Since their Six Degrees Records debut in 2002, the MIDI val PunditZ -- the first Indian electronica band to
hit the international scene -- has ushered in a new era of possibilities for the sound of 21st-century India. Their
unique and expansive artistic vision marries the soulful elegance of South Asia's extraordinarily rich traditional
and classical music heritage with the exuberance and limitless potential of modern Western electronic music.
Listeners around the world have embraced their culture-crossing expressions with huge enthusiasm, and their audience is growing rapidly: one of the tracks from their first, eponymous album, Fabric, was used on the soundtrack to Mira Nair's hit film Monsoon Wedding. Now, with their newest Six Degrees release, MIDIval Times, the duo of Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj -- who work as producers, remixers, and club impresarios as well as live artists -- document the musical, emotional, and intellectual journey of the past three years. read all |
