Adham Shaikh

Adham Shaikh (Sonicturtle.com) (live artist) - From the mossy mountain forests on the west coast of Canada, global electronics producer, film composer, and sound designer Adham Shaikh weaves global music tapestries that take listeners on sonic journeys transcending time and place. Adham's sets can be described as ever-evolving blends of deep original global grooves, tribal rhythms, west coast bass, complex dub, and lush downtempo atmospheres. From a one-man show equipped with drum machines, iPads, and synths, all the way to his 10-piece Outworld Orkestra, amassed from a collection of the world’s finest fusionists, dancers, and visual artists performing his music live. Adham's music traverses diverse landscapes and times, connecting the listener with a kaleidoscope of cultures. He has shared the stage with such diverse artists as Shpongle, Ott, Bluetech, Michael Franti, Ganga Giri, Mad Professor, Gaudi, Tipper, Beats Antique, Nickodemus, Fungineers, Delhi2Dublin, David Starfire, Random Rab, and Kalya Scintilla. And 2012 saw him share his creations at great electronic music festivals like Symbiosis, Beloved, LIB, Shambhala, and BassCoast. Adham has also performed internationally at festivals in Ecuador (WaterWomen), France (Hadra), the UK (Waveform), Portugal (Boom), Japan (Dakini), and New Zealand (Luminate). 2013 will see Adham perform in New Zealand, Costa Rica, and return to the U.S. From folk and jazz festivals to premier electronic festivals and clubs, Adham brings the show and the heat for any occasion.
