"Life is like the ocean. You can gather it by the spoon. If you desire more, you can get a cup. But if you really want to experience its essence, you have no other choice, but to dive in."

ELECTRIC LOTUS
GOA-INFUSED 'ELECTRIC LOTUS' FEATURES THE TURNTABLE ARTISTRY OF
DJ BABA G, DJ SWAMP AND DAN "THE AUTOMATOR" NAKAMURA
Los Angeles, CA - March, 2002 - Milan Entertainment in conjunction with Electric Lotus Records proudly presents ELECTRIC LOTUS, a unique collaboration by three of today's biggest multi-faceted talents, DJ BABA G, DJ SWAMP and DAN "THE AUTOMATOR."
This epic release introduces a whole new genre of music - Sufi Trance, a complex mixture of sacred tribal, soul and Goa trance fused with the classic arrangement of tabla, sitar and turntables. Sufi trance is the sole creation of Baba G. By age 15, he was already spreading the gospel of this music to his small 'Electric Lotus' parties where it grew into massive events, attracting upwards 15,000 apostles including one devout follower, John Lennon.
For this eminent recording BABA G called upon some friends to lend a hand:
DJ SWAMP - BECK'S DJ for the past four years who has also worked with KID ROCK, CRYSTAL METHOD, MORCHEEBA and DUST BROTHERS among others.
DAN "THE AUTOMATOR" NAKAMURA - Aside from forming the GORILLAZ with BLUR frontman Damon Albarn, THE AUTOMATOR has worked with a slew of talent from KOOL KEITH to DJ SHADOW.
BABA G will be appearing at:
