about

Dynamic duo Marti Nikko and DJ Drez are back with the highly anticipated follow up to 2015’s “Dreaming in Sanskrit.” A dub heavy affair chock full of experimental electronic vibrations, “Dreaming in Sanskrit 2” is an emotionally evocative masterpiece of the mantra music revolution.

Nikko’s golden voice is intoxicating and entrancing as she weaves ancient Sanskrit mantras and the Holy Names through each of the album’s tracks. Whether love songs to the Divine Couple Radha Krishna, Shiva and Shakti mantras, a Kundalini invocation to guru, and even a few surprises, “Dreaming 2” is a lush sonic soundscape that is dripping with bhava, devotional mood and sentiment. Her vocal stylings, accentuations and improvisations are entwined in the fabric of the production adding flavor, deep feel and brilliant instrumentation throughout the mix.

Musically, “Dreaming in Sanskrit 2” is a continued statement of evolution of Drez’ taste-making, genre defying, sonic seduction. From the hip hop genius of his younger days, to the jazz vibes of the Moon Bay Sessions and of Nikko’s roots, from the Eastern influences of the Jahta Beat series to the more recent electronic exploration and always reggae, the new album holds elements of each yet is completely unique.

The dub champion sound begins with the album’s first notes and continues in varying production subtleties through the last. “Adi Parashakti” and “Jai Shri Radhe Remix” are standouts and would make King Tubby and “Scratch” Perry proud. When the echo chambers, drum and bass, horn section and organ drop on the later track, the feeling of freshness percolates and all feels incredibly right with the world.

This independently released gem is a sublime paradox - deeply and powerfully intimate while being cosmically transpersonal, well-grounded in street-wise rhythm and beats and also celestially soaring, abiding freedom amidst deep longing for human and divine connection. Dreaming in Sanskrit 2 is music that you pray gets stuck in your head - a sublime soundtrack for the awakening of our consciousness and also for getting groovy here together on Mother Earth in a celebration of love.
