The endless supplies of analogue equipment, rare vinyl and the rogue ambience of his very own ceiling studio mechano tonatelier inspire protassov to undertake ever new musical trips, the aim of which is most definitely the tripping itself.
Shalina Music
From atmospheric HipHop tracks like the opener „Liquid Season“ to Broken Beat Pop like the title tune „Shalina Music“ to thoughtful Reggae songs such as „I Wonder“ over to proper stompers like „Fine Times“, mediterranean „flic movie“ soundtracks like „Baby Headache“, moody zen soundscapes like „When We Dance“ or the before-mentioned closer „Never Gonna Stop“ – if these times are truly wasted, then let's never stop listening to Protassov and his „Shalina Music“!
„....I wonder is the track that stands out !“
Richard Dorfmeister (G-Stone Records/K&D/AT)
„Sounds pretty good. Congratulations!“
Kid Loco (FR)
„…it sounds great. Like early Quantic/Bonobo stuff in parts which is no bad thing. Good production and the tune with Bajka & the one called 'wake up' are great!!“
Diesler (Freestyle Records/UK)
„"I wonder" ft. Bajka .. cool track for the radio!“
Makossa (FM4 Radio/G-Stone Records/AT)
