  • Nikki Nair never misses the mark with his punchy club cuts that blend breaks, house, techno, garage and drum & bass. On his contribution to a charity compilation for India's Covid-19 relief, the Atlanta producer combines 2-step and lean tech house to transform a wistful record into a dance floor heater. The original, from a 1978 Bollywood film, is a sad ballad of longing. While Nair keeps its melody and lyrics intact, his skittery tempos, warped vocal loops and cascading bleeps uplift the mood, adding a zippy feel.
