Wild City #258: Vishal Unni

Though Vishal Unni's Wild City mix lands in the techno territory, it is hardly about slamming drums the genre usually makes one think of. Instead the hour and 12-minute journey focuses on the atmosphere that lies beyond it.

Surrounded by deep expanses of dubby sounds, the constant thump becomes meditative. The ebb and flow instead comes from whether Vishal rattles your body, like with the shaking low-ends of Plastikman's 'Akrobatix' or Sleep D's '041111', or takes you away from it deep into your mind with the heady peripheral eccentricitiy of cuts like Claudio PRC's 'Ebony Feathers' and Shoal's 'Gerakan'. All of this achieved through selections that will frequently get a techno-head pulling out Shazam or the tracklist as the Bengaluru-based producer and DJ no doubt uses his deep knowledge from managing the sound of India's seminal minimal techno label Qilla Records.

"This mix keeps it simple and euphoric, weaving deep & dubby energy across subgenres in a club context." – Vishal Unni
