Is that Bobby Singh from Metrical - Drum Tongue, or just very similar sounding?

Banco de Gaia - Heliopolis (Silinder Remix)

Hi Friends!

I am very happy to share my lates track with you all. It is a remix of a truly magical song: Trøllabundin by the amazing artist Eivør.

Deeply inspired by this magical and enchanting song I have made a tribal psychill remix of it.  
The original track, which you absolutely must check out, consists of the Eivør playing a shamanic drum and using hers voice singing in her native language Faronese. It is a one of a kind.

Here is the lyrics: 

Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg
Galdramaður festi meg festi meg
Trøllabundin djúpt í míni sál í míni sál
Í hjartanum logar brennandi bál brennandi bál

Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg
Galdramaður festi meg festi meg
Trøllabundin inn í hjartarót í hjartarót
Eyga mítt festist har ið galdramaður stóð

English translation:

Spellbound I am, I am
The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul
In my heart burns a sizzling fire, a sizzling fire

Spellbound I am, I am
The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
Spellbound in my heart's root, my heart's root
My eyes gaze to where the wizard stood


I want to make clear that this track is an UNOFFICIAL REMIX, meaning that Eivør has not been involved in the process of making this remix. I have bought her song, chopped it up, looped the drum and many parts of her voice, and then I have added many more elements like percussion, shakers, a shaman voice recording, nature sounds, owl recordings, bass, synths and much more. 

It is very bass heavy, like you can slowly sink deeper and deeper into it, and I am totally in love with it myself!

I will not put this song on Spotify, or sell it at Bandcamp. You will only hear it here on my Soundcloud, and in my dj sets.

All credit goes to Eivør who has deeply touched and inspired me and so many other people with her music. 
Thank you!

I hope you enjoy it!

Trøllabundin - Eivør (Witch Princess Remix)

Prepare to embark on a mesmerizing journey through the enigmatic soundscapes of "Surrealistic Mellow", an ethereal album by Tara Putra. Inspired by the realms of psybient, psydub and downtempo, Tara Putra invites the listener into a sonic world that transcends the boundaries of consciousness. With an innate sensitivity and a deep connection to psychedelic atmospheres, this production weaves a tapestry of otherworldly sounds that transport the mind into unknown dimensions.

"Surrealistic Mellow" is a harmonious blend of gentle and danceable compositions that strike a balance between introspection and celebration. The album's ten tracks offer a diverse range of tunings, from ambient grooves to pulsating rhythms, all infused with a touch of surrealism. The album cover, masterfully designed by Espepelen Artwork, perfectly complements the psychedelic and mystical nature of the music.

20 years ago I released Last Train to Lhasa - which makes me feel very old!

To mark the anniversary of its release, I have created a limited edition, physical only (no downloads or streams) 4 disc box set, featuring previously unheard alternative and extended ambient mixes as well as a handful of fresh remixes by like-minded artists. This will come out in June.

To kick-start the celebrations, I asked Ukraine’s soundcloud.com/astropilot and Dublin’s soundcloud.com/silinder to add some 21st Century flavour to the title track, and released them on Monday 30th March via all the mainstream download stores and streaming sites.

To mark this release, I am posting up this remix that I did myself of Lhasa. Please share the link far and wide.

Banco De Gaia has been performing and releasing for over 25 years now, along the way becoming one of the music industry’s most maverick innovators. His legacy is as glittering as it is diverse, ranging from Hollywood film sound credits to the critically acclaimed ‘Last Train to Lhasa’, first released in 1995 to a rapturous reception. His live act still packs out venues and festivals all over the world, with audio-visual performances renowned for their explosive, cutting edge quality: from sampling wizardry fused with haunting vocals and poignant acoustics to genre-hopping musical instrumentals, all accompanied by socially engaged visuals.

Behind Banco de Gaia is artist Toby Marks. Starting out as a drummer in a metal band, he began using sampling kit to cut his own tunes after falling in love with electronica during the 1980s acid house era. By the early 90s, after winning respect for a clutch of credits on the Ambient Dub compilations, he was signed to Planet Dog Records and released ‘Maya’, in 1994, and then ‘Last Train to Lhasa’, in 1995.

Both albums featured an artfully arranged cocktail of textured samples and live instrumentals lifted from across the world. Both went straight to No. 1 in the UK Independent Charts as well as sweeping through the international electronica scene, making him, along with the likes of The Orb, one of the early pioneers of ‘chill out’. Both ‘Last Train to Lhasa’ and ‘Heliopolis (Eudopolis Dog Mix)’ notably featured on Sasha & Digweed's classic ‘Northern Exposure’ mix CD among myriad other compilations. 

Since then, he's released a further 6 studio albums, 1 live album, 1 live DVD and 15 EP’s and also runs his own label, Disco Gecko Recordings. He went back to basics in 2014 with a sold-out 20th Anniversary CD-only (no streams or downloads available) release of ‘Maya’, followed by similar 20th Anniversary editions of ‘Last Train to Lhasa’ in 2015 and ‘Live at Glastonbury’ in 2016.

Pink Floyd and psychedelia remain a constant influence: Banco’s cover of Echoes in 2007 helped shape the ‘Memories, Dreams, Reflections’ collection in 2009 and Floyd’s legendary saxophonist Dick Parry was one of Marks’ special guest collaborators (alongside no-man’s Tim Bowness and Zero 7’s Sophie Barker) on his ‘The 9th of Nine Hearts’ album, which came out in October 2016.

“A continuation of the consistently high form Toby Marks has shown throughout a long and illustrious career” (Total Music Magazine), The Crack described ‘The 9th of Nine Hearts’ as full of “dubby loveliness that fuses psych, spiky rock, acid and ambient” while the Ambient Music Guide hailed it as “Banco's strongest album of new material in 15 years”.
