Wild City #224: Sindhi Curry 'Garage & House Origins'

A mainstay of dance music in India, Pramod Sippy aka Sindhi Curry is one of the most seasoned commanders of the dancefloor in the country. For our latest mix, the DJ marks signing up with the agency Maushi by running through the several stylistic excursions he has tried over the years to engage with a musical atmosphere he hasn't explicitly offered to the public ear before.

"As a DJ who has been immersed in the music industry for over twenty years, my decision to join Maushi was driven by a deep-rooted connection to their core values and unwavering passion for the music scene in our country. From the first gig I played for them, I felt that they wanted to bring something special to the fore," says Pramod about his latest career move that he marks with this mix. "With Maushi, I have found a team of like-minded individuals who also share their love for vinyl and the unexplored realms of music."

With the special mix entitled 'Garage & House Origins', Sindhi Curry steps away from his usual genre-unrestricted fare of circling the moodier grounds of disco and techno. He dives into his vaults for a sense of old-school house and garage without necessarily choosing classic cuts – but rather, picking up selections that serve as either example of that era or a love letter to its no-nonsense fun.

Taking off from the black music flavours of Korda's 'Move Your Body(To The Sound)' which reminds one of the early vocal-based house music, you don't notice when Sindhi Curry transforms the atmosphere completely by the time Krautrock-reminiscent 'World Rebellion Plan' by Westbam makes an appearance midway. Tying it all is an upbeat energy suitable for reinvigorating a laidback summer afternoon.

"Bringing back the garage and old school house music I’ve been feeling lately. 'Origins' is largely representative of a vintage nineties sound yet fresh in its own way." – Sindhi Curry
