Dan Wainwright 'Om Nama Shivaya' Review





Artist: Dan Wainwright


Title: Om Nama Shivaya


Label: Oddball Records


Released: See below




This is the first vinyl outing from Oddball Records head honcho Dan Wainwright. A Liverpool based producer who blends a heady concoction of influences that span the decades, from the psychedelic sounds of 60’s rock and pop, 70’s disco, 80’s electro and 90’s Balearic and electronic dance with a modern twist.


The title track takes the spiritual vibes of the Indian vocals and classical instruments and subtly balances them with synths and electronic percussion. The Rude Audio re-mix is anything but subtle, with slow and hard hitting electronic breaks that make a nest for the Indian chants and sitar.


The flip side ‘Cosmic Conciousness (We Are One) is more of a dubby chugger that travels from speaker to speaker alongside a suitable narrative and lovely percussion. Whilst A Space Aged Freakout retain all the essential elements of the original with a dubby modular synth re-working.


You can listen and choose to fund the records release of through Qrates until the end date of the 8th of October. With the added bonus of downloading the digital versions while you wait.
