Lapis by David Starfire

Lapis opens up with the title track and features the amazing Indian vocalist, Shrii. The track takes inspiration from trap and hip hop, then Starfire adds his signature sound with instruments from India including the bansuri (flute), tabla, and the santoor (hammered dulcimer). The second track, “Shock”, is a stunning glitch hop-twerk dance floor slammer that features the Ragga Twins, the award-winning vocalists that were featured on Skrillex’s Grammy-winning album Recess. This spectacular track also features instruments from India including the tumbi, bansuri, and dhol drums. The third track, “Kunja Bihari”, is a brilliant remix that David produced from his side project with FreQ Nasty, the Dub Kirtan All Stars. The remix features the Grammy-nominated singer Chaytanya, known for her enchantingly beautiful and unique voice. The last track, “Reflection (feat. Irina Mikhailova)”, is a remarkable remix by the extraordinary UK producer, Kaya Project. The reputable digital painter Mugwort created the cover art. This release encompasses diverse instrumentation from around the world with collaborations from incredible musicians and vocalists.
