What inspired this track selection
These are songs I genuinely enjoy reclining to. But this playlist is also 2 decades of nostalgia:
- Memories of lying on carpets and listening to music with friends over the years
- A time before streaming when making simple itunes playlists was sexy and fun, when I was buying a lot of experimental hip hop and LA beat scene stuff
- Trip hop classics that I grew up to as a kid living between India and the USA
- Songs that impacted me after moving to New York in 2018
Who’s track selection would you be most curious to see and why ?
In the context of this conversation probably Talvin Singh because of his impact on 90s - 00s downtempo, trip hop, dnb —he defined an era of deeply relaxing music that hit many living rooms I’m sure :)
Any new projects you’d like to talk about ?
It feels like I’m mostly back to the drawing board with music this year. That means I’m trying to expand my range a bit as a producer. It’s been exciting to explore more acid and electro territory; curious to see how it dialogs with my love of percussion and groove (or doesn’t). I just put out a single called Doubt Destroyer on Bandcamp last month — maybe you’ll hear these newer intentions in the track :)
