Bandish Projekt Feat. Shaai’r

July 30, 2011 - Posted by dj umb

Here’s something SPECIAL that was created in a very short space of time, as will be explained below.

It’s our boy, Mayur aka Bandish Projekt with our friend, and now a bona fide Bollywood movie star, the supremely talented, Monica Dogra from India’s leading Electronica act, Shaai’r & Func!

All I got to add is that there’s some SUBLIME original tracks to come from this duo and we’ll bring you more news about that in the near future.

Over to Mayur:

On Wednesday 13th July 2011 – the day of the 2nd wave of Mumbai bombings – Bandish Projekt (a.k.a. Mayur Narvekar) and Shaa’ir – from Shaa’ir & Func (a.k.a. Monica Dogra) joined Bobby Friction in the BBC Friction Lab to record a remixed track LIVE, in less than 2 hours!

What emerged was ’50 Ways to Leave and Come Back’ – a live mash up of the following 3 tracks.

All our thoughts were with all the people of Mumbai, and this track was dedicated to them.
