New vinyl EP ‘Instant Transmission’ out now on Manjumasi

I have some new music out on vinyl this week. It’s a collaborative EP with Vridian, this time on Mark Slee and my’s Manjumasi imprint.

While Vir and I only met in person once (which was a hello/handshake at my OddBird Theatre gig in New Delhi back in 2017) we’ve had a close musical connection as he’d released 2 killer forward-thinking EPs on Manjumasi. We’ve been chatting over the years sharing music and musings on life in general. At the start of the pandemic, I had a lot of musical drafts, but I wanted to push them to the next level in terms of edginess and sophistication, so I sent a few tunes his way to see if he was inspired. He bounced back with some outstanding ideas, and we tirelessly worked on molding these lumps of clay into a lump of wax.

Artistically and personally, it’s been an absolute pleasure working with Vir and building our relationship – it took us two years to fully understand each other’s approach + figuring out when to compromise and when to veto, so I see this EP as the first chapter in a story that’s yet to be written.

I’m proud of our final product and floored by the absolute stormer remix from Christopher Ledger, another artist whose music is another dimension beyond the rest of the pack.

This is currently a vinyl-exclusive release, so check the link here if you’d like to own and support the music in its physical form!

A conversation w/ Atish and club booker (Peter Blick of Public Works/Walter Where?house)

The Office Hours Industry series continued this month with a guest appearance from respected club manager, promoter, and event organizer Peter Blick. Peter has been at the helm of nightlife scenes in San Francisco, Denver and Phoenix. I’ve worked with him many times, growing my presence in these cities at the likes of Public Works and Walter Where?House as well as through the Atish All Night series in SF and Denver.

Peter and I dug into how the world of promotion and event organisation in the electronic music world really works and what it is that promoters/bookers are looking for in emerging talent.

Discord Demo Day 012 – atish & Anja Schneider

It was very special to welcome Anja Schneider as my guest on the most recent Discord Demo Day. She has had a massive impact on the international underground scene and on my own personal musical path over the last two decades. She’s worn many hats over the years as a DJ, producer, label boss (of Mobilee Records and now Sous Music), and business builder, so it was great to have her join me on the stream. Hope you enjoy!
