Album profile

 

STAR CIRCUS

 

 

Star circus is the first Solo album of Tajmahal aka Stephane Gallay (plus some additional friends). Tajmahal’s style of composition shows his music as a bridge between trance and downtempo rythms.

His key is to follow the path of his feelings in the music he composes.

The list of guest artists and producers was chosen at the beginning of 2006.

This album was pre-mastered at Quest 4 goa studio, Matosinhos, Portugal

Deep hypnotic track exploding with some tribal percussion.

Wow! A chilled but solid groove.

4 . Morphonix & Tajmahal

"Lunar sea" 110 bpm

This track was initially started by Taj in Portugal and finished by Morphonix in San Francisco.

Using New technology allowed both artists to break frontiers by working in harmony with each other while being in different places at different times.

This track is a beautiful journey into true psychedelic melodies and tribal rhythms.

A lumbering journey through swaying sounds.
