Gran's House

Description

Bristol-based DJ/producer Jay Singh aka Indian Man has been a regular on the festival and club circuit for several years, bringing his distinct blend of musical influences, from electronica to the Punjabi sounds of his Indian roots, to dancefloors. Championed by the WOMAD festival, his first official release is a mixtape of tracks he created with a truly international cast of collaborators he met on his travels with the UK-based global music festival to Europe and South America, including stars such as Emmanuel Jal, La Dame Blanche, and Dobet Gnahoré. On returning from his many travels, Indian Man honed his craft in the spare room of his grandmother’s house where he was living as a carer. He spent his evenings playing DJ sets and producing dance music on a midi-keyboard left there from his father’s band, inspired by the melodies his grandmother sang around the house. Filled with driving dance rhythms, playful melodies and spine-chilling vocals, the result is Gran’s House – both a tribute to the loving family and diverse cultures that made him who he is, and the bold coming of age of a growing talent.
