WeTurnToRed (a.k.a. Shamanta Chandran - https://on.soundcloud.com/vw1Ny) is a Syrian-born Tamil-Canadian producer/DJ/singer/songwriter and scientist based in Toronto, Canada. Her deep love for electronic music was ignited after her older brother introduced her to the mid-90s Toronto rave scene. Having experimented in the studio for over a decade, delving into melodic nuances of modular and analog synths, it was clear that growling basslines and haunting melodies were the subjects of her affection.

Rogue Planet is about feeling like an "other," like a planet ejected by its host planetary system. It is a personal journey encapsulating Shamanta's South Asian roots and influences. Visuals are by internationally-known artist & muse Rajni Perera, "a painter and sculptor known for exploring how power works through the imagery of science fiction." The album reflects Shamanta's early life experience as a South Asian immigrant who has journeyed from the Middle East to North America, living in several different cities along the way. Adapting spiritual influences of the past, it seeks to preserve cultural relics in a future unknown. It features her 90-year-old aunt's Indian Carnatic vocals along with hers, connecting the generational gap.
