DownTemple Dub: Remixed

Lotus Heart (Kalya Scintilla Remix)

Shanti Planti is proud to present its second official release, “Lostwithiel”, by the burgeoning musical force, Akasha Experience.  This otherworldly opus has been immaculately intentioned, for the listener to have an utmost purifying and exalting experience.  Ultimately culminating and aggrandizing the deification of Dub, the extrasensory entities behind these sacral sounds humbly wish for you to join them, in further discovering worlds uncharted, exploring the luminiferous æther and their channeling of ineffable, electronic Esoterica.  This five track EP is brimming with loads of levitational frequencies, misty-eyed musings and an indescribable cadence that epitomizes each vibratory vista; including a reconfiguration by the up-and-coming Parisian duo, Land Switcher.

Welcome one and all, to Cirque du Cosmique!  Look deep within your mind and see manifest a display of glorious grandeur.  Our first destination, on our journey towards Nada Brahma, is at the lucid locale known as, “Soul Circus.”  It is verily evident that this track was meticulously crafted and has the sole purpose of facilitating heightened states of consciousness, with its inward spiraling rhythm and metacognitive melodies.  Multiethnic instrumentation graciously inundates this phonic pageantry, as glitches of gypsy likeness and an aerial aesthetic fill the space between notes.  An initiatory composition of this magnitude is guaranteed to set your feet ablaze and soul aloft!

Opening with a sample of an anecdote about dimethyl dreamtime, by Ethnopharmacologist and legendary shamanic scholar, Dennis McKenna, “Shanti Planti,” is an East-meets-West, culture-bridging mantra.  An uprooting bass and squelches galore beautifully complement the mellifluous structure of this tune.  However, the most propulsive element to this track has to be the romping, tribal percussion and tidbits of tasty tablas, talking loquaciously.  The interface of acoustic and electronic implementation is seamless, and the overall vibe of this track will have listeners enamored with Indra’s Net of Jewels.

The title track, “Lostwithiel,” starts very hazy.  It is easy to imagine the picturesque, verdant Cornish landscapes that inspired these serene soundscapes.  From the first note, one will understand that this song is optimal, for introspection.  As a hang drum gently ensues, exuberant emanations of blissful beats swell.  This song is ripe with repose and refinement, as the auditory architecture shines above all and was built to uplift Spirit and stimulate neurotransmitters.  It is only natural that this magnificent Ethno-Dub gem would share the same name as the EP.

Land Switcher’s remix of “Soul Circus”, is this EP’s penultimate tune.  These lads are gaining quite a reputation, at such a rapid pace, and rightfully so.  They always seem to lace their manifestations with a certain, potent psychotropic proponent.  Whether it’s their sagacious sound design or ever-evolving methods for production, Land Switcher is all about making a lasting impression.  In this remix, they exemplify their various techniques, by echoing motifs of cascading synths and a reverberating blasting of bass.  It is nice that this EP provides an albeit different approach to hearing one’s “Soul Circus.”

The final installment is a reincarnation of Quanta’s tune, “Quazilimbo.”  This rework is a pristine example of that classic, iconic Psychedelic Ambient-Dub sound, being consciously preserved, yet genuinely modified.  It features mesmeric melodies, celestial chants and a groove that germinates throughout the duration.  These are those heartbeats that cannot be contained and are just bursting with brilliance. An overwhelming feeling of surreal significance is deeply implanted and these cryptic codes need no demystifying, they’re omnipresent. This tune is accentuated by exotic overtones and a strong presence of Asiatic woodwinds, which flutter to soaring heights.

Akasha Experience and their Shanti Planti collective are only just beginning to emerge and consolidate.  Their amelioration is imminent and soon will take full form as an incredibly innovative and imaginative vanguard, of likeminded folk and sonic sages.  They all embody a passion for manifesting beautiful music that is unparalleled, as everyone taps into the Universal wellspring, of primordial vibration.

Originally released on Dragonfly Records in 2005, Tripswitch's debut album Circuit Breaker landed to widespread critical acclaim and became recognised as one of the landmark releases of the psy-chill genre, establishing Nick as one of the godfathers of the scene. Tracks from the album were picked up for numerous compilation licenses by the likes of Nick Warren, Jose Padilla and Claude Challe, and continue to be licensed for compilations, TV and film - most recently "Roll Your Own" has been included in the soundtrack to the Bollywood movie "The Blueberry Hunt". 

The first release quickly sold out and 2 years later, by which time copies were changing hands on ebay for as much as $150, Dragonfly re-released it as a double CD package including a completely reworked edition with versions of each track from a clutch of the world's top electronic producers. 

Both original releases were dogged by digital distribution issues and were therefore never available for download in many parts of the world. Section Records inherited and sold off the remaining CD stock in 2010,  and in 2012 re-issued the original 2005 Circuit Breaker album as part of our own digital catalogue. Now in 2013, we're delighted to be able to add Circuit Breaker Rewired to that collection, completing the Tripswitch discography and finally making it available worldwide.

"Re-vamped into a sun-kissed body of work" (DJ Mag, Oct 2007) 

“A great selection of remixes of one of my favourite albums "
Nick Warren

Some comments about the original ‘Circuit Breaker’:

“Everything is very beautiful; each track starts slowly and takes you on a journey. It's quite a sexy album."
Anoushka Shankar - New York Times, March 26, 2006

”Uplifting, surprisingly refreshing and begging to be described as ‘Psychedelic Chic’.”
DJ Mag - 4/5 stars

“Welcome, welcome, welcome. To one of the finest chillout albums ever recorded. To the first genuinely essential chilled release of 2005.”

“The mighty LSD have done it again with Circuit Breaker - another classic down tempo album.”

Roll Your Own (Youth vs Subsonar remix)

For a veteran chillout producer to successfully navigate the transition to sought-after producer / remixer and DJ within the Progressive House scene, is not an easy ask. But Nick Brennan a.k.a. Tripswitch has done just that – and with distinction. It was his Tripswitch ‘Vagabond’ album (Iboga Records, 2016) that cemented his highly rated status as a key dance producer beyond doubt. The album rose to the top of the Beatport charts, hitting #1 in Electronica and holding at #2 in Progressive House for 3 months.

Since then, a flawless resumé of releases on Bedrock, Sudbeat, The Soundgarden, Movement, Balkan Connection, Flow Vinyl, Pure Progressive and many more creatively exciting labels, has seen Tripswitch’s progressive stock grow exponentially. Chart-topping collaborative studio projects with Nick Warren and Hernán Cattaneo, along with a huge bootleg remix of London Grammar’s ‘Rooting For You’, helped to propel him to the upper reaches of the production cosmos.

Tripswitch’s melodic, emotionally charged, proper progressive DJ sets at amazing events around the world have resulted him gaining a loyal and ever-growing global audience. In 2017 Nick launched his onedotsixtwo label, with its distinct forward-thinking proper progressive ethos. Impeccable curation and the remarkable smash single ‘Voight Kampff’ (courtesy of Tripswitch & Nick Warren) have already seen onedotsixtwo recognised as a ‘Vital Label’ by DJ Mag USA in 2019.

Never one to limit himself creatively, early 2020 saw Tripswitch release ‘Memento Mori’, his hugely anticipated first chillout album in 10 years.
