THE FINAL TRACK “Kalanthia” on producer-DJ Iyre aka Sasith T Gamage's new EP Light of Hope swerves between ambient passages and rattling drum and bass, its synth-bass almost slicing through the beats like a saber.
The Colombo-based artist says the track was composed as Sri Lanka had enforced its third lockdown last year. "[I was] confused and angry because we were not seeing the end of the Covid outbreak, and I was mentally exhausted. I tried to improvise with dissonance, which is quite evident with the style I have followed in the second drop." The urgent song is also a nod to Gamage's metal influences, even if they're a bit latent throughout the five-track EP, which released on May 27th via U.K.'s Goldfat Records.
