Aref Durvesh is one of the most active tabla players in the UK and has previously collaborated with the likes of Sting and Susheela Raman. On "Rational Exuberance" he joined hands with bass player and producer Felix Xfile Macintosh from Xkollective and V.U. and the two long-time collaborators created a soothing six track EP of world music downtempo electronica. Needless to say the focus is on tabla patterns (from steady and relaxing to fast and exciting) and deep bass lines, but the addition of vocals (by Aref himself as well as a female guest vocalist), guitar, bansuri and live drums on a few tracks make it a sexy fusion of styles and musical etymology that fans of Suphala, Tabla Beat Science, Karsh Kale and others will surely enjoy.

review Marc Urselli Chain D.L.K.

 

Rational exuberance is the latest offering from Bassist/Producer XFile and Tabla maestro Aref Durvesh. This six track EP effortlessly blends elements of dubstep (namely half-time measures and dark baselines), Indian Classical and IDM. Durvesh's tabla and bols provide the rhythmic framework throughout, anchoring the listener in an ethereal set of soundscapes. X-File's highly textured synths, broken breaks, thick bass and effected samples form the rest. Live performances from guitarist Sebastian Cure Bansuri player Lisa Mallett, drummer Ian Powell and vocalists Dune and T-Root add a dimension of musicianmanship that is sorely missing from asian electronica today. Together, the parts are a recipe for innovative and highly polished asian acoustica.
