Reviews & Discussion
Adham Shaikh is one of the most talented chill out artists out there. He has mostly released music on Canadian Interchill Records. Here he is out with a limited edition album on Sonicturtle Music (Socan). This album is dedicated to the sacredness of water. A really great album! If you are into Interchill releases, this sure is something for you. Beautiful organic chill all the way from beginning to end.
