SKY DANCING - Nada Masala volume 2
-
various artists
"Sky Dancing: Nada Masala Vol. 2" is DAKINI's second label compilation, the follow-up to Vol. 1, which has been the label's best-selling and most popular release so far. Vol. 1 quickly sold out its first and second pressings, and has now been re-released in the US and Europe on Milan Music/Universal, with an initial pressing of 20,000 copies. Vol. 2 is eagerly anticipated: it has been one year in the making, and represents the cream of chilled electronica from around the globe (except Ibiza, thank you). No filler here: every track is the best the artist can make, and the album is compiled to create a total trip through sound. Like the first comp., "Sky Dancing 2" is a seductive collection of tribal beats, zen-dubs and ethereal grooves. "Nada" means "sound", and "masala" means "blend"; mix in equal parts ambient soundscapes, trance rhythms, dub mixing, ethnic instrumentation, and you've got the DAKINI blend : exotic, erotic and hypnotic.
