Upbeat techno

Donn Bhat is a music composer, producer, songwriter and guitar player based out of Mumbai.

In the past he's written, produced and played for the bands 'Friday The13th' and 'Orange Street' both of which won the Great Indian Rock (GIR) competition in 2003 and 2005 respectively. Eventually, after an extensive tour of Europe with Orange Street, Donn produced his first solo album 'One Way Circle' in 2006 from his bedroom studio in New Delhi. The album received a great response from press and fans alike and has seen a quick appreciating reaction from reputed stalwarts within India's independent music scene.

More recently three of his album tracks got featured on the MTV series 'Bring On the Night', whilst he currently is in the recording stages of his second solo album titled 'Passenger Revelator', alongside regularly composing music for film and advertising in Mumbai. He performs live with his band Donn Bhat + Passenger Revelator.

On the one hand, Bhat's built a reputation as a solid producer, making accessible music that embraces melodrama with uplifting emotion, yet never tipping over the edge. This mix however, showcases a midnight raid on the middle ground, combining high drama with glossy production and beefy choruses. An adaptable shapeshifter – and that, with his orotund vocal sound, an instantly recognisable one.

The Wild City mix he's made just might be our favourite one ever. And since Bhat's currently on his most prolific form yet, we're excited about the timing. If you're lucky enough to be going to Ziro Festival this weekend, you'll be able to catch him perform there. Otherwise, you'll have to wait till he next performs in a city near you. We may just do something about that though.

"This is a completely original set. Two of these tunes just got done last week, the others have been produced over the last few years. Song writing appeals to me and that's what I wanted to showcase. The first track, 'Stars Align' was something Aashar and I came up with in less than ten minutes one afternoon a few months back in Delhi - it was one of those days. Ironically it has turned out to be one the longest tracks we've done in a while. All these tracks were made at home. Hope you enjoy." - Donn Bhat

EREMITE- Mahadev Vibes (pre Final Version)

Resting Place

Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back


Skin tastes of thunder
Mouth full of tar
He said the sea forgives love
I test it nightly
Salt on the cheek
When we sleep, we dissolve
With the air, can't take
All I wanted was sound
And the world gave me pressure


The pure breaks like glass and dreamlike footsteps melt to smoke
I'm a soul with no middle
I breathe it in like guilt
If I'm smaller than forgive
Let me drown politely
If I'm bigger than grieve
Then let me in softly
We dissolve with the air, can't reach
Only sound, only part
Only you

What a storm
I still am

Don't Look Back

We Live In Shadows

SSP (Six Sample Project) was our first initiative after coming together as DASTA. The concept was to ‘gamefy’ music making and give ourselves restrictions in terms of time & content. 
Each of us put a sample each into a shared folder and had  1 week to finish a song using all 6 samples. We did this exercise 4 times and picked our personal favourites for this compilation. Some of the samples can be heard quite clearly but some of them have been warped, stretched and altered beyond recognition.
