Indotronic Bass Heavy Love Songs.
Himalayan in its deepness, and as melancholy as the sunsets in Jaipur – This remix of Badi Dheere Jali from upcoming Bollywood movie ‘Ishqiya’ is musical morphine. This track makes me think of tragic star-crossed lovers meditating at the point of death, while their lives flash in front of them. It’s an extremely heavy track that showcases why Indian music, in its electronic areas, is the future.
The Bandish Projekt are without doubt perfect for this new decade, making songs of ethereal beauty whilst keeping their bass end as low as a robotic dictatorship. Mayur Narvekar, the brain behind the beats grew up in Gujarat but now resides in Mumbai and is one of my favorite Indotronic Warriors (Other warriors to be covered in later posts..)
Their album ‘Correkt’ is out now to buy, and in my opinion its a seminal work in the history of electronic music in India. Whilst you’re ordering the MP3′s, enjoy the as yet unreleased ‘Badi Dheere Jali (Bandish Projekt Mix)’
Exquisite! The Bandish Projekt are masters of subtlety, entrancing us with their sound and drawing us in for more and more.
Well written blog that speaks from the heart!
