Koushik - Be With

Home » k » Koushik » Album» Be With

"Koushik Ghosh heads to Stones Throw with another of the label's patented blend trippy, mellow atmosphere for the beat heads! It's a bit tough to get a handle on what we can expect from a Koushik full length down the road, but that's kind of the appeal, in a way. Like DJ Shadow's languorous tunes, this EP is more about the mood, than anything else. There's always a beat-heavy backend, breathy/atmospheric vocals, trippy effects, with tonal shifts from uptempo head-nodders, to laidback and groovy."–dustygroove.com

"Koushik works in beautiful blends of late 60s psychedelia, modern push-button sequences, and category-defying ethereal melodies. He has released a widely praised single with Four-Tet’s Keiran Hebden, remixed artists as diverse as the Webb Brothers and Manitoba, and created a series of recordings which he offered to Stones Throw – this EP is the first of them. Mixing the austere aesthetic of an early 90s crate-digging hip hop producer with the colouring of a free jazz sensibility and the dreaminess of the best psychedelics, this ain’t no by-the-numbers laptop folktronics. Hell, it’s on Stones Throw…"–boomkat.com

"Koushik is a friend of mine and knows more about music than anyone i've ever met. He's frightening."–Caribou aka Manitoba
