Deva Premal: Remixed

An all star cast of remix producers take Deva’s angelic voice to new heights on this new offering from Sounds True. Earthrise Soundsystem, Tierro, Shaman’s Dream, Cheb I Sabbah & Desert Dwellers are just a few of the talented artists lending their skills to migrate Deva’s amazing sounds into a chilled out electronic landscape

In contrast to the rock 'n' roll lifestyle of her husband Miten, Deva Premal was raised in an atmosphere of mantra and spiritual discipline.

Born in Nürnberg, Germany in 1970 of a mystic/artist father and a musically talented mother, she was taught violin, piano and received voice training. By the time she was five years old, she was already chanting the Gayatri Mantra daily, and since that time she continues to integrate meditation into her life.

Among the numerous letters of appreciation she has received since the release of her albums, many describe how her music has been used to accompany and enhance the sacred passages of birth and death. In fact, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, the world famous author of On Death And Dying, requested that Miten and Deva bring their music to accompany her passing. "We have played for many people," says Deva, "but to play personally for Elizabeth was something I will never forget.”
