| Desert Dwellers Down Temple Dub: Roots | |
 | Desert Dwellers is sensual Sanskrit mantra-infused music perfect for tribal trance dance and moving yoga classes. Tracing the routes of the ancient Silk Road, the Desert Dwellers lead an electro-mystic exploration of nomadic music and the timeless concept of groove-active hybrid sounds. A caravan of sound drawing from East Asia to the Mediterranean moves through a sensual psy-chill soundscape, bridging the millennia and connecting cultural past to musical future. Amani Friend and Rara Avis again join forces with Craig Kohland (Shaman's Dream), Treavor Moontribe and a diverse cast of talented musicians for the third installment in the Down Temple Dub series: Roots. With each album in their elementally-themed series, this collective has concocted sprawling sets of grooves that unite the tribal and the trippy. With “Roots”, they keep the formula intact, borrowing sounds from Asia and the various tropical sites to assemble their cross-cultural gumbo of sounds. Beyond all that, they take the intensity and compelling nature of the music, the beats and the whole gestalt of it up about 15 notches. While you can easily hear a nod to the heady brew that Cheb I Sabbah has been serving for quite some time (that’s a good thing!), the Desert Dwellers steaming concoction never lets go, even though it continually settles in so very deeply. Amidst trip-hop beats and natural percussion, listeners will be spellbound by the mix of Asian and Middle Eastern chants, guitars, Asian strings, & swirls of flute and keyboards. A feast for the senses that invigorates the spirit, body and soul while taking chill music to the next level (and a funky one at that!). |
