Wild City #099 - Bit Of Both

DJs, producers, label owners and veterans in the Indian electronic scene - Ash Roy and Ashvin Mani Sharma (a.k.a. Calm Chor) come together as Bit Of Both for mix #099. There aren’t a lot of Indian acts that have been making and promoting electronic music for as long as Bit Of Both. Ashvin Mani Sharma and Ash Roy started off as founding members of hugely prolific Jalebee Cartel, which at the time also includede G "Force" Arjun (of Else If) and techno maestro Arjun Vagale. 2013 saw the launch of their imprint – Soupherb Records (here’s an old interview we conducted with Roy about it last year), a rapidly growing label that features upcoming producers in electronic music, mainly concentrated on techno, house and minimal. Bit Of Both is a live collaborative electronic project that they launched last year. Their aesthetic is apparent in the mix they sent us – the music features minimal, repetitive grooves with gentle overlying melody and vocals (by Roy). The act’s first music video for ‘Time’ featuring Anushka Manchanda was released earlier this year (watch it here). Wild City’s truly international mix #099 features music by the likes of German whiz Recondite, Brazillian producer and Kompakt signee Gui Boratto, Italian minimal techno musician Donato Dozzy and of course, homegrown talent and one half of bit Of Both – Calm Chor, whose tune ‘Everything is Sound’ closes the set. This is a great early evening mix to get your party juices flowing. For a tracklist and further info, head over here: http://www.thewildcity.com/EN/music.xhtml/article/8643-wild-city-099-bit-of-both
