Shalina Music
Switchstance
BEATS
First full length solo album by SWITCHSTANCE’s psychedelic Beatmonster PROTASSOV who is known for his work with KABANJAK & the JUNGLE BROTHERS (SRCD003), his remixes for DR. RUBBERFUNK or ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS on labels such as BASTARD JAZZ, LOOP RECORDINGS and his musical contribution to DVD’s from BURTON SNOWBOARDS, QUICKSILVER or ELEMENT SKATEBOARDS.
The album is full of beautiful live guitars, chunky Beats and heavy breaks. Ranging from advanced downtempo to solid uptempo breaks to even beat-heavy reggae with female vocalist BAJKA (who has worked with BONOBO, RADIO CITIZEN, POETS OF RHYTHM, BEANFIELD and SOLA ROSA amongst others). For fans of KID LOCO, NIGHTMARES ON WAX, REGAL, REPHRASE 7 SAMURAI or KABANJAK & PROTASSOV.
From atmospheric Hip Hop tracks like the opener “Liquid Season” to Broken Beat Pop like the title tune “Shalina Music” to thoughtful Reggae songs such as “I Wonder” over to proper stompers like “Fine Times”, mediterranean “flic movie” soundtracks like “Baby Headache”, moody zen soundscapes like “When We Dance” or the closer “Never Gonna Stop” all give cause to never stop listening to Protassov and his ‘Shalina Music’!
