"Berkane Sol label returns with a unique 12" created by Nottingham-based producer Geiom. An on-going collaboration between Geiom and Pakistani vocalist Khalid has now produced a bunch of classic hybrid songs, of which this is the first on release. A shared love of classic era Indian film soundtracks from the '60s and '70s has led to this project -- anyone who enjoys the music of legends like Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle or Mohammed Rahfi will understand this record straight away. Epic vocals float over the top of dubstep-style drum patterns spiced with some hot tabla licks. Live harmonium parts and flute lines meet with sitar fx and some heavyweight bass action to create a truly psychedelic and distinctive track that defies genre. The intro on the flip gives the listener more space to absorb the musical sections and the a cappella is a quirky DJ tool -- sounds big mixed over grime instrumentals in particular. There have been several Asian-influenced dubstep tunes made over the past year, but this is the real thing -- no samples were harmed during the making of this record!"
