Jitwam, a co-founder of interdisciplinary creative project Chalo, takes us on a “psychedelic journey through the sounds of the motherland” on today’s groove-ridden Sunday Mix. This one’s dubbed ‘BOLLYFUNK’.
“I wanted to show how revolutionary and forward-thinking Indian thought and sounds have been, and their impact on music over the years,” says the roving musician, who was born in Assam, raised in Australia and now lives between New York, Berlin and London. “Only in India can you find the first recorded documents of drum machines synced with synthesisers, big brass over the sounds of a burning train, traditional melodies and ragas over the sounds of some funky ass breakbeats.”
“This is what I try to do with my music as well,” he continues, “make you stop and think, ‘where the f*** did that come from?’ Music that transcends the conscience, and makes for an out-of-this-world experience.”
