Vijayalakshmi Narayanan

Close on the heels of his recent album, 'CI3', Vancouver-based producer of Indian origin Shamik is back with his latest offering, the seemingly trippy, 'Gaali'.

An emotional South Asian-infused electronic compostion replete with Kannada accapella, moving instrumentals and footwork, the song has been accompanied by psychedelic music video, directed by Prithi Khalique of Bangladeshi origin, based in New York. Using references from ancient aesthetics of masks, monsters and mythological tales, the tracks reflects upon humanity and utopianism.

To his credit, Shamik has performed in over 15 countries with some of the world's most leading music acts. He has toured with Method Man amp Redman, Tanya Tagaq, DJ Kentaro, and DJ Q-Bert, opened for Flying Lotus, George Benson, Dam Funk, Kool Herc, The Glitch Mob, Dub FX, and Excision. Shamik is also the founder and curator of his own record label, Sensing Waves, which focuses on deep, ambient, and leftfield music. He is also one half of the electronic duo, Too Attached with his sister Vivek Shraya.

'Gaali' is now playing on Radio City Freedom.
