"While firmly planted in its Electronic roots, The Protist ventures into new territory with its first release. Hints of music from many different genres all come together to create a unique fusion that combines a multitude of sounds. While listening, one may notice the influence of electronic musicians, such as DJ Krush or Björk. And upon further exploration, the subtleties come out, which range from Dub to Orchestral and everything in between. Aside from musical influences, the EP draws inspiration from the city of San Francisco, where it was recorded. Ethereal synths float over gritty beats like the fog that gently envelopes the city, while an array of sonic textures mesh together like the many cultures who reside there." - Press Release
"San Fran's the Protist turns in a certified monster of a beat with "The Bhabar Belt." Brooding, cinematic keys on the intro make way for a fresh sitar sample that works to perfection over some seriously bangin' drum programming. Download this down-tempo gem and see why yours won't be the only head nodding… If you're into big, atmospheric production, this track is top-class!" - Myxertones..
