Los Angeles, California serves as home base for the concept group called Vitamin String Quartet. The group is made up of studio musicians who are brought together to interpret and record orchestra style covers of music from all types of genres ranging metal, techno, country, pop, rock and hip-hop dance music. While the quartet uses a wide assortment of artists and instruments, one fairly constant member of the group is violinist Tom Tally. Tally has been intimately involved in the composing, arranging and conduction of many songs on approximately 50 of the albums that have been recorded by the group. While the group is referred to as a string quartet, the reality is that more individuals are usually involved, using instruments such as violins, cellos, percussion, brass and woodwinds. The group was originally brought together in 1999 as an experimental project. They wanted to determine the effects of using classical style instruments to create new and different sounds on popular recordings. Early on, the FM broadcast station WWHK in Concord, NH would play the group's music 24 hours a day, every day, for a period of time. The popularity of the group's music has led to the music being featured on TV and in the movies. Credits include So You Think You Can Dance (2008), TV show The Vampire Diaries (2010), the 100th episode of Gossip Girl and the fifth season finale of Modern Family (2014). Throughout the years, the group has been involved in the recording of over 200 different albums. In 2009, the group stepped out of the box a bit and recorded some original material provided by some of the various musicians on the album Per_Versions.

Robyn Winters, DJ and music producer from NYC, features dark tones ranging from melancholy ambient and gloomy/groovy IDM, to horrific hard techno.  Influenced by tuning in to WFMU throughout her formative years, artists like Moby, Andy Stott, Container, Zamilska, and Kanye West continue to inspire her sound.  Robyn currently plays private events, and has produced her first EP, “License to Space” in 2023.  Her current projects feature noise/silence interdependence with progressive electronic rhythms.

Music that encompasses a wide variety of instruments and styles while keeping the fundamental aspect of emotion and the spirit of humanity and the universe in general is what best describes Shanka Tribe's music. Shank meaning conch is the instrument most associated with the vibrations of the universe. Shanka Tribe experiments with sound and crosses boundaries with ease while maintaining the very essence attached to the conch and it's power.

Shanka Tribe is an organic/tribal trance band based out of Kerala, India.
