Contact Wave: Diamondstein & Sangam
10.21.18
Hosted by Los Angeles-based DJ and journalist Chris Kissel, the monthly dublab program Contact Wave enthusiastically celebrates the best experimental, avant-garde, psychedelic, and off-the-grid music crafted in L.A. and beyond.
This week’s episode featured in-studio guests Diamondstein & Sangam, whose collaborative album The Ocean Between Us releases Oct. 16 on Doom Trip Records. The album finds the duo expanding significantly on their sound, incorporating elements of postmodern classical music, beat-driven synth, and dream techno into their signature electronic minimalism. Tracks flow in and out like the tides, providing listeners an opportunity to let go completely; with bodies afloat on the water’s surface. While the music provides escape, it also offers an opportunity for introspection.
