This is Vancouver based producer and musician CALAMALKA (aka MICHAEL CAMPITELLI). Inspired as a youth by the reggae/hardcore crossover of BAD BRAINS, then the Jamaican roots of KING TUBBY and LEE \"SCRATCH\" PERRY, Campitelli realised dub was truly the predecessor to all electronic and hip hop music alike. Campitelli\'s own beats are inspired by PETE ROCK, PREMIER and JAY DEE. As you listen to the album, each beat bangs with a thundering crack and thump. Volcanic bass pushes cryptic incantations through the murky surface while mysterious melodies snake like shadows through shattered skies. Calamalka\'s earthshaking rumble vibrates with inspiration. His riddims ride on mesmerising tones that magnetise ears. Hypnotic bass that swells casting deep spells over the listener. LA WEEKLY \"We live in a stew of evil, and you won\'t smell it any clearer than in the music of Vancouver\'s Calamalka. Doomy, doped, crosseyed and way out there, it\'s the hellbound sound of the soft machine\"... XLR8R \"we may have just stumbled upon the bastard child of Pole and Monolake\".
