Universal On Switch

　“Universal On Switch”, created and produced by Govinda, is an amazing blend of Eastern melodies, heart felt vocal passages, dirty basses and wobbly electronic sounds laced with hauntingly seductive violin melodies. The tracks take you on a journey of sounds and lyrics formed from dreams while dabbling in the mumblings of an ancient far away mystical world. The music combines sensual violin textures contrasted by dirty synth and wobbly bass lines that blur the lines between the provocative, the spiritual, and the artistic.

Despite having some strong musicians in the genre, America is hardly ground zero for electronic music. Listening to Universal On Switch, it's surprising that such a beautifully exotic blend of world music and electronic jams came out of Austin's Govinda. The band is the alter ego of producer and composer Shane O Madden, who partners with Yasmin and Mirabai to create rich dance/music performances.
