Okedo & Pluto Monkey Release Collaborative EP 'New Fusion Movements'

28 March 2023

New Delhi artists Ishaan Gandhi aka Okedo and Antriksh Mohapatra aka Pluto Monkey recently collaborated together to release the EP 'New Fusion Movements', combining the former's penchant for meticulously layered production with the latter's ease at sampling over 6 tracks.

Building upon the foundational warmth of repeating bass and electric piano motifs with organic timbres within a marriage of live and electronic instrumentation, the EP gives an easy callback to seminal albums like Nightmares On Wax's 'In a Space Outta Sound' and Theo Parrish's 'American Intelligence' in style. The pair assembles loops upon loops but so gently the assortment never becomes hectic and presents a comforting bustle fit for the increasingly sunny days.

One of the most cohesive offerings by either of the artists, the EP ever so slightly diverges by picking up the echoing psychedelia of dub on 'Work the Experience' and embraces lo-fi hip-hop closely on 'Dr Gnarly', before Delhi-based act Rounak Maiti helps bring everything to a close with his vocal feature on the final number 'In Ur Eyez?'.
