Cain - Atai - 12" Vinyl

Mining the sound palette of India once again, CAIN returns with 3 more tracks that augment global sounds with electronics and house/techno beats. Cain completes his Highlife hat trick with another dancefloor sureshot which melds the organic and exotic flavours with ruthless percussion tracks and bass sounds. The A-side plays host to "Atai", a floor flaying collage of thumb piano, conga, ngoni and chants carried majestically on a wall shaking kick drum. Recreating the disorientation of a distant night market, the producer adds swelling subs and techy sequences, flipping our lids completely. On the flip, "Juok" works similar elements into an altogether more menacing creation built on a growling bassline and Hessle style rhythms - proper soundsystem tackle. "Levare" sees the clouds part and storms clear, ending the set with dreamy flute melodies and percussive shuffle.
