Bass In Your Face!!

I’ve been on the live music circuit for the past decade with Bhangra pioneers Apna Sangeet. As a keyboard player, I’ve toured the UK and played around the globe. So when it comes to live music I know what it means to be in a band and the buzz you get performing on stage. It’s like no other feeling to know what you are doing on stage, with your instrument, is making thousands dance. Many might call me a sell out for becoming a DJ and a PA act, but I did 7 years of 100% live before exploring other areas.

The Real Bombay Bronx

My flight left Mumbai’s Sahar Airport just ten minutes ago. I still bear the evidence of my visit, from mosquito ‘macchar-punctures’ and a battered copy of ‘Shantaram’, to a ruined pair of once box-fresh trainers now permanently impregnated with red oxide dust. The sounds of India still ring heavily in my ears, from the heavily rotated Bollywood of ‘Barso Re’ to the progressive young knives of the Indian Underground: Funcinternational, Vishal and Shekhar, Jalebee Cartel, Submerge and Pentagram.

Outlandish At The Scala, London

I was never too familiar with Outlandish’s music and the first time I ever heard of the group was when the single “奥补濒辞耻” came out from their debut album “Bread and Barrels of Water". Yesterday I was lucky enough to witness what the hype was all about and admittedly I was pretty blown away after seeing them perform. 
I had not been to Scala for quite a few years so I’d forgotten how intimate the venue was which was perfect to see a group like Outlandish. When I got to the venue at 6pm to do my soundcheck there were people queuing already!
