"In its fusion of disparate elements: the occidental electronica of Polish musician Waclaw Zimpel and the Carnatic musical tradition of his four southern Indian collaborators... (Saagara 3) makes for a wonderfully alien patchwork of sounds where the rich colours bleed into each other to create something vivid." -- The Quietus "Shackleton has been something of an exalted figure since the mid 2000s ... he"s continued to develop his own unique sound world, straddling the electronic and experimental spheres." -- Pitchfork
Celebrated British producer Shackleton has transformed Saagara"s highly acclaimed 2024 album 3 into a haunting, dub-infused counterpart. What began as a remix request evolved into a full-length reinterpretation, where Saagara"s intricate blend of South Indian percussion, jazz, and electronic elements enters a dark, atmospheric dialogue with Shackleton"s shapeshifting soundscapes. The result is a captivating rework that stands beautifully alongside the original, subtly amplifying its drama while adding new layers of depth and mystery.
