Trance legend Seb Taylor comes to Vancouver to celebrate the launch of the 4th Shakta Album "Feed the Flame". Currently on a worldwide gigging and recording tour taking in India, Thailand, Japan, Australia and USA, with this being his first "trip" to Vancouver.
Shakta is one of trance musics most faithful artists, dedicated to the raw and true side of trance, Seb Taylor stands as one of Dragonfly's strongest artists. His musical style is pure and real, respecting the birth roots of Goa trance while producing wholly original and future forward music.
The new album is double cd pack containing 10 brand new boundary pushing trance tracks and a bonus cd of remixes, collaborations and side projects. Release date March 2004 on Dragonfly Records, UK. The first Shakta album "Silicon Trip" was released in 1997 also on Dragonfly Records. Seb has written under many different names and styles (Digitalis, Somaton, Angel Tears, Kaya Project, Biotone etc....), for most of the major psy-trance labels since 1995 - including Dragonfly, Phantasm, Matsuri, Flying Rhino, MDMA, Transient, Phonokol and many more...
Shaktas 2001 album - Out of Sight was described by Mixmag as... ...an awesome dark horse, progressive house at it best! An unexpected underground smash and the now defunct Muzik as four to the floor dancefloor magic. That was three years ago, a long time by anyones standards, even longer in the fickle world of club culture but Shakta looks like hes done it again.
On his new album - Shakta has harnessed all his creative and commercial instincts and hit the musical bullseye. Feed the Flame is a darker and more mature album echoing in parts the progressive sound of Out of sight but also embracing the current renaissance of harder psychedelia. The deep liquid grooves of Underground and Fire complement the harder sounds of Akira and Paranoid Again on this superbly produced album.
Fluid, phat and essential this album embraces a new generation of clubbers whilst deftly coaxing the thirty something generation into discovering something new. For a limited period Feed the Flame will be available with a second bonus CD of Shaktas finest remixes and collaborations including tracks from Hopefiend, Digitalis, Youth, plus the legendary club smash Into the Light. All these hard to find classics are available for the first time on CD.
Shakta... four albums in and a still a talent burning oh so brightly.
Feed the flame indeed...
