Dial M for Mantra

If you think you know the music of Jai Uttal, then get ready for a surprising adventure into uncharted territory. When remix artist Rara Avis of Shaman's Dream began to break down Jai's devotional classics in his Los Angeles studio, he discovered a hidden side to the kirtan that was "dripping with funk." With Dial M for Mantra, Jai's soulful chant takes a metamorphic trip through the alchemical labs of a world music innovator --and emerges as delicious, downtempo "kirtronica."
