How did you find your sound?
…………………………………………..

Well I use to DJ and would fuse different elements together. This initial experimenting lead me to be inspired but it was only when I started using music software that I started to really see what I can do with electronic music. I like to think outside the box and I always have, I already have an idea in my head and it’s just ready to come out via the software! I like good beats – that’s essential and sometimes it can take days to get the right break or drum pattern and basslines as well. I’ve studied what producers used in the earlier days of jungle, dnb and hip hop to see how they get a specific sound etc…as they say knowledge is key and I have a good ear for sounds and tones. I try and do a mixture of genres that I feel have an impact with Asian fusion for example Dubstep

I want to stand out from other producers so I try and not stick to one sound, but my music has been described as crazy, out there, bass heavy, and completely mad , and that’s way I like it….HAHAHAHAHH (evil laugh)

What equipment are you currently using ? are you an inside the box producer (computer based) or outside the box ( old school equipment) producer ?
………………………………………………………..

I use Ableton Live for my style of music and a midi keyboard, I think it’s the best software on this earth! So far anyway. I like to keep it simple and just focus on that nothing flash , just the essentials.

I have a lot of respect for old school equipment especially the old synths they use to use in the 80s and 90s. I also love the old 808 and 909 drums you cant beat them.

In your opinion, what will your genre look like 5 years from now ? Electronic Asian music is sprouting up throughout the diaspora and in India? whats your take ? dream gigs if any ?
………………………………………

I think the genre will be quite big and not just Asians making this music but non Asians well. I also feel that it will be much more established and at the same time more recognition should be deserved to the people involved in this amazing scene.

As for India, there have been a lot of requests for my tracks over there and the producers out there are making some brilliant music and more club nights are having the Asian underground theme. I feel the Asians in India are more open minded then the UK crowds, as Bhangra dominates the Asian music scene over here in the UK, and thats all they want to hear is Bhangra and nothing more.

Dream gigs will be to go all over the world and promote this type of music, but specific places for me will be: Miami, India, Australia, Japan and the Glastonbury festival in the UK.

Dream Collaborations with instrumentalists, vocalists or fellow electro producers ?
………………………………………

Liam Howlett from The Prodigy would be a dream! Massive Attack, Goldie, Dr Dre and Breakage.

Whens the expected release date for your album?
……………………………….

I’m aiming for Autumn it will be entitled ’I AM HERE NOW’ so I will keep you posted on that. Before this I will be releasing a free mixtape entitled ‘Punjabi Funk’ Era’ which should be out late summer …so watch this space peeps! in the mean time heres a sneak peak.
