ANISH KUMAR Vinilo y CD

Review: North East producer and DJ Anish Kumar has put together a brilliant selection of Bollywood-inspired tunes here that collide house-and-disco into exciting new forms. The boldly but correctly entitled Bollywood Super Hits! collections starts with the exotic house depths of 'Asha' with its whimsical vocals and melodies, then 'Sadhana' layers bubbling bass funk with percussive invention and 'Nazia' is all big disco drum funk and archetypal Bollywood vocals. 'Ananda' gets sunny with a fantastic flute lead and medley of string sounds and 'Lata' is a heads-down Bollywood techno roller.

Review: Brit producer Anish Kumar and Hagop Tchaparian, former guitarist with indie hopefuls Sympoisum, unite on a two-part exploration of electronic sound. 'Part 1' unfurls gently with minimal percussion and ambient field recordings, creating a spacious atmosphere that builds in subtle intensity. 'Part 2' shifts gears, introducing deeper basslines and more driving rhythms, blending organic sounds with electronic textures to evoke a sense of movement and place. The result is an introspective, evolving soundscape that invites repeat listens, revealing layers with each spins.
