Name: Holiwater Band - Kumbh Mela (edit) by Dubmission Records
Duration: 2 min 30 s
Description: Kumbh Mela is a bathing festival held every 3 years in India, with the largest held every 12 years at the sacred sangam of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers, drawing over 80 million pilgrims in 2013. The Holiwater Band first met on a project drawing attention to the health of the Ganga and they continue to share their concern for the pressing issues of water conservation worldwide.

Longing, Krishna explained in the Bhagavad Gita, can be harnessed as a path to divinity in Bhakti Yoga. The composition features both the major and minor key in the same melody and this descent expresses the bittersweet yearning of loss.

Holiwater Band - Longing (edit)

Sheesh Mahal means 'Crystal Palace' in Urdu and this piece describes the mysterious wonder of a candlelit hall of mosaic mirrors and its myriad reflections. It is made, mosaic-wise, from fragments of an unaccompanied alaap which have been repositioned to make the melodic phrases.

Some more new music. Lots of guitar and mostly all live recorded instrumentation on this one.

I'm trying to post more consistently now and I think the way to do that is for me focus on individual tracks rather than grand EPs. 

I'm thinking I might release a compilation mixtape soon though to get around this, so I can focus on standalone tracks but still put out some sort of project. 

Who knows... maybe some type of 'assorted / selected works' thing coming soon x

Dubmission Records have blazed a trail of warped woofers since the mid 90’s, when they launched with a trio of bass heavy dubwise compilations. 

In 1996, they kicked off with the Mashing Up Creation album, which featured tracks by Doof, Adelphi and http://soundcloud.com/andyguthrie amongst others. It was reviewed favourably by The Sunday Times, DJ and Sleaze Nation – the latter describing it as “carrying on where original dub hijackers The Orb left off!” It was swiftly followed by Dubbed On Planet Skunk, with stand out tracks from http://soundcloud.com/zion-train, Quirk and Alpha & Omega. The third instalment took 2 years to put together – More Bass Than Space was a double album which represented every spectrum of the modern dub scene, with tunes from artists as diverse as Hallucinogen, http://soundcloud.com/woob, http://soundcloud.com/solarquest, Singers&Players and Tribal Drift. It sold well all over the world, and led to tours of Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and USA.

From 2001-5, the Dubmission crew concentrated more on artist management and event promotion than releasing records. However after hearing Ape to Angel by http://soundcloud.com/pitchblacknz, they decided to bring Dubmission out of “retirement”, as it represented everything and more that the label had tried to achieve.  

Since then the label has gone from strength to strength, with several more releases from http://soundcloud.com/pitchblacknz (Frequencies Fall, Rude Mechanicals, Rhythm, Sound & Movement plus their first two albums, Futureproof and Electronomicon), as well as Seen, Heard and Felt by http://soundcloud.com/international-observer, Make Animals Happy by http://soundcloud.com/warptechnique, Third Ear Audio’s Third Ear Audio and Paddy Free’s Karekare. The crew has also found time to compile two smoky collections for the Japanese label, Wakyo: On A Dubmission Volumes One and Two.

In 2010, to celebrate 15 years of business, they released 15 titles, including new EPs by http://soundcloud.com/pitchblacknz, http://soundcloud.com/warptechnique, Doof and Green Monitor, plus re-issued classic but deleted albums by Bluey, Stress Assassin and Bill&Ben, as well as playing 15 shows around the world and uploading 15 DJ mixes of Dubmission music to download.

The last few years have seen EPs released by http://soundcloud.com/akashaexperience, http://soundcloud.com/quanta-uk and http://soundcloud.com/erssound., two albums and an EP by http://soundcloud.com/deepfrieddub, a collection of http://soundcloud.com/pitchblacknz remixes of other artists and a new compilation series, The Next Mission, designed to showcase up and coming talent.
