Ashik is one of those crafty indie cats that’s passionate about gypsy inspired music and knows how to add just the right special sauce to the mix to create dancing music for non-dancers that’s fun to hear and be spirited away by. Bouncy, energetic as well as hypnotic, this set certainly has an ethnic core but it’s as easily relatable as any of the cool gypsy inspired music of the last 30 years that crept into the mainstream mind even if by sneaking in through the back door. A fun, tasty outing that will have you tapping you toe before even know you’re doing it. Quite the instrumental delight, this is on the money throughout. – Chris Spector
