essence

Fans of the Interchill, Instinct and Dakini Labels will be familiar with the West coast based producer, musician and Dj Adham Shaikh. Though perhaps best known as part of the four-member collective Ekko (their Brilliant 1999 Centripetal release remains a personal favourite), Shaikh has been creating both solo and collaborative efforts for the past 15 years. He's a true producer, brilliant at pulling peoples' talents together and insightfully committed to his vison of electronics meeting organic (often ancient) instrumentation.
