Fans of the Interchill
, Instinct and Dakini Labels will be familiar with the
West coast based producer,musician and Dj Adham Shaikh.
Though perhaps best known as part of the four-member collective
Ekko (their Brilliant 1999 Centripetal release remains
a personal favourite),Shaikh has been creating both solo
and collaborative efforts for the past 15 years. He's
a true producer, brilliant at pulling peoples' talents
together and insightfully committed to his vison of electronics
meeting organic (often ancient) instrumentation. Essence
is gorgeous ,daring and respectful, blending the globally
renowned bansuri (indian bamboo flute) playing of Catherine
Potterr with the beat contributions
of monteal producer Freeworm
, dubwise skills of Sean
Hillll, flute stylings of artist
Jean-Marc
Guillemette,
percussion of Yasmine
Amal, and much more."Somptin
Hapnin (water in me) "dubs and flows and shakes as
vocalist Kinnie
Starr pays
tribute to water, trees and life. "Sabadhi"
cements Shaikh's reputation for producing finely tuned,ambient
loveliness while its sister masterpiece "Sabadub"
offers a more beat-heavy , dub-wise treatment of bansuri
, bermibau, and viola.
