- An intergenerational meeting of two Indian club music minds.
- A major dance music market home to one of the world's youngest populations, India is experiencing a hubbub of activity. New venues are opening up in the beachtown of Goa, bigger cities are seeing an influx of new parties and younger artists are entering the club circuit. AMNAP Records, a freshly-minted label in Mumbai, presents a small taste of the current momentum in the country's electronic music sphere through its debut release, a compilation capturing the range of sounds that make up the country's modern-day rave experience.
"Breaky Acid," an intergenerational cut made by footwork veteran Oceantied and up-and-comer Yung.Raj, is exactly what the title sounds like: heady jungle, those signature squelches and stacked claps. There's a fun, chase-like sequence throughout the track as acidic whomps dart in and out of whirlwind breakbeats, like a disappearing prize amid a myriad of obstacles in a video game. It's a high-energy, playful conversation between acid basslines and breaks, perfect for those wobbly early morning hours.
