Shamik

"Sometimes it seems as if Shamik has 3 or 4 very different sounds; bass, drums and melody, all coming out of his mouth at once. Other times it seems he has mastered the ancient art of circular breathing."

-Vancouver Island Music Festival

"Shamik required nothing but his mouth to pull off a DJ's stint."

-Midday Magazine India

"It's hard to believe the beats he throws down with nothing other than his voice."

-The Force Gazette

"Shamik will continue to forge ahead and break barriers. He is a man who thinks music is about the people, the growth of an idea, and deeply emotional."

-All The Best Things Magazine

Had to seek you out after Rothbury, man. You were that crazy moment during the fest in which my boyfriend and I turned to each other and asked a question we may never ask again: "did that guy just make a series of diminished triads (with backing bass beat) come out of his gob?" You were one of the highlights for sure ... and we're talking ROTHBURY here. Way to be awesome, and thanks for the add! :)

yeah that was an amazing time if i say so myself. definitley have been spending the past two days catching up on sleep but like you said it was well worth it.

traffic for us wasn't too bad, we left sunday around 9 or so. missed out on phil and the closing party but people had to work so i respected that.

i checked out dj harry and dj rekha too. dug both their styles a lot. anyways, no problem on the green and if ever in colorado or cali i'm sure one of us would be down for chillin again. haha have a good one and thanks for your awesome cd.

It's exciting to see you on fire. May the flames grow. I'm sad that I've been away so long. I'm coming in October for little visit. We should do something.
