PT020: Fake Shamans - Katha EP [Pinkturban]

Pinkturban welcomes Pakistani duo Fake Shamans to their roster with 'Katha EP.' These rising stars have established themselves through numerous releases on labels and DJ gigs across the globe, even turning heads with a breathtaking rooftop set against the backdrop of 17th-century Mughal architecture in their hometown of Lahore.

'Katha EP' seamlessly contrasts traditional Indian Classical elements with thumping tech house beats for a groovy dance floor experience. "Katha" showcases the hypnotic rhythms of the Indian hand drum tabla and a female recitation of the instrument's oral language as it's been transmitted from guru to disciple through the ages.

"Jugnoo" features delicate female vocals in Urdu that transport listeners to a dreamy world where lovers are stargazing under the night sky, backdropped by fireflies.

Moon Harbour family member Ninetoes is back with more firing house grooves, this time on his Bahan EP. The brilliant 'Bahan' opens up and is a full-fat house cut with weighty drums, bass, and plenty of prickly percussive energy. It's a raw track that brims with energy and steamy synth stabs while a tribal vocal chant brings the hook that will send the dance floor wild. The driving 'Raanee' is quick and slick with scurrying bass weaving its way between closely stacked drums and fluttering toms as another freaky vocal lights up the whole track. It's tripped out, hypnotic, and has all the makings of another huge summer anthem.

2016 has been yet another great year for UK artist Jey Kurmis with releases and remixes on the likes of Hot Creations, Moon Harbour, Leftroom and Viva and now closes out the year with a release for Kaluki Musik. Amongst a steady stream of releases via some of contemporary house music’s most revered imprints, this year also saw Kurmis play DC10 for Paradise and shows during Sonar Barcelona, Amsterdam Dance Event and many more showcasing Jey’s current prominence.
Across the ‘Banx’ EP Jey Kurmis delivers his typically frenzied house style and the title-cut takes the lead with an amalgamation of processed vocal lines, a snaking bass groove, sporadic snare rolls and tension building pad sequences. ‘Margot’ follows and employs stripped-back percussion alongside short bass licks, choppy vocal layers and resonant synth whirrs to create a heady hypnotic workout.
The third and final original from Kurmis comes next, entitled ‘Peachey’ and retaining a similarly robust, sparse rhythmic drive while soft synth stabs and vocal murmurs ebb and flow throughout the groove. Recent beatport chart toppers and residents of the Kaluki events Solardo then close out the package, turning in a more direct dance-floor focused interpretation, extracting snippets from the original number and layering them alongside their own raw rhythmic style.

PT012: Otm Shank - Who is Otm Shank? [Pinkturban]

Otm Shank is back. He's ready, and this time, it's personal…

The alter ego of British electronic music producer and owner of the Los Angeles-based Pinkturban record label, Rik Dobson, is now ready to reveal himself in his debut full-length 10-track album, 'Who is Otm Shank?.'

The album follows his Indian-inspired dance tracks such as "Ravish," "Bounce," and 'Kaida," which received international airplay across stations such as BBC 6 Music, 5FM, and Kiss FM and were remixed by high-profile artists such as Ahadadream (Boiler Room), ZDS (Dirtybird), Jey Kurmis (Hot Creations), and Bakongo (Roska Kicks & Snares).

'Who is Otm Shank?' is an exploration of identity. Deep, intense, rich, lush, colorful, psychedelic, groovy, and experimental, it's a reflection of Dobson's journey of discovering his deep connection with Indian culture and music.

The project is a concept album based on the Indian hand drum tabla. Born as a result of his devoted study of tabla with his guru Debasish Chaudhuri (nephew and disciple of world-renowned tabla master Swapan Chaudhuri), Dobson used many varying tools and techniques to present tabla in an electronic form quite unlike anything that's come before.

Featuring big and bouncy analog house tracks such as "Otm" and "Dirt," contrasted with experimental psychedelic experiences such as "Tamdrin" and "Maharaja," and tabla composition-heavy performances such as "Rela," "Biryani," and "Baya," the album is a cosmic collision of East meets West.

Drawing influences from 60s minimalist artists such as Terry Riley, techno and house artists such as KiNK and Claude VonStroke, and true to Indian classical music, Dobson took a live improvisation approach to make the album. Stepping away from his usual sample-based production style, 'Who Is Otm Shank?' was made almost entirely with analog synths, drum machines, and outboard gear.

Dobson mixed the album under the guidance of legendary producer and mix engineer Adam Moseley (Trident Studios, Tina Turner, U2). The artwork features Egyptian artist Mahmoud Gafar's Square Kufic calligraphy skills, which reads "Otm Shank" in Arabic in the shape of a question mark.

Since time without beginning, artists have sought to unravel the mysteries of life through their work. But does great art provide answers or only stimulate further questions? In his debut album, Dobson explores many questions to find his ultimate answer to 'Who is Otm Shank?'

A remix package will follow.
