Shantaram Garsi

Two track titles that evoke rich fantasies of a fragrant, multicoloured, lushly patterned world; two track titles with strong spiritual connotations. The sound of Garsi keeps up with these ideas, her intense melodies are like the glittering facets of healing crystals spinning in the sunlight. The precisely adjusted bass and the perfidious kick of the drum provide a sense of translucent solidity. In Shantaram the musical skill of the Ukrainian producer and guitarist manifests in the shades of a deep, trancy groove, a perfect primetime pick. In Ashram on the other hand, Garsi demonstrates rhythmic openness: The broken beat sits snugly under generous layers of modulating harmony, making a thoroughly danceable impact.
