Amanaska was born sometime in 2001 in the brain of Simon Lewis
when he began experimenting with mixing elements of electronica with jazz and funk and various musical languages from around the globe he had ingested during travels.

Amanaska has recently supported world music icon Talvin Singh and his album 'Circles' has received widespread critical praise for its consummate melding of world and electronic influences.

Circles is a cultural feast of eclectic music for lovers of world fusion and was recorded in the UK, USA, India and finished in Melbourne. This mid to down tempo album is a richly layered musical experience that blends organic sounds and electronica with worldly and spiritual influences. A supreme mix of female and male vocals and ethnic harmonies with beautiful string arrangements alongside earthy percussive elements and moody hypnotic rhythms and beats.

This lushly produced collection of tracks transports the listener through chilled beats to vibrant grooves and encapsulates a mood of sophistication and innovation that sets a new benchmark in the global fusion genre and ensures Circles takes you on a journey that leaves a memorable musical imprint on the listener.

Tracks from Circles can be found on compilations around the world including the latest Buddha Bar Vol IX. Amanaska has recently composed 7 new tracks for a CD-DVD collaboration with the famous Buddha Bar in Paris titles Buddha Bar Ocean. A new record is currently in the works for 2009.
