Vocalist Irina Mikhailova, formerly with organic trance act Medicine Drum and a solo artist in her own right, brings her classical training in
opera and middle eastern vocals, a love of the folk and gypsy songs of Eastern Europe and her native Kazakhstan, and many a night spent at an outdoor dance
gathering.
Multi instrumentalist and producer Jef Stott, currently signed to Six Degrees Records and with a full album due next Spring, brings a
sensitive touch to the oud, saz, dulcimer, yali tambur, and other instruments of the mid-east, while also contributing with software, synths, and beat
programming.
Producer and remixer Michael Emenau (anoher 6 Degrees artist) brings crisp production and a breakbeat sensibility to the music, working on the electronic
arrangements to support the traditional melodies. The entire album was mixed at the final stage by Dakini Records artist Toires, a French producer of phat
North African dub-funk, who brings a refined sense of space and clarity to the album.
'Ketri' is Lumin's 3rd album and first for Dakini.
