About Press, Features & The Journey
My sound isn't just about throwing samples together; it's about connecting the dots between obscure rhythms and modern club energy. Whether I am doing a radio spot or spending hours in the studio, the goal is always to bring that raw, percussive 'shor' from Delhi's streets to global dancefloors in a way that respects both the roots and the future.
It was never an overnight success. It started with learning tabla and keyboard in Delhi, taking a long break, and eventually getting pulled back in by the underground scene. That transition—from a student of traditional Indian rhythm to producing for global club stages—is the core of my sound.
When Mixmag Asia highlighted my 'Lush Lata Selects' EP and the track 'CQB', it wasn't just about the press. It was validation that the fusion of gritty UK garage, jungle, and desi percussion actually works. My 'Panch-Foreign' mix on CAMP Radio is another deep dive into that—curating a narrative where Indian flavors meet experimental global rhythms, much like an Indian spice blend.
Why does this matter for your track or event? It is not about hitting play on a standard beat. It is about bringing a specific narrative to the dancefloor. Whether I am producing a custom remix, flipping a classic, or building an original composition from scratch, I bring the same attention to detail—the same rigor that gets tracks played on Boiler Room, Rinse FM, and HÖR Berlin. I treat every project like a dubplate: something raw, high-energy, and ready to shell it.
