Ror-Shak

Ror-Shak is DJ Stakka and DB over in New York. Their latest album Deep is loved by many including Moby who was quoted saying simply what he means, “Great Electronic Music.” Well if if has Moby’s seal of approval I don’t know what else you need?! In all honesty this album will leave you wishing for more. Kinda like every Thievery Corporation album. Ror-Shak collaborated with other great artists on the album like MorningWood’s Chantal Claret and Pedro Yanowitz (more MorningWood in the archives) along with Julee Cruise, Lisa Shaw, Wendy Starland. All amazingly beautiful voices. You will hear the influence of Zero 7, Thievery Corporation and many others. If you like any of those groups mentioned you must get a hold of this album

Here’s a little bit on their name that I thought was interesting.

The name Ror-Shak is a play on the swiss psychiatrist Dr Rorschach, who devolved the ink blot test in which everybody sees something different. In Ror-Shak’s case, everyone hears something unique, it’s also a tip of the hat to Alan Moore for His Watchman character by the same name.
