Release notes:
--------------
MIDIval PunditZ is the work of producers Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj, two
veterans of India's thriving club scene who felt that Western dance music didn't
connect with them on the same emotional level as India's own classical and folk
music. In 1997, after several years of work setting up their own studio in New
Delhi, the two producers launched the PunditZ. Gigs with Tabla Beat Science, the
Indo-electronica act founded by producer Bill Laswell and tabla master Zakir
Hussain, put the duo on the map.
Since releasing their first Six Degrees record in 2002, the MIDIval PunditZ have
created a Bollywood film score, written music for a traditional dance troupe
from south India), collaborated with some of the great classical musicians on
the subcontinent, and contributed to several Six Degrees compilations.
On their newest release, Hello Hello, the PunditZ marry Indian raga, Bollywood
pop, and regional folk dance rhythms to several decades of Western dance music,
with echoes of everything from Bhangra to rock music to Daft Punk. This is
global electronica on Shuffle: Led Zeppelin's "Four Sticks" gets an
authentically South Asian treatment that builds on the faux-Indian sounds in the
original; a few minutes later we're in the 19th century with a setting of the
poet Ghalib's beautiful "Har Ek Baat" over a decidedly 21st century beat. All in
all, Hello Hello is the duo's most adventurous and mature release to date and
one that promises to excite old fans while attracting new listeners.
