Hoele Remix)” which shimmers and sways thru sultry streams of incense and herbal smoke into a mystic mellow of subtle bliss and has been constantly  on our playlists. Check out the album and hey, dig deep and buy some tunes!

Advaita : Grounded in Space

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”.
