Years in the making, 'Machine' is the long-awaited independent follow-up to the classic 2001 Shadow Records release 'Downtempo Dojo'. On this excursion, SARU takes a darker turn while exploring the deep, complex rhythms and acoustic environments he is known for. With a wide range of electronica styles and a cinematic storyline, SARU transports you to a world both familiar and strange.About SARU: Los Angeles Producer / DJ / Volunteer Monkey Ranger SARU spends one month each year trekking through the mountains of Nepal searching for rare herbs. Are they in between a baboons brow, under a long forgotten trading card, or possibly in the folds of a sequined prayer robe? Who knows. He seeks these rare and mystical plants for a magic elixir that will one day wash away the woes of the world. Someday he'll find the elusive ingredients. In the meantime he settles for twisting vinyl discs into eighty-minute mandalas and brewing his special tincture of throat-soothing beats.
