The TIMES OF INDIA

Prem Joshua is the new Guru of East-West Fusion Music

Product Description

Dakini Lounge marks Indo-Jazz innovator Prem Joshua’s first encounter with DJ science. Here, an eclectic collection of cutting edge mixologists including Karsh Kale, Sean Dinsmore (The Dum Dum Project), Joi and Dharma Dogz (of Waterbone) shed new light on Joshua’s signature sound, translating his East-West alchemies into stunning dub, chill and dance floor masterworks.

Prem Joshua has come a long way from the 18-year-old German rocker, mind blown by a Ravi Shankar performance, answering a mysterious call from a faraway place. While spending the better part of 20 years in India (where he has sold well over 50,000 records), Joshua has developed a unique musical style employing sitar, Indian flutes, saxophone, electronica and tarana-style singing that artfully—and skillfully—bridges the gap between traditional Eastern sounds and Western jazz forms, prompting the Times of India to dub him "the new guru of East-West fusion music."

Dakini Lounge marks the next logical progression in Prem Joshua’s storied career. Placing the master musician’s songs in the able hands of these modern day studio mavens presents new interpretations and directions for the many listeners already in love with Prem Joshua’s music while introducing him to an ever wider audience.

This is not a typical yoga album even though I bought it for the purpose of using it during my yoga classes. The beat is fast, and it's trancey, and it has this techno beat to it. Great for a power or hot yoga class, but definitely not something I would play in a slow flow class. Having said that, I would like to listen to this music that I need a lift. It gets me in the mood, it gets me moving, whether in the car or just working on my computer. It's great music.

Very deep, musical journey. One of the best of my collection of electronic music compillations. Very beautiful, I cannot recommend this album enough. I've explored other titles by prem Joshua, but for some reason, they are totally different, and cannot compare to THIS CD. layers upon layers of sound and really chill, very COOL, ethnic, east indian melodies. What can i say, it's one of the best.

The whole album is great, but the remix by Dharma Dogz is worth the price. A masterpiece. Anyone into chill, relaxer or cool world music MUST pick this one up!
