In the vast, deep forests of history, long have the inhabitants of Earth
sought connection with nature and other forms of life on this planet.
Though humanity’s chapter within this greater story has been short,
their innate ability to form this link through increasingly inventive
means has lead to the development of exotic tools, complex
languages, and a colorful web of cultures that in just a few millennia
has come to span the entire surface of the globe.

Within this elaborate web, there are artists like Jakare: an electro-
folkloric duo that wields the emotional language of music as a tool for
exploring the endless frontiers of the human experience. Their
upcoming release — ‘Apu Remixes‘ — continues in their musical
tradition of blending Old- and New-world instrumentation with modern
production techniques by inviting five musical visionaries from the
electronic world to partake in the celebrated ritual of remixing,
beginning with deep tribal producer and Resueño label head
Mose.

Leading off the collection with a stirring rendition of Jakare’s
ceremonial “Cleansing,” Mose’s remix quickly draws listeners into a
landscape colored by downtempo atmospheres and fueled by a
holographic collection of synths, beats, samples, and cleverly-woven
instrumental sequences. Rooted in both acoustic and electronic
components to provide a rising and falling emotional tale, the track
plays true to Mose’s intention of crafting musical journeys and teases
the essence of the greater collection by showcasing the versatility of
“organic house” and its numerous global influences.

Released on Summer Solstice 2021 and born from three world-renowned artists from three continents, “Jai Shiva Shankar” is the incredible new single by Franko Heke, Monica Dogra, and Mose. Call it what you will — serendipity, magic, destiny — something special brought these three vanguard artists together to create this 6-minute dance mantra combination. When it comes to the fusion of these genres, this is a first for New Zealand native Franko Heke, who remarks, “Jai Shiva Shankar is a mantra that came to me on my travels through India and it represents Shiva the creator, protector and transformer of the universe. Shiva and Shakti represent the masculine and feminine that resides in us all.” It is in Bali where Franko met Monica Dogra, the Indian-American powerhouse vocalist who has released five albums with Mumbaikar electronic duo Shaa’ir and Func. 

Gorgeous harmonies between Heke and Dogra breathe spiritual energy into this mantra-driven composition. Underneath and interwoven through the vocals we hear haunting Indian flute, Egyptian drums, tabla, and oud. Guatemala-based ecstatic dance DJ and producer Mose transforms the grounded rhythm section into a series of tasty grooves that are indulgently danceable and beckon for movement. This well-balanced piece repeats the title mantra “Jai Shiva Shankar” alongside instrumental and vocal bridges that are ethereal and rich with emotional energy, revealing that Franko Heke, Monica Dogra, and Mose are the healing trifecta we didn’t know we needed this summer solstice.
